Integrity.
This post is not being written because we have a lack of it. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. This post is being written because our gym is filled with it, and I wanted to share a seemingly small but powerful example. On Wednesday I was lucky to be able to jump into the 4PM WOD as an athlete, which is always fun! On finishing that last set of 400m run, hang power cleans, and bar-over-burpees, those who had already finished sat on the floor and tried really hard to cheer for those who were still working while trying to catch their breath. Nobody’s done until everybody’s done, right?
As Susan S came in from her run, she repped out her power cleans and started on the burpees. I was counting her burpees and after the 5th one, I gave her a cheer. I was confused when she did one more for a total of 6. After she was done I asked her about it. Susan told me that on one of her burpees she accidentally stepped over the bar instead of jumping over so she “no-repped” herself and did one more to finish the WOD. Whoa.
This may not seem like a big deal, but it is. To Susan, it matters. What’s powerful about this to me is that although Susan ran the 400s like a champ and did the bar-facing-burpees as RX, she had to scale back to a challenging, yet non RX weight on the barbell. So that no-rep burpees wasn’t going to be the difference to an “RX” written on the board or not. But it was still important to her. And had I not just happened to be counting, it would have gone unnoticed.
A common example of integrity is doing the right thing when nobody is watching. These small, sometimes unknown and invisible examples are a huge part of our community and what makes it so special. Though individually these actions may not seem like a big deal, they are part of the intangible and often unexplainable that make the vibe of the gym so powerful. We don’t create it. Each of you do. And even when these actions go unnoticed understand that they really do matter. But you already know this.
