Drop-In Diaries: Culture, Community, and CrossFit

In the first episode of "Drop-In Diaries," CrossFit Seminar Staff trainer and affiliate owner Kelly Kim drops into affiliates in Seoul, South Korea, for a journey that’s equal parts culture, community, and CrossFit. Joined by Juria Maree, CrossFit’s South Asia country manager and Seminar Staff Flowmaster, Kim hits local affiliates and immerses herself in a city where performance isn’t just trained, it’s lived. From the gym floor to everyday life, Seoul’s CrossFit community reflects a deep-rooted Korean value: show up prepared, work hard, and respect the process. With heritage held in high regard and a CrossFit scene that’s growing fast, Kim shows us why Korea’s fitness culture is thriving and why the future of CrossFit in Seoul is just getting started. — CrossFit is the world’s leading platform for improving health and performance. In the 20 years since its founding, CrossFit has grown from a garage gym in Santa Cruz, California, into the world’s most effective program for improving health and performance through nutrition and exercise. CrossFit is the world’s leading provider of accredited performance-based training courses and certifications and has more than 125,000 credentialed coaches across the world. The program can be modified to welcome people of all ages and abilities and millions of people have already experienced CrossFit’s transformational benefits in more than 13,000 affiliated gyms across 158 countries. CrossFit also directs the CrossFit Games season, beginning with the annual CrossFit Open, through which athletes at every level compete worldwide, and culminating in the CrossFit Games, where top athletes compete for the title of Fittest on Earth®.
