I imagine if his wife was a tennis coach and he practiced tennis every morning, he would have brought up tennis specifically... Crossfit is a workout regiment anyway, not really a sport.

How can you tell when someone does Crossfit?

Don't worry, they'll tell you.

Flight attendant: this man is having a heart attack! Is there a doctor on the plane?

Passenger: I do CrossFit.

Flight attendant: He might be dying!

Passenger 2: I’m a vegan.

Can anyone explain? I don't get it.

It is a play on the observed phenomenon that many who are either vegan or into CrossFit bring it up all the time, even when it does not directly relate to the situation at hand. For example, my post above. The style of my workout routine doesn't add much to the context of long commutes.

Thanks. I thought there was a specific relation to people in medical emergencies ("heart attack", "might be dying"), but those words were just there for emphasis.

Haha. Yeah, I could have left it off for saying I work out. I felt it was relevant for context on my wife's coaching.

My whole family (except me) does Crossfit. They even compete, and one of my brothers is a coach too. They even do paleo. I'm used to it.

Because CrossFit is not a sport, it’s a religion

Religion? Or just 1/3 of a pull up?

(I fully expect to be crucified for this)
