In "Your Next Five Moves", Patrick Bet-David writes, “Nobody really gets caught up in these distractions. They choose them to escape reality and avoid the difficult work of self-inquiry.”
That hits hard. Because if we’re honest, most of us know what those distractions look like—scrolling social media, watching another game, bingeing shows, or numbing ourselves with busyness. They’re easier than sitting down and asking the tougher questions:
- Am I living with purpose?
- Am I moving toward who I want to become?
- Am I taking care of my body so I can take care of others?
At CrossFit Viroqua, we see this play out every day. People walk through our doors not just because they want to sweat, but because they’re ready to stop escaping and start confronting the truth: their health matters, their time matters, and their purpose matters.
Why Fitness Exposes the Truth
When you pick up a barbell, run a 400m, or push through a tough workout, there’s no hiding. Your body tells the truth about how you’ve been living. And that truth can be uncomfortable—but it’s also freeing. Because once you stop escaping, you start building.
- Instead of scrolling, you show up for class.
- Instead of numbing stress, you release it through movement.
- Instead of avoiding questions, you create clarity with every rep and every breath.
Choosing Self-Inquiry Over Escape
The work we do here isn’t just physical—it’s deeply personal. Every workout is an act of self-inquiry: Am I stronger than I was yesterday? Am I committed to the process? Am I living the kind of life I want my kids, grandkids, or community to see?
That’s why our community is so powerful. You’re not alone in asking those questions. You’re surrounded by others who are also refusing to settle for distraction and instead are pursuing growth, health, and purpose.
