T-Shirt Slogan Contest
Alright, it’s about time we get some CrossFit Winnipeg T-shirts made. The question is: what do we put on them? Since I’m not the creative type, I’m going to let you guys do the work. Here are a few to get you started. Please let us know if you like any of these and post any new ideas you might have. If you come up with the winning slogan, you get a free t-shirt.
Some ideas from other affiliates and the CrossFit message boards:
Be alive. Be very alive. - Mark Rippetoe
Strong people are harder to kill than weak people, and more useful in general. - Mark Rippetoe
My Workout Can Beat Up Your Workout
If you ask me what I am doing one more time . . . I am going to make you do it with me.
No, you can’t work in. I’m doing this for time.
I’d rather be stronger than I look

Work like you don’t need money,
Love like you’ve never been hurt,
dance like no one’s watching,
and workout until you puke.
Or, if you want to go with something a little classier, here are some quotes and proverbs. Some are a little long, but we can edit as needed.
Whatever you do, do with all your might. – Cicero
No rest is worth anything except the rest that is earned. -Jean Paul
Willing is not enough; we must do. – Goethe
Specialization is for insects. - Although a CrossFit saying, it is from sci-fi author Robert A. Heinlein. Heinlein also coined the term TANSTAAFL (there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch)
There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength. Once the mind and body have been awakened to their true potential, its impossible to turn back. - Henry Rollins
Nothing will work unless you do.- John Wooden
It’s the same each time with progress. First they ignore you, then they say you’re mad, then dangerous, then there’s a pause and then you can’t find anyone who disagrees with you.—Tony Benn
Obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated. – Unknown
Today I will do the things that other people won’t, so tomorrow I can do the things that other people can’t. – Unknown
From the pain comes the dream. – Peter Gabriel
I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour, each day, everyday, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing, and the action which follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success. I will act now for now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person. – Og Mandino
Only the weak attempts to accomplish what he knows he can already achieve. - Stella Juarez
Don’t ask for a light load, but rather ask for a strong back.- Unknown
Facta, non verba
Deeds, not words

I like the “strong people are harder to kill…” although I wouldn’t wear that one just anywhere…
Perhaps there could be a couple of different ones to choose from.

How about that famous quote from Turbo?
“When your ass comes up, that bar had better come up with it.”
June 15, 2009 at 9:05 am
crossfitters do it better
June 15, 2009 at 9:44 am
Crossfitters do it for time
Crossfitters do it as many times as possible in 20 minutes

I like this one:
“Obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated”
I will try and be creative and think on my own…..well see how that goes
June 15, 2009 at 10:02 am
How about:
Once you got it up, keep it up!
June 15, 2009 at 10:05 am
I also like “Obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated”
@John N
If you like more than one slogan tell us, we’ll probably do a funny/cheeky one and a more serious one…
June 15, 2009 at 10:06 am
Oops, I posted under Derek’s user…
June 15, 2009 at 10:50 am
Irene posted a comment a few days ago “All gain from the pain” I thought would be good. Also I liked the slogan I saw somewhere that said, “NO, it doesn’t get any easier” I also like “If you ask me what I am doing one more time… I am going to make you do it with me”.

My students wear drinking slogans all the time, so that’s what inspired this…
I can’t draw but on the front would be a stick-figure type sketch of someone partying and puking, the caption says, “Your idea of a good time”. On the back is same styled sketch but of the gym and someone also puking, the caption says, “Our idea of a good time”. Not at all profound, but kinda funny.

Believe and you will achieve what you once thought was impossible !
CrossFit Winnipeg
OR SIMPLY…
Believe and you will achieve !!

I also like the cheeky ones…
Obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated
June 15, 2009 at 2:08 pm
I have a couple!
“Crossfit Fanatic… You can’t change my mind, and I won’t change the subject.” It’s a play on a Winston Churchill quote.
or..
“It is impossoble to win the race unless you venture to run, impossible to win the victory unless you dare to battle.”

@Erika
aw, thanks Wipeout! I didn’t notice I made a saying, but you know, it’s all true! I always come leaps and bounds when I’m healing after a workout (ie. crazy ab WOD last Wed.)
Definitely like Obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated
CrossFitters do it for time is another good one…
These are all great–we should have a series of shirts made, like a series of 5 or something! (of course within reason for the budget, but these are great!)

“If at first you don’t succeed do 20 Burpees!”

There’s no such thing as people who don’t love Crossfit, just people who haven’t tried it yet.
June 16, 2009 at 7:14 am
Try Crossfit, you’ll never look at another gym the same way again.
June 16, 2009 at 9:20 am
I know its been used, but my favorite thing to say even to myself between rounds,
Again; Faster!
and an Army one from a friend of mine, he was doing a Hero workout, and in between rounds during the run his RSM came over and stared talking to him, when RSM’s talk to you you stop come to attention and answer, till they are finished.
He just gasping responded, “I cant stop Sir, I’m doing Crossfit.”

you say jump
we say how high
