Sometimes I think the best thing we can do to "introduce" others to CrossFit is to head into the base gym and do the WODs in our CF t-shirts. While 99% are looking at us like we've lost our minds, 1% is thinking, "Whoa, that's what I need to be doing!" Wearing the shirt eliminates the need for the shy or embarrassed to approach us and gives them the means to do a bit of research on their own.
With that said...remember, when you're wearing your CF shirt in the gym, you are an ambassador to "the cause" (sorry for the cult reference...LOL). Acting out or not doing the movements/WODs properly does nothing but give the naysayers more ammunition.
