WHAT DRIVES YOU TO GET OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING AND DO WHAT YOU DO?
SIMON “THOR” DAMBORG
OWNER/HEAD COACH @ RAINCITYATHLETICS.CA
For years of my life I strugged with a type of ‘manorexia’ or ‘bigorexia’; no matter how much I ate or trained, I never felt like I was big or strong enough. I spent 1-3 hours a day bodybuilding all in hopes of looking a certain way.
My mood played a bigger part in determining my satisfaction with how I felt when I looked in the mirror more than my actual aesthetics did. This caused me to yo-yo through extreme types of training and diets – all with the hopes of looking in the mirror and being happy with how I looked, but I never was.
It wasn’t until I discovered CrossFit and functional training that I began focusing on what I could do rather than how I looked. After less than 8 months of this new focus I had lost almost 40 pounds and was not only leaner and stronger, but I looked a lot better too.
Every client that walks in the door has a goal and 90% of these goals are based on aesthetics. They want to look a certain way, get rid of their love handles, not get bulky, lean out, etc. Goals are a great thing to have but if you focus on aesthetics you will never be satisfied.
My goal and the reason I love what I do is because we’re showing people that it’s not about what you look like, but what you can do. We build our clients up so that no matter how they look, when they look in the mirror they see a badass that can do things they never imagined they’d be able to…
When you look at yourself this way, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied with how you look too.
