巴克撕開箱 BAKESI UNBOXED EP1. w/ Sherry

Are you like Sherry, a 9-to-5 office worker just looking for a place to blow off steam after work? Drinking, binge-watching, or CrossFit?

Breaking the Myths Most people’s first impression of CrossFit is probably that everyone has to be flying through the air, or that you’re expected to lift as heavy as an Olympic gold medalist like Kuo Hsing-chun.

Sherry shared her real observations at Bakesi: the curriculum here is cyclical. From building a foundation in the first week to testing in the final week, the scientific and systematic training makes progress tangible. If you are willing to show up consistently, your body's data and performance will give you honest feedback.

As Sherry puts it: If you keep showing up, you will definitely see the changes in your results.

The Sense of Achievement from CrossFit From struggling just to hang on the pull-up bar at the beginning, to now being able to string together several Toes-to-Bars; from being terrified of handstands and unable to even kick up, to now confidently supporting her own body. When you unlock a movement you once thought was impossible, that sense of accomplishment and joy lasts much longer than any material pleasure.

Strengthening Both Body and Mind I feel like my mental toughness has become much stronger—this is Sherry’s deepest realization. CrossFit training often comes with challenges. You might feel like you can't do it or that it’s impossible, but as long as you use the right methods and invest the time, you will find that the feedback from your body is real.

After-Work Bliss For office workers like Sherry, the most charming thing about Bakesi might be that it is a completely independent other-world. Once you step inside, for that one hour, all you have to do is focus on the training in front of you. It’s a wonderful transition. When you focus on your breathing and movements, all those other bullshit worries are thrown out the window. Plus, there’s the community magic here—they will help you load plates when you are exhausted and cheer loudly when you want to give up.

You will find yourself progressing surprisingly fast because there is a crowd of people pushing you forward.

For Those Still on the Fence At Bakesi, every movement can be adjusted. If the weight is too heavy, it can be lightened; if you can’t do a movement, it can be scaled. You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start for change to happen. Just be like Sherry was at the beginning—bring your curiosity and walk down to the basement.

Here, you will meet a stronger version of yourself.

你是否也跟 Sherry 一樣，是一位朝九晚五的上班族，下班後只是想找個地方釋放壓力？
喝酒、追劇還是 CrossFit？

打破迷思

很多人對 CrossFit 的第一印象大概都會是，人都要會飛來飛去？跟舉得跟郭婞淳一樣重才是應該的？

Sherry 分享了她在巴克斯的真實觀察：這裡的課程是有週期性的。從第一週的基礎建立，到最後一週的測試，科學且系統化的訓練讓進步變得具體可見。你願意規律出席，身體的數據與表現一定會誠實地回饋給你。

「如果你都有來，你一定會看到成績的變化。」

CrossFit 帶來的成就感

從一開始吊在單槓上感到吃力，到現在能連續完成好幾下的 Toes-to-Bar (腳趾觸槓)；從對倒立充滿恐懼、翻都翻不過去，到現在能自信地支撐起身體。當解鎖了某個原本以為做不到的動作時，那種成就感與快樂，比起很多物質上帶來的快樂都來得更長久。

強身也健心

「我覺得心理素質變得很強大」這是 Sherry 最深刻的體悟。

CrossFit 的訓練往往伴隨著挑戰，你可能覺得你沒辦法、你做不到，但只要用對方法並投資時間，你會發現身體給予的回饋是真實的。

下班後的「無憂無慮」

對於像 Sherry 這樣的上班族來說，巴克斯最迷人的地方，或許在於它是一個獨立完全的「異空間」。

你只要踏入這裡，在這一個小時你只要專注在眼前的訓練就好，這是一種奇妙的轉換。當專注於呼吸與動作時，其他的狗屁煩惱通通拋到腦後。加上這裡的社群魔力，他們會在你力竭時幫你加槓片、在你想要放棄時大聲幫你加油。

「你會莫名其妙地進步很快，因為有一群人推著你前進。」

給還在觀望的你

在巴克斯，所有的動作都可以調整。重量太重可以減輕，動作不會可以做降階。你不需要很厲害才能開始，但要開始才有可能發生改變。只需要像當初的 Sherry 一樣，帶著一顆好奇的心走下來地下室。

在這裡，你會遇見更強大的自己。
