I'm either going to find a new box or quit...

I don't really want to quit but I feel I need to find a new box. Everything about my box is great except it doesn't feel like "home." We have a great community and coaches and I love the WODs, I just can't put my finger on it. I've been going there since March so I've given it plenty of time. I'm looking for that feeling you get when you just know something clicks. Should I just try different boxes until I find The One?

    Yes, try different ones until you find the one that clicks. I visited 2 before I signed up. One place felt very much like home and the other seemed like a typical gym full of jocks that had no time for the newbie. I joined the one I was comfortable in and haven't looked back. Good luck!

    Don't quit. If you're not 100% happy where you're at, you're more likely to not be successful. Have you tried going to different class times to see if it's the attendees you're not clicking with? I've had that happen before at a gym where I didn't click with the participants in one class but another class (same instructor, same programming) we were like long lost BFFs. Definitely visit other boxes, even if it's just to observe, and you may find you like the other ones less than the one you're at. Good luck and don't give up!

    Hopefully you have a few choices locally. Go do a walk-in workout or two.

    I got lucky, I found a great box right off the bat.
