    I started reading the blog - not sure of the poster's history ... but I can't tell if he hates crossfit or loves it? Or just airs it all out there ... funny though.

    Haha, I read it once, and can't tell either. I was slightly offended, lol.

    Where are you going in Hawaii? I went to one on Maui and just paid a $20 drop-in fee. They were super nice :)

    Yeah I was kind of offended, but it was sort of truthful ... I check back every now and then because it entertains me. There's another one, his buddy, that has a blog; same tone but they both crossfit. They question the "eliteness" which I kind of like. Back up what you're going to preach.

    I'm going to Ewa Beach on Oahu - I checked out their website and they love outsiders (if you bring your box's shirt you can WOD for free), I just wouldn't want to feel awkward.

    My old box was BTB Fitness. And the owner guy was Charles Mayfield. He just wrote a Paleo cookbook with his wife!

    "Paleo Comfort Foods: Homestyle Cooking for a Gluten-Free Kitchen"

    COOLER to me is that his dad is the Mayfield in Mayfield Dairy. Scottie? I dont know. His dad did a WOD with us.


    Now I belong to Crossfit on the Square (in Marietta, GA). Its just closer. The owner also is really into Krav Maga. Smaller box. They both have their pros/cons.

    Christy Phillips was at our box today, maybe her husband or boyfriend too (not sure), said I was a huge fan ... and apparently a total dork. But yeah she made strict press, push press, and jerks look super easy.

    Bridger Crossfit... just started and I love it. I really like our coaches and the members are pretty awesome too. Such a good fitness community, I was definitely missing that before.

    I was also completely surprised that Bozeman (pop. 34,000) has 3 boxes, although 1 of them I don't think is an actual affiliate.

    Have to do some bragging this morning. I was coaching the 6am class and today we were doing one of the CrossFit Totals of Clean, OH Squat, and Jerk.

    One of my girls, April, had NEVER done a jerk before w/more than a pvc pipe in fundamentals. Threw up 85 lbs overhead this morning!!! 85 POUNDS!!!

    So proud of her. She came in this morning letting me know she had just been asked to be in a wedding and wanted to lose 10 lbs before the wedding. When she left...the goal is now 100 lbs overhead before the wedding. No doubt she'll have it sooner than she thinks!

    I'm pretty depressed because I don't have a box close by. I was at Crossfit Middle Tennessee for a while before the drive became too much. Was thinking about trying Crossfit Music City as they have a 7:00pm slot that may work.

    So, just trying to WOD at home as much as possible. I really miss the community aspect.

    I go to Crossfit Newton in MA (outside of Boston). I started at Crossfit Hi-Def Southern CA (LOVE them) and have tried cf Arise in Northern CA. I like all three. The social aspect is a little sad here on the East Coast from what I can tell. They are nice enough, but typically standoff-ish. I do like to go and try different places.

    Do it, I think most places are happy to have you if you know what you're doing and don't need babysitting. I send an email and they usually say come on by. Maybe try for one of the less busy times the first time you go in.

    Hey there Sbiscotti! How cool you are there! Small world. I got hooked on Crossfit in Cleveland at Crossfit Cleveland, was all set to try out Coca Crossfit, then we moved. I would LOVE to try out your gym. I am interested in Stacy's class. I really love the Oly lifts!

    I do have a Living Social Groupon thing for your box. I should just go already. Maybe tomorrow night at 7:00. I really wish I could make it out at 6:00am but we are too far.

    I'll plan on seeing you there tomorrow night! Stacey's the best. He's helped my lifts so much, and he's the coach of the competition team. His O-lift classes were actually why I picked CFMC over the other boxes in Nashville.
