    this is getting me excited to join. I have some more plans though, want to do p90x at least once more, finish aslyum 2 and do it at least once more. also trying my best to save as much as possible so the money is an issue for me no matter how you slice it.

    what about competing? do the boxes participate in such things? depends on the box? do you have to be a member of a box to compete?


    and for those that do crossfit, do you do any other workouts outside of crossfit? i mean like regularly.

    I am still new, but joined during the Crossfit open. Anyone can compete. The workout is posted online and you have two options - go to a box and have someone judge you. I'm not sure how that works if you are not a member, I didn't ask. I assume they would charge you or something. The second option is to videotape yourself doing the work out (they post specific instructions on how to video and what must be seen, i.e. loading the weights, what angle, etc) and submit it. My box did compete in the open, don't think anyone made regionals but we had a couple who were close.
    As for local competitions, I don't know how they work. I haven't seen one yet.

    I run as well. I also intend on biking once the weather warms up and getting back into swimming. I've been training for a half marathon while doing crossfit.

    Ah, another Charlottean! Howdy, Miss! Anyways, I wanted to try CF, but, yeah price and the fact I don't think I am in basic, minimum shape for it. So, I'm sticking with the Beachbody stuff. Maybe sometime next year, I'll try the CF WOD.

    Still...

    CrossFit Charlotte, CrossFit NoDa, CrossFit Metro, CrossFit South, CrossFit Southend, CrossFit Eternal, CrossFit Dilworth, CrossFit S3, CrossFit Ballantyne, Ultimate CrossFit, and CrossFit Steele Creek, seem to have some serious followings. I mean, you don't have that many locations, and no one not show up, right?

    Its so hard for me to find a box in the university area. I seen one called crossfit704, but I don't know anyone who has been there so I'm nervous to try it. Do you know of any in the University area?

    Have you checked out this map?
