I just started crossfit several weeks ago.
Recently there was a Groupon for 2 months worth of crossfit,and my friends talked me into buying it.
I completed the on ramp program and am currently in my 2nd month of training.
I have already signed up for another 14 months .
It is a big investment, but one that is worth it in the long run, I believe.
I feel very comfortable with the trainers at this box.
Over the last 6 or so weeks I have come to love working out, which has never ever been the case.
I still have trouble understanding the crossfit lingo, and I am in no way capable of doing most of the moves or WODs, but I am working hard on getting to that point0 -
Threads about Crossfit are always good for a laugh

Ah, CrossFit...where you too can pay 200$/month to feel superior while training to be mediocre.0

I'm missing out! I don't see those things happening at our gym (well the top one yes)... crack me up!
What the heck is the second guy doing? You could get hurt doing that!0 -

You go girl... to be able to crossfit at home and stay motivated... is great!
WOW! Our gym charges $25 a week. The community alone is worth that. I guess there are good and bad boxes. We're lucky we have awesome people at ours.0 -

mediocre? hmmm?0 -
I ♥ CrossFit! I'm at the the box 5 to 6 times a week. I've gone from back squatting 55# to setting a gym recorded 235# in a month's time. I JUST HATE BURPEES!!!0

I used to Crossfit but I think I agree with a lot of the criticism. I think there are better ways to train and the methods are prone to injury. I mean I will say I didn't think it was always bad, I loved the first 8 months of it but certain methods I didn't agree with and started to bother me towards the end.0

I cherry pic WODs here and there. The gym is too much $ near me, all though I would almost go just for the olympic lifts instructor thats there every week. Most of the stuff I can do at home. There is definitely some great workouts there.
Did you mean 100 DU for a warm up? Thats some serious roping0 -
No lift should be performed under a time limit
No lift that your are not proficient in should be done in a WOD or done using "heavy" weight.
No gym should cost $100+
Pull ups should be strict.
Periodization and planning is actually a good thing.
No advanced lifts should be taught to people who haven't mastered the big 3 first.
Just my 2¢0 -

mediocre? hmmm?
Yes mediocre. Ever heard of the saying "fail to plan; plan to fail" Well one of CrossFits main points is there is no Periodization, "specialization if for the insects"... no plan just to do the WOD each day and, I don't remember exactly what Glassman said but, soon have something along the lines of a 4 minute mile and a 700 pound deadlift. (which no one has achieved)
If you are using Periodization you aren't doing cross fit.0 -

Haters gana hate
How many times have you seen a big dude lifting with bad form, probably pretty often. Thats on him, I dont get mad a weightlifting as a whole cause some people do it wrong.
Same is true with any workout routine, you need to know yourself and what you are capable of doing. If your not proficient with back squats, you should know better than to try to lift it heavy. That comes down to the person and if they choose to sacrifice form its on them.
Comparing strict pull ups to kipping pull ups is apple to oranges. You wouldnt compare a strict over head press to a push press cause they are two different things.
Periodization and planning is actually a good thing. I agree with that. That is the only downfall with crossfit as a program. Thats not to say people wont improve. I see crossfit WODs as a great supplemental workout. But to that there are different variations of crossfit out there to suite different needs.
One persons fitness goals is different than the other. Something is better than nothing. And if that something is pushing yourself only in crossfit wods every week, you will still be better off the the person who sits on their *kitten* all day eating bon bons watching opera0 -

This bothered me a lot when I checked out crossfit...there was no structure, you might work the same muscle groups multiples days in a row, and the trainers in the 4 boxes I saw either promoted or ignored bad form. It was a total recipe for injury. I think CrossFit is ok for people who just want to get in better shape, if they can afford it, and if they find a box that has qualified trainers that don't promote unsafe lifting (or cram the paleo diet down your throat). However, if you are training for anything specific, spend your money on a qualified coach or trainer instead.0 -

No one has mentioned bad form, though since you brought it up. Walk into a normal gym and you'll see bad form yes, but you won't likely see a coach/PT either. Walk into a crossfit and you'll see bad form and a coach with-in 10 feet. I'm not saying all crossfitters have bad form, but since every box i've been to has a coach present he/she should be correcting that.How many times have you seen a big dude lifting with bad form, probably pretty often.

True, but if you are going to say "do 10 pull-ups" they need to be strict. If you want kips say "do 10 kips"Comparing strict pull ups to kipping pull ups is apple to oranges. You wouldnt compare a strict over head press to a push press cause they are two different things.
I'm glad we agreePeriodization and planning is actually a good thing. I agree with that. That is the only downfall with crossfit as a program. Thats not to say people wont improve.

True in this case its just elitist vs elitist. At least we are all picking things up and putting them down regardless if our backs are perfect or candy canes.One persons fitness goals is different than the other. Something is better than nothing.

Periodization I totalyy disagree with. I believe you should 'train' be ready for anything.
I think $100 a month for gym membership, having hands on trainers & nutritionists there at all times ready to help, teach & instruct is a pretty sweet deal. Especially when my trainer without planning can, Squat: 440, Deadlift: 550, Clean & Jerk: 315, Snatch: 250 and do 50 unbroken pull ups, kipping or not. Just sayin'
The best part of CrossFit is the community.0 -
Glassman blows a lot of hot air. You really do have to look at the athletes performance.0
