    One of the women that teaches boot camp at my gym does crossfit. She said they have adult diapers in the locker room, just in case...

    Before I was unemployed I did CrossFit.
    I was given the Insanity DVDs, so I do that now (currently on week 6 of my first round) -- but as soon as I am working again, I plan on jumping headfirst back into CrossFit. It is unlike any other workout! I love the incorporation of heavy lifts (I don't own weights or I'd still be doing those), as well as kettlebell and medicine ball exercises. Also, the box (aka gym) I visited was very small, and I typically had one-on-one training for a ridiculously low fee. Can't beat it. Highly recommended as far as I'm concerned.

    Also, that ^^someecard^^ is right -- I probably talked off more ears than I can recall when I was doing CrossFit. You can't help it; there are so many quick & miraculous changes in your body that it's hard to even keep up with them!

    I take a class that I'm told by many is the equivalent to crossfit. I'm actually thinking of moving and will no longer have access to it and I'm honestly stressed about losing it! I'm going to try a crossfit class next week and I'm so excited!!! I know for me, I cannot stop telling people about my class so if crossfit is anything like it I'm sure I'll be just as addicted. I've done it all. Dancer, gym rat, yoga fanatic, diet, diet, diet. I'm 38 and stable with it all for the first time in my life. I love it!

    High rep olympic lifts for reps with time sounds like a recipe for injuries to me

    As in any class, you hope for good instructors that pay attention to individuals. But, yeah, if not, major issues...

    I have been doing crossfit for 3 months now and love it. The workouts can be killers but it is very addictive we have a great trainer that stresses form over speed and really pushes us. I am down 50 pounds and have lost 5 inches in my mid section. Feeling better than I have for years.
