Ditch 30 day shred for CrossFit?

I did the 30 day shred for about a month and then i got bored. I just started Crossfit and I love it! I did the free trial day and now im on-boarding for two weeks and then ill begin the unlimited. My only concern with it is the cost but that just makes me want to put more effort into it so im getting my monies worth. It all depends on the box you go to, Crossfit isnt a one size fits all or cookie cutter, they all seem to be different. Good luck with your decision!

I strongly considered crossfit but it's crazy expensive. Do you have a smartphone? Try out the You Are Your Own Gym app..it's like $3. It's bodyweight stuff you can do anywhere with just a few items (stool/chair/box/bench, towel & a door, really common stuff). I did 30 day shred but moved on from that quickly and no longer find it useful. I've been using the YAYOG app for 7 workouts so far and really like it...it's kind of like a personal trainer in a phone. They have 10 week programs (which I'm doing) at 4 levels, make your own workout (with tons of predefined exercises with videos) or you can choose a level and an amount of time and they'll build you a workout. It says on the screen how many reps to do and you hit the button after you do them, it counts down your rest and goes through the whole set with you. It has videos running the entire time to demonstrate.

ETA: Right now, I'm doing 4 workouts for 36min a week. If I'm running low on time, I skimp on the rest periods and can cut it down to about 15min but usually do the full 36 and just to extra reps if I'm moving at a good pace. I'm already seeing more definition in my arms/shoulders/back and my legs are killing me lol.

I did 30 day shred and like someone said before I got bored, this is why CrossFit is perfect for me. It is like I have exercise add and this is my cure, I never get bore, it is always challenging and while it is more expensive than others you get a more personalized program. I personally had to cut back and started building an at home "box" (crossfit for gym) and have been doing pretty good with that. I have been able to build most of my stuff and while I do not have access to everything I can still get a work out in. I do visit a coach once a month to tweak my forms and make sure I am not doing anything wrong so I can avoid injury. But you can totally crossfit at home.

I do highly recommend you visit different boxes before you join one, they all have different "personalities". The first box I joined just wasn't a good fit, the place where I get my one on one coaching is great though, I love it. If I go back to having a membership I will probably shop around a bit first.

Definitely check out deal sites if you decide to try CrossFit. The cost is the main reason I haven't done it but I saw a deal last night for 15 classes for $79 so I'm planning on giving it a shot. I probably won't stick with it because it's just so expensive but I'm sure I'll learn $80 worth in the 15 classes.

I vote yes
