    I enjoy crossfit because i get chuckles out of all the crossfit idiots on my fb and ig who post all their dumb crossfit related stuff like WOD and doing 1,000 burpees. Oh and can't forget LOLPaleo. Funniest is when they randomly post question for tips on how to build lean mass lol

    $180/month to learn kipping pull ups seems silly to me.

    hahaha :tongue:

    Don't get me wrong, they are not all bad, and I applaud anyone trying to better themselves, no matter what it is, as long as they are doing it in a safe manner.

    I live in a small town without all the chain gyms you are probably accustomed to. My regular gym is $55 per month and my CF is $95 so I choose to pay $40 more per month for more personalized instruction. I go to both because I swim, but my regular gym can't compare to the service I get at my box. Fitness is pretty much my main hobby so I spend $$$ on yoga, hiking equipment, cross country skiing stuff, running shoes, swimming stuffs, pole fitness classes, gas to travel to an o-lifting gym 100 miles away, blah blah blah...and I do feel that out of all the fitness stuff I spend money on, I get the most bang for my buck out of CF.

    I don't know who isn't getting personalized instruction, but my coaches come around and talk to me during every WOD. They also stay after if I want to work on something and help me. They answer my texts, send my articles and videos, and reply to every stupid question I send them to their FB inbox.

    I don't do Crossfit, but it brought the barbell back. And that makes it fine by me.

    I may have made an over generalization, what I mean is that of the people I've personally talked to who are really against Crossfit are those that either tried it and it made them feel bad because they couldn't handle it or those that refuse to try it because they're scared. This has been my personal experience. I know powerlifters who would have a heart attack trying to to do a Crossfit work out and I know marathoners who struggle to lift a standard bar. Crossfit combines the best of both worlds and offers a foundation on which to build a fit body and lifestyle.
