I think it's an abomination and a fast track to injury. It's great that men and women are embracing olympic lifts, but crossfit takes it too far and throws form out the window to make it an espn saturday morning competition.

If your fitness goals are to have some lean muscle mass and nice toned body, crossfit would not be good. I think it's best suited as an extreme cardio and that's it.

I think image and health wise, nothing will replace traditional resistance training with an emphasis on proper form and nutrition. Working out is not supposed to be fun or a party. If you don't have the passion, motivation, or vision to be in the gym, then it's not for you.

On top of that, paying $100's+/month to be in a warehouse with a pallet of stacked boxes and some rope doesn't sound even click with me.

Sooooo I'm assuming you've never gotten inside a box (of any kind).


To the OP, give it a go! I love it and my husband recently drank the kool-aid too; it's become a 2nd family to us!

I've been at it for a couple of months now -I absolutely love it. Every workout is different and so challenging. It is totally scaleable to your fitness level. My box is very welcoming to beginners, and from what I've heard from others, that's the rule rather then the exception

Why should working out not be fun?

Don't knock till you try it.

I agree with you. Why should working out not be fun?
