I started CF about two months ago. I am in my last semester of grad school (and am not super regular about going) so I am not yet seeing huge results but I know once I have more time and am able to commit more fully to CF that I will see results a lot faster. So far I really like CF, it is really challenging both mentally and physically, it is different than anything else I have done!0

That was a big problem when CF first started. Too many people who are clueless opened CF gyms. Doing wild exercises with no form. People got hurt.
Even today there are a number of CF workouts that have some questionable moves in them. Find a very reputable gym that does CF. Give it a try. I used CF type workouts outdoors and obstacle work to prep for an OCR. It was fun and different from my other workouts. I was burning about 1,000 cals/hour doing the outdoor stuff. That's more than any workout I do. CF boasts that it has functional fitness over other programs. I see it but it's not the only way to get functional fitness.0 -

I started way below average in the strength category - not sure why. I have worked my way up. I still feel way behind in strength, but have made huge improvements. My endurance is through the roof though, so at least I have that going for me.
I have lost body fat and my muscles look much more defined. I'm eating at a small calorie deficit and aim for at least 25% of calories from protein. I look like I should be good at CrossFit and very strong, but I'm not there yet. Somehow I got the body first and the strength is coming along slowly. I attribute this to having my nutrition in check with MFP.
I'm in the best shape I've been in since I was a teen. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm 43, and it will take time to get where I want to be. I work out with many people who are much younger than me. I forget my age, but I guess that's a good thing.0 -

I've never been part of a cult either, but I have no interest in trying it.0 -

I started Cross Fit about 6 months ago. I had historically done a lot of running/elliptical and it just wasn't getting me the results. I have to do a lot of modifications, but love my Box and the coaches. My results have been slow, but steady. I'm a bit older than most at my gym, but don't compare myself to them, just keep plugging along and feel I am stronger. Will send you a friend request. Anyone else please feel free to friend me.0

That was precisely my point. I think people should try a lot of different ways of working out. You never know what you might like. Keeping a closed mind about trying any form of exercise whether it's crossfit, yoga or prancercize is what I'd hope people avoid.0
