No one here Crossfits?

I have been doing Crossfit for 2 months now. My strength has increase rapidly. I feel great being able to power clean and snatch heavy now. I[..]ume BX people don't do it because of the prices per gym. ($150-170 monthly) I barley know the minorities that go to this gym. You endurance vastly improves. Went to La fitness to work out last week. Went ham didn't even realize I was in their for almost 2 hours.

not a fan but only because there's a lot of crossfit trainers that don't emphasize form or common sense to their amateur clients. on the other hand i've met crossfitters that actually know the right way to train to avoid injury.


also i think kipping pullups are silly and the paleo diet is a sham.

I think crossfit is dangerous for 80% of the population. I have never gone to a crossfit gym, however when I see clips online I am not impressed. Olympic lifts are form 1st, poundage second. They can take years to develop almost perfect from. I see to many Crossfitters doing Olympic lifts with terrible form and doing them at speed for high reps. This is a a setup for injury.
I know old heads that have been lifting traditionally for 20 plus years and they are in great shape.
I want to see if someone can do Crossfit for ten years and survive. I guess only time will tell.

Crossfit = circuit training with poor form. no thanks. plus, everyone I talk to that does crossfit acts like such an elitist when it comes to training. huge put-off for me, can't stand being around negative people like that

Im guessing u live in broward. I just started going to one in hallandale about a week ago. Which 1 do u go to and how do you like it?

My thing is that it's cool if you are training for a sport or something but as far as just getting fit and looking good its a bit of overkill imo.

Also if you look at the people running it, usually they aren't what I am shooting to look like, and if they are they had been or are doing heavy weight training for years before doing crossfit.

I do like the muscle ups and things like that though and am trying to add things like that into my workouts now.
