Have you Attended Crossfit?

Have you ever tired Crossfit? There are a lot of blogs/articles online bashing the new wave of fitness. (Including one of my favorites.) At first I wondered if those articles were a little harsh. However, Saturday, upon my arrival, (my first ever Crossfit class) I quickly realized each point in that blog was hilariously right on! From the groupies in the corner discussing the coolest workout they did while stretching, to the too cool for school guys running sprints in the parking lot, it was all a little much.

If a fancy schmancy, clean, well-lit gym is what you enjoy, this place is not for you. However, if you are a hardcore, no fluff, no frills, (not even friendly customer service) type of person, and you like a killer workout, then this is your style, sign up today! (And when I say friendly customer service, I wasn't even greeted as a form to sign was shoved in my face. That way, I couldn't sue if I died during the workout.

By now, I'm sure you can tell I didn't have the best first experience. As for me, I’ll continue to get my hardcore workouts in at my neighborhood gym, where they are friendly and know my name.

Looking back on the class, it was a great workout (I attended the 101 beginner’s class and was a little bored at times during the class.) From doing box jumps, lunges from here to Frenchtown (exaggerating,) sprints, and a few partner drills, I got a fantastic workout. However, I won’t be spending my money to sign up.
