I tried CrossFit with a friend and it kicked my ass. You go through a warm up, which is a workout by itself, right into the actual exercise. Combined, a warm up and the workout takes generally about 30 minutes and it’s non stop action. The cost for this “gym” is around $150/month and each affiliate/licensed gym posts their workouts of the day (WOD) on their website. Which begs the question: What is to stop anyone from going to the website and doing the workout at home or their regular gym and save $150 or so/month? Nothing. Most of the equipment used can be found at a regular gym or even your home since a lot of the exercises use your body as resistance. But for those of you that like to show off and compare your time on a whiteboard with others doing the same exercise go for it. It may boost your ego. Especially if you hit an insane time because you cheated on your exercises, but the trainer/timer doesn’t want to say anything because you pay them a lot of money. For the rest of us go to the websites, find the WOD’s and kick your ass. – http://www.crossfit.com/cf-affiliates/
