Crossfit

Post away about it. It's very effective and beneficial if the coaches are degree holders and experienced competitors.

Wish I could afford it. I would definitely give it a try.


Until then I guess I have to stick with my inexpensive power lifting gym and modified "crossfit" workouts at my buddy's house.

It's definitely more expensive than a membership at a typical gym but cheaper than hiring a personal trainer. I love the class atmosphere. It helps with the personal accountability.

You are exactly right. Many of the workouts can be done with relatively little equipment. The hardest workouts seem to be body weight workouts.

The problem I have with it is improper coaching

I agree. We are lucky to have a couple of really good ones. It is unfortunate that a short course and $1200 will get you a certificate to coach.

That's it? I would hope they would have made it more rigorous.

This is straight from their website. And it's $1,000 to $1,200 depending on when you register.


To receive a Level 1 Trainer Certificate, one must:

Be at least 18 years old at the time of the test.
Be in good standing with CrossFit Inc.
Attend the entire two-day course (approximately 9 a.m.-5 p.m. both days), to include:
100 percent exposure to all lectures.
100 percent participation in all practical break-out sessions.
100 percent participation in all workouts (all workouts can and will be scaled appropriately for individuals with special needs).
Pass the Level 1 test in person.
If you do not meet these requirements, you are issued a Certificate of Attendance.

That's why if I had at it I would want a guy who has a degree in ex phys. Someone that truly understands the energy systems and applies that to programming. Some one who has competed in oly lifts, someone who has competed in crossfit and made at least regionals. If I'm shelling out that kind of bread, it better be the best quality.

That's one of the main reasons I attend daily.

Same. And, I like competing against myself.
