I’m starting to get bored with the gym and looking to do something different like crossfit. Anyone here on shiftwork and still find time for it? How many days a week do you go? I still plan on playing soccer maybe once a week.

im not on shift work but i average 60-70 hrs a week at work. i go to 5AM crossfit every morning and also train in the evening, normally accessory work for my weaknesses in crossfit (but i am training for a half iron man in the evenings currently). granted im up at 4:30 and asleep by 9 or 9:30 every night and i have no life during the week. i also don't have kids so that helps some. my wife is an ER Dr. and her schedule is all over the place w/ no set times or shifts. its completely random every month consisting of day, evening, and night shift. only one weekend off. She also goes at least 5-6 times a week. it's all about what you are willing to commit to and do you have the discipline to stick to that plan. best of luck to you. but yes, it's very easily doable.

hahaha. i got off the bottle some years ago cold turkey and stopped completely for 3 years or so. I started crossfit right afterwards. so it became my therapy. you know what they say about idle hands and all... ill drink every once in a while now. it just took some extreme measures for me to get to where i could do that.

What if you travel for work?

Is there a CF membership plan accepted at CF gyms?

I am sure I can google it but figured I would ask here for an experienced answer.

Unfortunately you are going to have to buy punch cards ($10-$12 per class) Which will be ok if you travel to the same places a good bit. Beats the hell out of drop in fees though ($20 and a t shirt)
