A lot of CrossFit people go to my gym. And say what you want but they are friendliest people in there.

If I see you in the gym five to six days a week, I'm going to talk to you. That's just how I am. And geez what a tough crowd. Some dudes are pretty cool but most of them are like dude get the frick away from me.

Not the CrossFit people. They are always kind and don't mind shooting the shite between sets. They have a great culture of camaraderie and I envy it.

If memberships weren't so expensive I think I'd join.

What gym you go to? Why not just pick up the programming and do it on your own at your gym?

I go to The Club24 in Flowood, MS.

I guess I could do that and watch instructions videos on YouTube, but lots of that stuff are things I'm not familiar with so idk if I should.

Right on. Yea the club may not appreciate someone doing snatches or oly lifting in there lol. The metro crossfit gyms demand a little more monthly dues.. ours here in Grenada is $75/mo and only $25 extra for any added household member.

Just do weightlifting and I'm sure you'll do better than them at their lifts.

I got invited to the Reservoir CrossFit next week and I think I'm going to go.

He told me they do a lot of the stuff I like so I'm interested to see what it's all about.

If you were around here I'd tell you to come on a Friday. We do "Bring a friend Friday" for people that want to come try it out. I know other boxes do this as well.

That's awesome. I admit it's my biggest draw to CrossFit. I moved here about seven years ago and I really haven't made a lot of friends. I know it sounds lame but with two kids and I am not a big drinker going to the gym is my only way of socializing.

Sure did! I had ankle and wrist mobility problems. I got it down now. Got three fingers on the bar. Going to work to get more.

Same here bro. Now I have a home gym so I'm a hermit.

I dunno if you think I'm thinking about general lifting weights or actual Olympic weightlifting. I'm talking Olympic weightlifting.

Don't venture off of the coast much for soccer, but this should be fun.
