re: Friend wants me to join a crossfit gym, what do I need to know about it?

I do indeed, but having already had access to large gyms/a minimal crossfit setup, it didn't make sense.

I wanted to do it for the vibe/group atmosphere that seems to come along with it, but at that price and with what I already have available it made no sense.

Laughing reading all these posts.

Join for a month and see if you like it. The place I go is nothing like this, yes there are a couple of douchebag guys, but for the most part it's good.

If you have any Olympic lifting experience you should be smart enough to not over do it and hurt yourself, I would be the people on here who hurt themselves either didn't know what they were doing or tried to out lift someone else and got hurt.

I will say that when traveling I've dropped in at a couple other gyms and they've hit a lot of these stereotypes posted here.

Most of the gyms have a free drop in day too, go hit that a couple of times and see if you like it.

Edit to add, mine is 135 a month I think and I typical go 4 or 5 days a week. Have met some good people and generally really enjoy going.
