I have been attending one for over a year at work. I work on a college campus, so there are various types of fitness levels, just like everyone else. I sometimes lead the classes if the instructors will be gone. We have 4 different classes and my class is usually around 5 people (which I love the small number) and can go as large as 30 (not for me). I like crossfit as it pushes you to push yourself against others. I am 46 and I can do more with my body than those half my age. I am amazed at the muscle tone I have started to build.
My recommendation to anyone is practice form over intensity. You do a lot of reps, and if your form isn't right, you will hurt yourself. This will be evident in your complex Olympic lifts. I also hate body weight movements, so I like the strength component added into my workouts. And yes, a good trainer will make all the difference in the world.
