Do you CROSSFIT? Share your thoughts.

[healthpellets]

I'm looking to join a CrossFit box in Johnson County.

If you CrossFit, would you care to share your experience with any of the local boxes?

Thoughts on coaching, style, class size, or availability would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have a couple friends currently in it. They love it very much.

I hate it because I always have to hear about their daily burpees or thrusters.

JFC I know, it gets old.

Do your crossfit, get in great shape I get it. Shut up about it.

But how will you know what I did today?

It's a running joke at my office. I don't talk about it much here because most of the people don't work out AT ALL. They all tell me about their annoying friends who do talk about it, though. This conversation happens a lot:

Me: Holy shit! I am so sore.

Someone else: Fine. I'll bite. Tell me about your stupid workout.

That's usually as far as it goes. I rarely actually tell them about the workouts. Fatties hate hearing about workouts. My guess is that it makes them feel shitty about themselves... and that makes them eat... and that makes them fat... and that makes them gross.

The personality type of many crossfitters is the same as many vegans, paleo dieters, and (to a lesser extent) triathlon competitors, in that they seem to crave attention for their participation in that sport/movement.

It's like the old joke: How can you spot a vegan? You won't have to, because they'll tell you before you even want to know.

The same can be said for certain people who are really into anything. Attention whores aren't specific to Crossfit.

I know a guy who recently failed at completing an Iron Man competition who looks down his nose at anyone who doesn't do Iron Man Competitions. I don't assume that they are all like him... but they probably are.

One of my wife's co-workers and his wife help run a local crossfit here. They seem to love it.

I ran a 4.18 the other day at Crossfit. Then I threw a truck tire 30 yards.

All the lingo is what annoys me about it. Why do people have to make up their own nomenclature when there are already perfectly good words available for use?

Does crossfit box = crossfit gym?

Yes.

WOD = Workout of the Day

It's an important step in establishing a cult.

i already knew that, i was just being snarky. one of my very good friends owns/runs the "box" out here in lee's summit. he's been trying to get me to come in for a "wod" for months.
