Not bad, ours is $130/mo, but the second person in the family is only $80. It's def more than a standard gym but you're getting direct instruction from a trainer with every workout. I have never had results like this with anything I've done before. I've also gone to gyms on my own and did half-effort workouts and just never really knew what regimens to do. CrossFit is a whole body workout, very motivational since others are doing the workout with others, and supervised with trainers the whole time.

If you go to LA fitness and have two 30-minute training sessions a month with a trainer it's probably the same cost.

I wasn't aware of the direct instruction. I may have to go visit the Brownsburg Crossfit and check it out.

Today It was me and one other person, she happens to be younger, 5'1" and a former gymnast. Also a PA who works with me in the ER. She absolutely destroyed me and did nearly as much weight on the sumo high pulls. So the trainer was just working with me and her.

Workout portion was:

12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 reps of:
hand-release pushups (lift hands while stomach on ground between each)
sumo high pulls (I did 75#, she did 65#)
box jumps (we each used 20" height)

Took her 9:45, took me 14:10. Absolutely miserable but felt great to have finished. No way I would have done 70+ hard pushups today or pushed myself that hard. If I can just work in a few mile run several times a week I'll be GTG

I go to LAF and I'm familiar with their training/trainers. Its not really worth it for a non beginner. Its a money grab but novices will still learn some valuable stuff.

For anyone who knows what they're doing, LAF's are a great option. Excellent facilities and equipment plus a decent price.

One thing about Crossfit - sure its a great workout, but those people are uber motivated folks. Its got to be an excellent environment to push yourself.

to be fair, I am completely unmotivated. I need the people there to motivate me. Many days I don't want to go and don't want to exercise but I know if I show up I'll do it. That's what I get from crossfit that I don't from a normal gym. Just me though.

It would be nice to have motivation like that. My home gym is in the garage, which is also my wood shop. There have been a couple of times when I started my workout, I cut it short and start playing on my lathe.

Last night, I was all pumped to work out. But as soon as I grabbed my kettle bell to start my warmup, eh, I just didn't feel it anymore. So I spent the rest of the evening on the lathe.

I go to a gym. They offer "Extreme Fitness Class" Mon, Wed, Sat that is compared to the "Boot Camp" style classes. That has really helped my motivation. On the off days I still go to the gym but just do my own thing. Sometimes stuff we do in class, sometimes not. Just depends on my mood really.

It's Saturday! Couch potatoes take the day off (again). Those in BEASTMODE hit the gym! Just do 30 minutes on the treadmill. You'll be glad you did afterwards.

FINALLY got to get back in to the gym and get back to a regular attendance after all the goings on kept getting in the way. Felt great!

I'd like to get my washboard back, or at least some resemblance.

I didn't get to the cleans......ugh. My toes to bar are slow and for some unknown reason my double unders were horrible. Workout ended in 4 minutes. So I moved on to my lifting portion of my workout, it was 5x5 bench presses, then ended the workout with 10 kettlebell swing on the minute for 10 minutes at 124lbs. LOVE heavy KB swings.

A good CrossFit gym will have trainers like this. Especially if you are new.

There are days that all I want to do after getting off shift is to veg out in front of the TV, stressed out. My wife drags me to our CrossFit gym and I get my butt handed to me with the workout. I leave feeling refreshed, renewed, all the stress left me. It's my therapy.

Any of you guys do muscle ups?

I can't do it with the pull up bar setup I have.
I guess you need a gym with a high ceiling or do it outside in a park.

No, at 245lbs, I happen to like my shoulders. I let the lightweights do this.

Going out on the trike today for a 50 mile loop. This nice weather helped me get started early on my riding. Have lost 19 lbs since the first of the year. Only 51 more to go...
