Member 5256, 54 posts | They often have f**king awesome gyms but they won't let you use it unless it's for a PT session or you are a crossfit member. Does my head in that there's a gym practically behind my house with tyres and kegs and nice bars and all sorts of good stuff that isn't even been used most of the day. | ||

All CrossFit gyms I've been to have let me pay per session just to do WL. Stupid thread this! So your mates dislike people just because they do crossfit? | ||

Lost his pen, then found his pen. #phew Member 4899, 2956 posts | I think it hearks back to the old "Powerlifting vs Weightlifting vs Strongman vs Bodybuilding" conflict, when of course each group secretly coveted at least one thing the others had. As the "New Boy" Crossfit gets the flack off all the other groups! :-) There does seem to be some valid criticism of the exercise selection and format, but then of course no one is making you do anything stupid - and dodgy-looking protocols exist across all of the Iron Sports. Plus there's the money thing, but that seems to be largely a problem in the US - don't know enough about the UK scene to know if that applies here too. | ||

Maybe it varies by area. I've been told by more than one around here that they don't do casual sessions because it's 'unsafe' even though I'd be more than happy to prove a decent level of competence. I think what they are trying to say is they'd not be making as much money as they want out of me. Even visiting crossfitters get charger $25 where as every other gym that does casual entry is more $10. | ||

There's a guy lives near me who has an Aston Martin parked on his driveway. He hardly ever drives it, and worst still he won't let me use it.  | ||

I think if you want to actually do CrossFit in their gyms then you have to do those foundation sessions beforehand? To learn all the movements etc. I think that's the way it works.  | ||

This is true, however from my experience it's businessmen trying to coach people how to snatch, clean etc. and not weightlifting/S&C coaches. Hense why they all get injured, have such a s**t rep, look like total nobs when they lift. CrossFit is mega if it's done properly aka. Chris Froning. | ||

nothing to hide, please follow my life on webcam Member 255, 3732 posts | Part of the problem is the claims made for crossfit. For example I've seen crossfit being suggested as the best way for a natural bodybuilder, weightlifter and marathon runner to train | ||
