Yes, people can get hurt. Yes, there are trainers out there that shouldn't be. Yes, not every box is for everyone. This isn't any different than any other type of gym, etc. Heck, even the horse industry sounds similar. So do your research and make sure it is a good fit for you.
My coach will instill proper form before he'll let you add much weight. Once you have proper form and are doing the regulard WOD's, he won't let you use more weight than what you are capable of doing efficiently. As far as picking a box that is right for you, some places only want those athletes who are hardcore and are training for comps, etc. Whereas myself, I just go because I enjoy this type of workout. A year later, I am still scaling WOD's and there are a lot of movements that I still can't do. But I haven't found any other form of fitness that I like as much as this! Give it a try and see how you like it.
every word of that is so stereotypically CF that it's humorous I think he or she just likes to "stir the pot" for fitness. Just a guess from seeing their pasts posts. Probably why they aren't "where they wanna be" 
where do you think I "wanna" be?

| I do something similar to crossfit but not to that extreme. I would encourage you to pursue something.....for me this type of strength format with a coach is what I need. I've been going for almost three years and am hooked. I don't feel as motivated as I have in the past........I originally started going because I couldn't keep up with my horse. Unfortunately he's been turned out for injury for a couple years. It can be very addicting though if you commit to it. I love all the highs that come from it. Also- as far as expensive goes- the place I go is a little spendy but if you think about it- it's like a health insurance plan (assuming you don't injure yourself) you are strengthening your body and preventing future health problems. Plus the more you go the "cheaper' it gets. | |

Well ante up-what kind of "real" sports do you do? My daughter who is very into Crossfit also had a college sports ride along with academic ride. After she really got out of shape and had no motivation and this helped her get not just in shape but way better shape than she has ever been. Part of the appeal to a lot of people is the group setting. Why you want to knock something that has helped a ton of people get back into shape is beyond me. Yes people get hurt but that happens in just everyday living. | |

Location: Northwest Florida | I LOVED it. Haven't been active in it in a couple years but it is definitely my plan to get toned back up after my daughter is born.
My trainer was level 1 certified, olympic lifting, mobility and endurance, and yes I did an on-ramp. It was a requirement for membership.
On a side note - 1DSoon, your posts always seem so miserable.  | |
