I used to post here a lot using a slightly different name. Same initials (PM me if you want to know and can't figure it out).
I've been thinking about doing Cross Fit. My training and gym memberships are both running out and from time to time, I hear people talk about Cross Fit and they seem to love it. The embarrassing thing is I can't seem to really find any information on what it is. It sounds similar to the group workouts the trainers at my gym run (not the Les Mills stuff, but the classes the trainers design that have more strength and metabolic type stuff), but I can find surprisingly little information on the specifics.
If you have been a part of a Cross Fit gym, what is it like? Do they also have things like treadmills if you go when a class isn't in session? Do you need a trainer? That would factor into my decision as joining Cross Fit without a trainer costs just as much as my gym membership WITH trainer.
Maybe I just need to go in and talk to someone, but I am notorious for making impulsive decisions based on a great sales presentation. I want to try to get some facts and hear about others' experiences first.
