Amen to that. That goes for just about any exercise regimen. One of the big criticisms I've read about CF has been bad form, but that's sort of the pot calling the kettle black. No sport is immune to bad form.
With the folks we've dealt with so far, form and scalability is their primary focus...weight and intensity come later. That's a good sign!
Crossfit Complete...closest gym to the house.
I used to be into bodybuilding but the older I get the less I care about it. I know cross fit helps people be in great shape but it is too much work for me. By the time I get off work I am way too tired to do anything. I walk anywhere from 7-15 miles a day at work. That is plenty of exercise for me. Plus the older I get the harder it is to weight training.
Crossfitters crack me up....
Nothing more fun them showing them up at their own game!

We met Zach on Saturday...very grounded and very focused on making sure folks start slow and develop proper form. None of the inflated ego that usually comes with the weight lifting crowd. That was a huge factor after hearing a lot of the negative things about CF.
If your that good you should go to the Crossfit Games and smoke them all and win the big cash prize and sponsorships.
I think paying for expensive fitness classes is a waste of money.
You can have well balanced workouts in your backyard or at public parks for free.
If Cross fit claims that they don't need fancy machines, well then you don't need to pay to use their "box".
If can't push yourself to your personal limits on your own, or you lack the motivation to start a work out on your own, invite someone better than you along and learn from them.
Balance and form is key.
Look into bar brothers.org, then add running (sprints and long distance), swimming, jump rope, biking and your good to go (you may need to fork out some $ for this, but with the exception of swimming, you get to keep the equipment).
If you want to show off your fitness and compete, well your just a special person then...
I don't mean to rag on the cross fitters, I payed to go to gyms before. The thing is, I changed my mind about them (and the "awesome" guys/gals
that work there) and I think, when your ready, so will you.
EDIT:
Just my .02.... and I already know that I can be an a-hole
