    I actually think crossfit does some things very right.

    The yelling is annoying at the normal gym, but in a box it's there to encourage people and get them coming back. It's like workout solidarity.

    Also, it's one of the few places that teach Oly lifting standard, and every sport (including combat sports) benefits from that kind of explosive exercise.

    They also have you working strength and cardio, creating well rounded humans.

    Red gyms can take a lot from xfit tbh.

      I agree. My only real complaint are the kipping pull ups and that there isn't a ramping up period for anyone (at least in my exoeeice).

      WoDs tend to be largely the same if you haven't exercised in a decade or if youve been doing crossfit for years. Also, at least the boxes I've been to, haven't done a great job of teaching form to inexperienced lifters.

      However, like you said, the motivation and comradery as well as the well rounded programming is very very good.
