Is your local cross fit gym doing ok?

the local cross fit 'box' is now an Asian food market. Curious if this is a single event or part of a bigger trend.

I don't think ours is going anywhere... but I pray nightly.

Now everyone is going to have to constantly hear about how much Asian food those people are eating.

The one across from my studio seems to be going strong. Music blaring all day long and dudes grunting and cursing in the parking lot sledging tractor tires. I used to think us Freds were weird but the cross-fitters have us beat.

Do you know how to tell if someone is into cross fit ?





Don't worry, they'll tell you.

The one in the next town over from me is now a used car dealer.

Mine's empty. But I did see some dude dragging a really big tire in the local school parking lot. He's into it.

It's the person who's always walkin' around wounded.


Our Xfit 'gym' has moved around some. I'm not sure it's even in operation anymore. But as mentioned before in this thread, I'm hopin' it's gonna close officially.

There's a Title Boxing Club a few doors down from my regular Trader Joe's and I don't know how that place can afford the rent. I don't think I've ever seen it open, but it still occupies one of the primo spots in the strip-mall.

People typically in their 30's or 40's looking to get into shape and get off their @sses....buying into the culture as well as the exercise....sounds familiar Cyclist ripping on crossfitters...do it if it makes you feel better about yourself I guess.

Like anything in its fad phase....lots of em (Boxes) have gone up. The right ones stick around.

We can't make fun of stuff that's different than us?

Meh. The average rider here has been riding 3-4x longer than Crossfit has existed and is probably pretty modest in talking about it IRL. If Crossfit survives for a hundred years maybe people won't have to constantly talk about it to try and get respect. (As if any sport as an adult gets respect in the mainstream today when most people care more about how many TV shows you watch and where you get your daily fast food. )

Cycling culture is often over the top too, no argument there.

and I'd add that people can't crossfit their way to work, or to go get groceries, thus weaving this fitness activity into basic transportation needs.

Do any of you actually know what crossfit is and how it works?
