Crossfit is expensive. $130 a month in Orlando for unlimited access.
EDIT: I just went through some of the crossfit locations near me. $200 a month for unlimited, $175 for unlimited at the other. Heck, they are more than $130 for 3xweek.
Sorry, but I'll stick with my $30 box gym.

You don't need crossfit, you're in pretty good shape and what you're doing is working for you. Eventually however you're going to hit a wall in your training and will be just doing maintenance. And if that's all you care about then by all means don't rock the boat. Eventually however if you yearn for something challenging you may consider it.

Don't get my wrong. I have wanted to join a crossfit gym for a long time, but I cannot swing the monthly payment yet. As soon as I can I will  I feel like I'm missing out on the fun!

I love the new wod, can't wait to try it. I am pretty good at the snatch, so I'll be happy if I can get more than 60 reps on this one.

Oh, also, I was wondering about what other people do for keeping track of workouts. I recall a while ago asking Wayne if he kept one, and he said he didn't but might possibly in the future. Have you started one Wayne?
We have been coached to keep really detailed journals of our workouts. It basically covers everything - warm up, workout, weights, reps, times, any scaling, anything that we want to remember for future workouts regarding a movement, PR's, and additinal comments that might include how I was feeling that day or something the coach said.
I find it extremely helpful and it's amazing to go back and look at some of the changes in my times, weights, etc.
Anyone else do this?

my gym doesn't follow main site WODs. we have probably 10-15 people from our gym who are active on the whiteboard. 99% of the time i login and someone has already entered the WOD for that day. if not, then I enter it. it's $3/month...

$3/month is a deal. kind of funny that people who do spend the $100-200/mo on the membership + 5 pairs of workouts shoes have a problem with that

it's an online database with a twist of social networking. it's more than just recording results. say I did Fran and got the same time, but I weigh 10lb more than I did last time. it will know this, and I'll find out that my power output actually went up 5%. i can also see that my time was in the 70th percentile, or in the 80th percentile for people "like me". so, stuff like that.

I don't really want to share the scare my gym just had due to one member playing a prank, but pretty much unless you're the naked crossfiter, beastmodal domain, and someone else. Don't fuck with HQ.

55 reps for me on 12.2. I was certain I'd get 60, but I'm not strong enough to power snatch 135 so I had to do full squat with them. Doing that first 30 reps with 75 really gasses you!
