CrossFit Ready 2 Live — Local services in St. Louis

My experience with Crossfit has been fantastic. The coaches are warm, welcoming, and encouraging. They don't let you slack off and push each person to their personal best. Same for my fellow participants (athletes, in cf lingo), who represent a wide range of ages, body types, and fitness levels. I’d lifted minimally in the past so I appreciate learning the variety of functional weight training moves, where we use weights as well as balls, kettlebells, and our bodies. The high intensity, timed work outs have helped me out in other areas of my fitness, training me to keep pushing when I get tired on a jog or bike ride.

My previous perceptions of Crossfit was that it was only for folks who wanted to follow a paleo diet and were hypercompetitive. As a previous vegan and never a group sports type person, I didn't really think Crossfit would be for me. But, I've been pleasantly surprised. Paleo gets minimal attention and the nutrition info presented was balanced. As far as the competitiveness goes, I think it's the kind of environment where someone who is independent or group minded can flourish; you can compare your progress to your own PRs and/or check out how others are performing since our performance is posted on a white board each class.
