A funny story about this place....
My big, clumsy, awkward twin teenage boys joined mid-February. I could tell they didn't like it as much as CFMF (their old crossfit gym) where the coaches, just like most crossfit coaches, resemble drill sergeants. When it comes to big, clumsy, awkward teenage boys trying to get into shape, crossfit instructors are just right for the job. Which is why I don't mind spending nearly $300 a month for them to attend.
Anyway, I could see a little resistance/reluctance starting to build up in them. Now granted, they are teenage boys and don't get excited about anything but video games, food, sports and girls. So, just 2 and a half months into it, in an instance of acting out, one of the boys took a sports drink and didn't pay for it. Not that he didn't have money, he does have a part time job and not only that, but, the gym is great about charging the account for any drinks or supplements they have available. It was more of a personal disrespect of his coach and TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!
He took the drink and the coach watched him take it. That's right, he watched him take it. However, instead of asking the boy "are you going to pay cash for that or do you want to put it on your account?" This coach got into his car and drove straight to my house, knocked on my door and told on him. Now, all disparaging remarks aside, I really did appreciate that he notified me of my sons bad behavior. It helps me, as a parent, to see there is a heart problem that needs to be addressed. My son was wrong, and as most parents would do, I corrected him and the problem and my son ended up writing an apology and paying $5 for a $3 drink, as voluntary restitution.
As he stood there at the door and told me all about my sons grand larceny, I sincerely thanked him and assured him I would deal with my son. He then said, "they are not welcome to come back, their contract is terminated."
Now I'm not an amazing business man, by any means, but, I know that a teenager's $3 indiscretion is not a good reason to terminate a $3300/yr contract. I mean yes, he made a mistake, but, not an unforgivable mistake. There had to be more to the story, I replied "oh, okay....... why?" He said, "welllllllll, they are not very compliant." When asked to explain, he stated they didn't always fully participate and were sometimes disruptive during the class. I then asked "this is a CrossFit, right?"
So, these people are either fat-shamers or they don't like teenagers or are prejudice or maybe they just can't motivate people like drill sergeants, I don't know. Whatever the reason, they couldn't just be honest with me and had to wait for an opportunity to kick the boys out.
So, If you never complain about anything, don't need to be motivated by a personal trainer or a coach and are always super excited for a mildly tough workout, then these people will be great for you and they will be glad to take your money.
However, if you live in the real world, where you need to motivated by a Drill Instructor just to get out of bed and get dressed (like most teenage boys), then this Barbie gym is probably not for you. They really should take all references of "CrossFit" out of their name and gym, it's false advertising.
Anyway, I'm glad we found out how they were before we spent more money there. I just wish they would have let me know a month or two ago that they were not equipped to handle teenagers instead of waiting until things progressed for the worst. Just another teachable moment I guess.
