For years, I've been interested in CrossFit, thinking it looks like something I would enjoy but also being intimidated by the idea of it. I'm here to tell you that I have drunk the CrossFit Kool-Aid and I'm here to stay. CrossFit Torrent is a spacious gym with a welcoming attitude. I joined a 28 day challenge for the month of January of 2020. The gym set aside special class times for beginners during the first week of the challenge. In these classes, they focused on technique and gave us some modified workouts to get us comfortable with what we could expect from a normal class. The challenge included three classes a week, home workouts and a meal plan. The results are real. I lost 9 pounds and my body fat decreased by 4.7%
I like that the classes are always an hour long. I never feel like I'm competing with anyone but myself. I do my best to complete the workouts with the weight that works for me. It's nice to look at the more experienced CrossFitters to see what I could aspire to do someday.
The main drawback may be that memberships are expensive and the most cost efficient option is to commit to a one year contract. read more
