This is so interesting to hear. Can attest to that as well. Left my previous crossfit gym as they mainly had 20year oldish members (which obviously is fine) but I am in my 40's so struggle to keep up with a lot of the WOD's and the owners were more focused on the younger "elite" guys and gals who looks like bodybuilders as well as the fact that most were of the same church so you ended up being on the outside of the group not feeling welcome or progressing. Once their classes started getting way too big I left and found another crossfit gym where I am loving it. The owners (husband and wife) are early 40's and classes are capped at 12 people at a time. They are very focused on doing movements 100% correct before celebrating the weight on the bar and no one bats an eye when anyone scales to whatever works for them to get the same stimulus. The owners feel as long as you move that's already better than not moving at all. I am very grateful I found that gym so always worth looking around to find your fit
What annoys me with crossfit at my gym is that getting the fastest time seems to be the goal. That means there are wod's with a lot off heavy deadlift people try to speed trough them. I am competitive but some movements are not ment to hurry through to get them right and get proper results. I still love it but some assets really bother me and that is why I cherry pick the workouts and the rest I wil do on my own with general weightlifting and sprint training.
Hello sporty Beth! The UK in the summer is cold! I am from the US, and am in my 60’s. I was visiting a friend in Liverpool when the 23.1 workout was announced. I thought ´why not’, and signed up. I did my workout in Wirral and was spoiled rotten by that group. Everything was set up for me, I was judged, and I was given a ride back to my hotel !!!!!! I did enjoy that experience. At my gym, we have a great coaching staff. They are very conscientious of everyone and their skills. Modifications aren’t an issue nor are they considered a less than desirable client. Keep posting! P.S. creamer in the US is half and half. Half milk/ Half Cream.
thank you for that video! thanks to you and one of your previous videos about CrossFit I joined CrossFit gym with my husband almost 2 years ago. It was a very interesting physical and mental journey. And now I'm in a place where I see what in CrossFit works for me and what not. I am most disappointed in my cardio level which changed only slightly what is annoying when I think how exhausting are those high-intensity pieces of training! And I don't like there is no good stretching that is so much needed after those classes. I started to be stiff and I had training yoga for a long time before. But I got stronger and I gained new friends.
If you want to "look fitter"... Eat. Less. Calories. And thats about it. Thats the whole science behind it. Any sport will help you become "fitter" if you... Eat. Less. Calories. Every body in the world reacts the same to extra calories. Yours is the same. Its not unique or special in any kind of way when it comes to that.
Your advice to eat *fewer* calories is short-sighted and potentially dangerous. Most athletes would actually benefit from eating more calories. I followed the stupid low-calorie diet culture nonsense when I first started working out regularly and I suffered with bone fractures, amenorrhea, hair loss and low energy. As soon as I ate *enough* calories, my performance was fantastic. I’m not a solitary example, thousands of athletes get caught up in diet culture and we all have to independently realise that you can’t diet and gain muscle at the same time. You cannot keep peddling the same low calorie diet nonsense when individuals are doing intense workouts. And it’s not about “looking fit” it’s about *being* fit (and most importantly, healthy). So go away with your terrible unsolicited advice. 😊
@@sportybeth You constantly complain in every video how crossfit is not making you fitter. Your diet is the answer, thats about it. You will NEVER outwork a fork. You need to be in a caloric deficit to achieve it. Thats the whole magic. "piss off", awesome manners
@@Geogaddii You need to know how much you need, what exactly is enough, to achieve aesthetic results. You shouldnt just go low calorie and pick a random low number.

That’s the worst, especially when the coach/trainer is competitive and have an ego

I totally agree! I’ve done sales at a CrossFit gym and it was very clicky!!! 😞

I didn’t ask for your idiotic advice and fitness is testable it’s not a look or specific body size. Piss off

Well some people need to eat more. This advice isn’t all that great….
