Crossfit boxes offer great community. But, it's so hard to share feedback to trainers when you're friends with them.
I'm curious if others feel the same.
What's something you want your box to know that you can't imagine sharing to their face?
Hi all!
Started CrossFit only a few weeks ago after getting bored of my standard gen pop strength routine of like ten years. Used to be a trainer (not CrossFit) myself for a spell. I’ve had some days where I really like the workouts programmed but more often than not I have found weeks where the programming doesn’t make a ton of sense or is just far too intense with only metcons in the week. I’ve discovered my box pays for mayhem programming and after comparing it to a competitor nearby who does their own programming I’m considering switching to the competitor because it feels more geared towards general fitness and less about competitive goals so to speak. The competitor publishes summaries of their macro cycles and micro cycles and I’m finding it much more intentional and intelligent. Maybe at their point in the year is just a better entry point for me as opposed to the mayhem side.
I do feel guilty about canceling at the first place. Should I give them constructive feedback if they ask?
Is Linchpin worth it (or even workable) without a Facebook account? It's been a few years since I've been able to get into my Facebook account (took a break for a few months and got locked out). I've been unsuccessful in recovering it, so reluctantly tried to start a new account, and it got immediately banned (in minutes, didn't even get a chance to set it up, much less post anything, find friends or join groups). How much of the Linchpin program would I be missing out on without a Facebook account?
I tried a pair of barefoot shoes for the first time and absolutely love them. I have the TYR barefoot ones. I like them for everything but for days that have running. Favorite barefoot shoes for WODs with running?
