  • Joined a Crossfit gym!

    I remembered reading about a few of ya'll do the FRAN workout/test and thought, no fucken way I could do that without a lot of rest! I had been pretty lazy for the last, oh 15 years as far as working out, until last June when I started doing at home shit with Kettle Worx/kettle bells. Stuck with it for a year, doing the DVD's and live workouts with the instructor via a website and our webcam.

    Last week Lyn and I decided to join a Crossfit gym by the house, and after 2 workouts, I'm glad we did!

    I knew my endurance really needed work, and I think eventually I'll get some improvement in that area. So far I am liking it, it is different than anything I've done, that's for sure.

    Crazy with the different types of workouts, and complete opposite settings I need to do with my insulin pump. First workout I had to lower the insulin by about %40 (rowing, thrusters (I think that's right), and burpees). Today was more of an endurance circuit, with rows and sprints so I had to increase by about %25. 2 workouts and kept my glucose levels in check both times!

    I'm digging the shit outa it, so thanks to all who posted about doing that type of stuff! Crossfit is kick-ass!

    Anyone in the Keller area wanna try one, check out CrossFit Keller on Facebook. Corner of Ray White and N Tarrant (S.E corner).

          This membership includes the gym here and in Colleyville, and the other side of the gym and the Crossfit side. I think they have like a bootcamp workout on that side, but I'm not really interested in that part. Anyways, $120 per month, unlimited access (you get a key). The Colleyville gym has a sauna, and I think is a little bigger. This one just opened in May IIRC.

          That's kick ass!
          It's nice that this place is smaller, and still new so I was the only one in the 6 AM class today. Tuesday there were 4 of us, Lyn and myself made up half the class! Gonna try and hit up the 8 or 9 AM class tomorrow if I can.

            By the way Bobby over at crossfit colleyville/purfit used to be a member over in Canada and a High School buddy of mine. Real cool guy. I think his name was powerranger93 or something like that.

                Man, you all were right, this shit is great! 3 workouts in, shoulda been 4 but missed Saturday because of work (on call, got called). 2 of my 3 workouts, I was the only one in class! Great thing about a small/new gym, not many members yet, lol. My legs were spaghetti last night (went in at 6 PM).

                    It's not really that bad when you consider how often you can go, and it is with a trainer each time, not just access to the equipment. So far, 3 classes, 2 sessions with only the trainer and me, since they are still new/small, not a lot of people signed up yet. After I get past the stage of being sore as fuck after the workouts, LOL, I'll go maybe 4 times a week.

                      That's awesome, used to do it over seas a lot and really enjoyed it. Been wanting to get back into it, however cant justify the high price tag that comes with it.

                        Went in at 5 AM this morning, only student in class again! 2 girls came in for the 6 AM class. I'm fucken spent! David kicked my ass again.

                        I'm telling ya, anyone around Keller, stop by and check it out. I'm sure he'll let ya try 1 or probably 2 classes to see if you like it before joining and paying.

                        We paid so I would make myself go, no excuses like, I'll go tomorrow.

                          I'm nowhere near Keller, but I think I'm going to look for one somewhere around Carrollton/Coppell/Lewisville. I was going to a bootcamp place. But they shutdown. I wonder if due to the popularity of crossfit??

                          God bless.

                              The Crosfit gym I go to has a bootcamp on one side and Crossfit on the other. I wouldn't be surprised if several others do the same. Crossfit is the shit tho!
