    How do you deal with workout shamming?

    @jesrel I am not defending the actions of this athlete. It is not their place to scold you. However, there is a chance that, based on THIS, it came from a place of concern. If you were asking reddit for recovery advice three months ago, there is a chance you were talking about your lack of...

    S&C programming and kinesiology resources outside of CrossFit methodology

    @grant4god If your goal is to coach CrossFit group classes, stick with the CrossFit Methodology for a few years. Many young coaches make the mistake of too much, too soon. Learn proper progressions for every movement, learn to write your own progressions, and focus on doing the basics...

    More reps with lower weight, or less reps with higher weight?

    @ladyblue1 There are two factors when loading in a met-con: Are you consistently demonstrating sound mechanics, regardless of loading? Make sure you move well before adding intensity, work at the threshold that suits your movement quality. Are you moving in a manner that meets the intended...

    Initial 24.3 percentages BTWB (and percentages to shoot for, for quarterfinals)

    @talkingbunny Similar to most muscle-up focused workouts, guys and girls will be very different. This morning, I watched guys who would dummy either workout struggle and barely finish. I watched a women who was top 1000 worldwide in last years QF fight for one bar muscle-up in the fourth round...

    Joint health

    @dreamsunderstood Your movement quality is not at an adequate level to sustain an increase in volume. Due your advanced training age, fixing your shortcomings will require some sacrifices. For the next three months, do the following: When performing Heavy Days - IE strength sessions - include...

    Latest move by Berkshire CutFit (franchising models survey)

    @grace4nan I took the survey after seeing the outrage online. It isn't anywhere near the boogeyman people are making it out to be. But, the truth isn't going to clickbait: The survey explored a cost increase and canvassed for feedback on a tiered pricing structure. Amusingly enough, a few of...

    Box Owners, please monitor your “contact us” mailboxes and forms

    @thomasmoore In a 24 hour period, there are 15-30 emails sent to our general inbox that require actioning. Some are quick; others require a more thought out out response. We check email twice per-day. However, if there is an inquiry that requires my attention outside of our normal SOPS, it will...

    Box Owners, please monitor your “contact us” mailboxes and forms

    @akoto As an Affiliate Owner, the trend towards social media is disappointing. Our social media accounts are monitored by a contractor while our primary inbox has a team with a set-rotation making sure emails are answered within 1 business day. Why: It's easier to recover a G-Suite email if...

    CrossFit burnout?

    @bonlin Go to class for two weeks, scale the workouts, and try to move perfectly. If the workout is pull-ups and you normally butterfly, perform perfect hollow body kipping pull-ups. Use a weight you KNOW you can hit all of the points of performance regardless of fatigue. And focus on having fun...

    Bad Programming

    @duskborn You are paying for coaching. If you do not feel you are receiving adequate feedback or making marked progress, talk with ownership and/or consider leaving the gym.

    Bad Programming

    @duskborn I have have had access to over half-a-dozen SugarWOD backends and 1000+ athletes all using the same programming. Despite sharing programming, the gyms had drastically different results. Programming is significantly less important then people selling you programming would have you...

    CrossFit, LLC price hike - What if?

    @grace4nan That people would 'disaffiliate' over an increase in the Affiliate fee. Or even complain about it to begin with.

    CrossFit, LLC price hike - What if?

    @hallelujesus2023 I do not yet own my building. I re-negotiated a favourable multi-year lease following the conclusion of the pandemic by leveraging my uninterrupted lockdown lease payments. Staff costs have also remained mostly stagnant as I over-staffed in 2022 anticipating the growth in...

    CrossFit, LLC price hike - What if?

    @grace4nan The Affiliate fee is a fraction of a percent of my gross revenue. "CrossFit near me" brings in 10+ people a month through my doors. 3K USD yearly currently provides an amazing ROI. It's mind bottling that there are owners who do not see the value. Outside of brand recognition, The...
