Cross Fit or Personal Trainer

[winnied]

Pros/cons of each? I'd like to gain muscle mass and lose inches in a few places. I used to be a runner but I just got bored with it so I'm looking into other options.

Do you prefer 1 on 1 training or a group atmosphere?  That is your biggest question to answer right there.

I agree.  Crossfit is community style and the friendly competition and support is what I liked most about it.

I don't really feel like I have a preference? Or perhaps it depends on the activity. In my dance classes I like groups but I don't like running with a group.

Most CF boxes either have a designated free workout each month or will let you stop by for a class. I would do that to see if you like the style.

I love Crossfit because of the community/camaraderie aspects. I could build a gym in my garage and do the exact same workouts by myself, but it wouldn't be nearly as much fun. I think you can get fit either way, it's just more about what your personal preference is. If you like to get in, get out - without any interaction other than with a trainer, do personal training. If you want to workout with other people, make friends, etc. with your training, then do CF.
