We cancelled our gym membership!!!

;D I'm excited! We barely ever use it since most of our workouts have been outside. Recently I've only been using it for swimming at one to two times a week, totally NOT worth the $90 we've been paying every month.

We are thinking about doing Crossfit from September-December, which is the off season for me and then getting back outside for training once January comes around. I'd love to drop a few pounds and gain some muscle!

I don't think I'd have my gym membership if it wasn't included in my fees. Before it was, I was just paying the daily fee to swim a couple days a week. So much cheaper.

Good for you! I'm sitting here *still* hemming and hawing about joining a new gym. I just can't commit!

In the past you have been very anti-CrossFit.
What changed?

You people changed me!!! I keep reading about it and see so much change in people that I think it's worth a try!

It's really expensive here, so really that has been my main concern. I don't think it should be that expensive. But I think it's worth trying for a few months! We'll see what happens!

Crazy! I hope you enjoy trying something new! Our gym membership is up at the end of the month and I'm debating whether or not I want to renew it or try something new (like maybe crossfit).

Congrats! I've been playing around with this idea as well, I go to a yoga class every couple of weeks and I just don't think it's worth it either. But I just really like having the option of using the treadmills in case of bad weather. I'm a waffler.

I totally understand. I was skeptical about CF for the year before I tried it. I saw people doing kipping pull ups and I thought they were insane.

Good luck, and hopefully you see the results you are hoping for!

Just wanted to say that I felt the same way and thought my husband was crazy and going to seriously injure himself. Then I started researching it and watching YouTube videos and talked to some women who do it. After my trial session, I was hooked and found a way to mentally justify the cost .

Good luck and I hope you enjoy it!
