CrossFit is a trend now and many people would like to try it but are intimidated by getting started. <\/span><\/p>\n

One of the intimidation issues is finding a good gym.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like with any fitness craze, some bad gyms seek to capitalize on the trend without actually helping you meet your fitness goals. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some trainers care more about how they look doing the workout and keeping to a schedule than whether you “get it.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Good gyms exist. You just have to find one. Here are some tips.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Look at photos or videos of a workout online.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You want a gym where there is a diverse group of people working out. <\/span><\/p>\n

That means people of all sizes, tall, short, fat, thin, and at all fitness levels. Stay away from gym workouts that look too polished or where people look too perfect. <\/span><\/p>\n

This tells you what the gym values.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Look at how they introduce you to the classes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There should be a “fundamentals” program for newbies, although it may be called something else.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is important for your safety. Anyone participating in CrossFit must know how the body moves and works. <\/span><\/p>\n

A fundamentals program should be at least six classes and only have beginners in the class.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. A good gym will post their workouts on their site.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Many gyms don’t want to do that, thinking their workouts are something special. <\/span><\/p>\n

They aren’t. That is pure ego. <\/span><\/p>\n

You want to see if the workouts are varied, something anyone can do, of reasonable intensity, and use the time to the fullest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It doesn’t take long to sort out the good gyms from the bad ones. <\/span><\/p>\n

The best part is you can do the weeding right from your computer by looking at their websites. <\/span><\/p>\n

Once you narrow down your picks, take a tour of the gyms and meet the trainers to see if your personality clicks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
