you're getting to go free? as LEO? because DallasCentral is $165-175 per month.
good luck with your program.

Edit: I realize each Crossfit gym makes up their own workout plan. Some more intense
than others, depends on the trainers.

My gym is $100/mo for everyone. They guy that runs it is a former recon marine, so he's a good resource for other training too. It's alot, but not when you weigh out the personal aspect. I can text him day or night with a food or workout question.

Here are some basics for the curious:

There were taken from a google search - that's not my gym.


Doing the WOD as prescribed is still a bit off for me, but I've got time, I want to have the right things in place like nutrition and technique before I start taking them on.

I'm down 25 lbs in 9 weeks using the old "eat right and exercise" method.

Whats your ultimate goal?

I'm gonna keep melting for another month, and then we can tailor my eating based on gains/performance in the gym. Utimate goal? Make SWAT on my first tryout (a year away prob) and then in 4 years time possibly go through FBI tactical recruiting program for HRT. I've always been a runner (did the austin half 2 yrs ago), but CrossFIT is a whole different ball game. The movements are crazy. And you can do it for free.

I go to a crossfit gym in my area because the accountability and customization is great. Plus they're equipment is great, tons of rings and ropes hanging down in a warehouse style facility with rubber floors.

I wasn't all that big, and could still run and workout, but the CrossFIT gym I'm at put me on a great eating plan to lean up and see big performance gains. Through eating alone I lost 17lbs.

For those interested, check out the Paleo-Zone diet. It's a combo of the Zone and the Paleo diets.

It works. Most I know have lost 15-20lbs a month doing this.
