Any suggestions as to whether I should join a crossfit gym or not?

$80+ per month which I'm not too excited about, but wanted to try something else out for a bit. Various workout routines over the past few years have grown stale.

I did one for a few months in college but I couldn't really afford it when classes started back and I couldn't work as much. But they are very cultish and are going to try to get you to sign up for all sorts of random shite that you don't really need. They typically don't stress proper form like I would have liked. But it was a very welcoming experience and provided tons of motivation to get up and get better. The variety in the workouts was a huge plus for me being someone who didn't grow up spending a lot of time in a gym.

I do CrossFit and some places are much better than others. I've never been to one that pushes crap you don't need like the other guy said. I will agree with him that some places do not focus on form as much as they should. The one I go to requires people to do an "elements" class where you learn all of the movements before you can start classes. You definitely have to leave your pride at the door because you need to do less weight until you become proficient with movements. I personally love it and I'm in the best shape of my life. Just try the place out before you decide to join.
