The proof is in the pudding as they say.
“The social dynamic of group classes is extremely powerful. Run correctly, they motivate an athletic output that is only rarely matched in one-on-one training. The competition and camaraderie of the group classes motivated our line “Men will die for points” and the recognition that CrossFit is “the sport of fitness.”’ – Coach Glassman - Founder of CrossFit Inc., CrossFit Journal Issue 41

I got a taste of my first CrossFit workout back in August of 2012, and I have been hooked every since. It has changed my life dramatically. I am much more cognizant of what I eat, how I train, taking proper rest days, setting goals, and living a lifestyle that is sustainable and healthy. Understanding the proper form of the movement is so much more important than doing it faster or "RX" (as perscribed). As you are able to do the movements with correct form, you will undoubtedly be able to perform at a higher level with heavier weight. I am preparing for competitions on a regular basis and want to focus on the Olympic lifts (Clean & Jerk, and Snatch), and the movements that are are my weakness.
