I was hesitant to try crossfit because of the reputation that crossfit-ers are hyper competitive and are overzealous about it. Thankfully, I happened to walk into CrossFit Tysons Corner. The owners and coaches could not have been more welcoming, and while there is lots of motivation to work hard and get fit, I haven't experience any of that "crossfit" zeal I had heard about. Lots of laughing and joking, while getting in a pretty tough workout. The coaches were terrific about helping me learn the program. I had been a gym guy for a long time, but many of the crossfit exercises were new. The coaches made me feel comfortable from day one and are very knowledgable. I've now been doing it for a year. I'm in MUCH better shape today, despite working out at a gym daily for a decade before I joined. I look forward to going. It's social as well as physical. Two big thumbs up!!
