| - I called on a Friday to book an intro appointment on Sunday. When I showed up, nobody had any record of my appointment (great start!). So I guess they scrambled to accomodate me. The owner/coach was obviously incredibly distracted by whatever else was going on in the gym that day- ran me through the broad strokes of crossfit so quickly that he sounded like the Micro Machines guy. Though he took the time to tell me about his half-marathon time and his own fitness achievements, he didn't ask me ONE SINGLE question about my goals, my fitness experience, my motivations or my expectations. I did my baseline workout (which he was only half watching), and when I finished he told me that he thought I had "a little left in the tank", and handed me a sheet of paper with their prices (which are not cheap, btw). He told me he'd email me with a breakdown of my baseline workout, and I've yet to receive anything three days later. There's no doubt that they're serious about fitness there, but I didn't get the feeling that they were serious about MY fitness. If this is how they treat a potential client, I don't have high hopes that the treatment will improve once they have my money, so they will not be getting it. I was really excited about trying CrossFit before my session on Sunday, as I had heard so many good things about it from my friends. I left the session feeling as though I had imposed upon the owner's time and trespassed into his club. I'm still motivated to try CrossFit, but I'll be finding somewhere else to invest my time, my sweat and my money.
Liked: The facility looked impressive
Disliked: The dismissive treatment I received
