  • As I lay here dying - sorry, I meant TYPING - I'm massaging out my poor, beaten muscles...several days after working out. I never thought too much about CrossFit and wrote it off as a meathead and guido hobby until my sister recently got into it and wouldn't stop evangelizing about her newfound love for it. So on a recent visit to Vegas, she looked around for a gym and stumbled upon Decibel CrossFit. The only catch was that it wasn't open yet, so she texted me everyday about it until finally I succumbed and signed up for its on-ramp, a 2-week/6-class intro about the religion for $100, which can be credited towards 4-, 8-, or 12-month membership with different pricing scales for 2x/weekly, 3x/weekly, or unlimited classes. As a long distance runner, I had been looking for a way to incorporate strength and weight training into my regimen, so CrossFit has been a great addition - I go in twice a week now to a different WOD, or Workout of the Day, and I get to use different types of equipment to build up on what was otherwise nonexistent upper body strength. The WODs aren't repetitive, thankfully, so I could be recovering in my arms one day and still be able to go again the next class, where the focus is on shoulders, legs, etc. I was apprehensive at first, and my biggest fear - among many - was that I'd have a fitness fanatic yelling in my face and threatening push ups every other rep at me. I don't respond well to aggression, and if I wanted that kind of abuse, I would've signed up for the Marine Corps. Luckily for me, the husband and wife team of Terrell and Lauren turned out to be incredibly supportive and encouraging, and I found out later on day one that each exercise can always be "scaled down," meaning it can be tweaked to fit your physical capabilities. Both of them always manage to throw in positive reinforcement - who knew a "good job" could go such a long way, but when I'm bench pressing and the only thing between me and imminent death is a helpful "almost there," IT HELPS. The awesome part of getting with a start-up gym is that enrollment is still low enough that each class is practically a semi-private lesson. So as much as I want the gym's numbers to grow, I almost feel a little sad letting this secret out.
