CrossFit

Is it a cult?

What is this, 2013? You just figured this out?

by Anonymousreply 1June 30, 2020 4:34 PM

OP, why are you posting articles from 5 years ago? Are you the 2015 troll?

by Anonymousreply 2June 30, 2020 4:48 PM

I am not the 2015 troll. I have a coworker who just got into a gay crossfit group and this article seemed relevant

by Anonymousreply 3June 30, 2020 4:52 PM

Yeah this is well established. Everyone I know who is involved in CrossFit conforms to the characteristics described.

But picture all the dick you'll get... Oh wait, it's a gay group. They'll all be hitting on the straight boys in the locker room, not each other.

I like the bi muscle bros

Try again

R7 officially closed. I have a CrossFit friend who has been working out at his CrossFit club for weeks. The hardcore members have been invited in. He tells me that everyone wears masks and stays six feet apart. When I reminded him that NYC has not entered the phase allowing this yet he just shrugs. Muscles and cult connections are more important than public health guidelines for these folks.

I’d join ISIS before I’d join CrossFit.

Why? Don’t you wanna be fit, bro?

Chadwick Moore? Isn't he the little furry choad last seen tongue-deep in Milo's taint?

Good catch, R11. Yes, he’s a gay Trump supporter.

It is most definitely a cult.

Pretty much as I imagined it being like. No thanks. All I know is I'm now craving Kool-Aid like a motherfucker.

1. As noted above, the author is a gay Trump supporter

2. I have been a member of a Crossfit gym for five years and nothing he talks about sounds even vaguely familiar. No one wants callouses or cut up hands, there is no forced socialization (the gym has about 4 social events every year, maybe half the members show up), the majority of the members are over 30, with plenty in their 40s and 50s, the instructors don't take themselves or Crossfit nearly as seriously, they get that pretty much everyone is doing it for exercise, and there are members at all levels of fitness.

3. The move Chadwick couldn't do is called an overhead squat not a jump squat--you hold the barbell over your head and you certainly do not jump while holding it.

4. If my experience was anything like old Chadwick's, I would have quit within a month too. I have visited other Crossfit gyms while traveling and have never found anything like he described.

5. Chadwick Moore is a gay Republican.
