CrossFit Merit

Great spot for anyone looking for CrossFit or just general group fitness programming. (Also, apparently for seasoned athletes as well judging by what some regulars pull off). Coaches are kind, patient, and humble. (Eryka has been my go-to; excellent stuff). Community is similiarly friendly and supportive. Transparent pricing. Lots of group options on all different days and times, which is super beneficial for flexibility. Owner is chill and is a good human. Only downside are the looks I get when I come running in late and miss some of the workout, but that's probably just my own projecting. And sometimes people don't laugh at my jokes. 5/5 Highly recommend.

This is the best investment Ive made this year. 165 / month is not cheap, but 5 months later, I feel infinitely stronger and more confident. I think its the class form that does the trick. Its so much easier to go to a class than go to work out by myself. And since the coaches decide what exercises to do for the day, I only need to follow through instead of coming up with my own stuff. If its hard for me, I just scale it down. And everyone tells me that I do a good job, so I dont beat myself up for not giving a 120% to it. After all, its the persistence, rather than intensity, that really leads to body transformation. Again, every penny is worth it.
