Yeah...I was constantly told that I wasn't "peppy" enough because I didn't ride customers' asses around the store and act like a cheerleader on crack. But, generally speaking, it was a fun place to work.
I can believe that. Most of those people are over caffeinated and just...yeah. That part gives me pause, I admit.
I saw this the other day on Gawker. I was going to post it, but some of you Crossfit people scare me (cough*freecorpslhprop1*cough) and I decided not to do it. So someone asked what Crossfit was and this was some guy's response: "It's a fitness thing where you spend $250 to get in then $150 a month to do randomly allocated routines consisting of pull ups, burpees and barbell lifts in someone's garage for 30 minutes per day. Sometimes they run around the block. It's sort of like the "Presidential Fitness Challenge" from the 1980s updated with Fight Club overtones. You can spot them from a mile away because it's a lot of beefy looking chicks and bearded guys with tattoos in short shorts and knee socks." Out of that whole paragraph, I have one question. Do the guys really wear short-shorts and knee socks? Because if so, I need to join Crossfit because that's pretty funny. Um, unless the above-mentioned posters do it, in which case, seems like good fashion sense. I've mentioned this before, but I read an article about Lululemon where the founder said he came up the name because he enjoyed making fun of the Japanese people and they would have a hard time pronouncing it. Article here: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stewart-j-lawrence/when-yogis-kill-the-grisl_b_1077457.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stewart-j ... 77457.html</a> It starts out about a murder between two employees, but gets into the company itself later in the article.
I wish I could be present to see Freecorps' face when he sees himself being mistakenly accused of being a CrossFit member.
I picture lhprop1 somewhere with a fishing rod in his hand, suddenly looking up, confused, then angry, "Me no CrossFit".
They're not? Never mind then. Wasn't FreeCorps flipping tires though? Isn't that exclusive to Crossfit? Well, they're still scary. I stand by original statement.
Nah, FreeCorps does Olympic lift training and according to his videos just competed in his first meet. lhprop1, I believe, trains by wrestling bears for supremacy of a salmon stream as well as pulling buses for "cardio".
Jesus Christ... I ate approximately 1.5 Rosie ODonnells-worth of dim sum. I can already feel it in my stomach and it ain't making friends. My poop is gonna drop harder than Hiroshima.
Pretty sure the only reason your skin isn't being used as a costume right now is because both of them had strokes reading this post, you won't make it past the weekend. This is why people of your advanced age shouldn't have the internet. Are there douche bags in Crossfit? Yes, are they the majority, no, most people just want to get a quick workout in and get home. The issue with Crossfit is that while you have quality coaches like shimmered* you have a bunch of idiots that were delivering pizzas the week before they opened a gym. The brand is just inconsistent, it's not necessarily bad, just not 100% reliable. *If shimmered opened an affiliate here in CT I'd join in a heartbeat, and only 40% of the reason would be to look at her ass while she teaches the lifts, a good 60% would be the solid coaching.
I didn't say I believed the post. Am I it allowed to post other things. What? I didn't thing it was true I I kisumu. But it was funn. Stop. Ha!
Hopefully it's a nice Louis Viton tarp, with twist-tie Brooks Brothers trash bags to throw it out in afterwards. Keep a Cleveland Steamers home game classy at all costs.
If you really want some saturday night fun, start trash talking paleo and watch frank's head explode.

I'm usually pretty good at understanding gibberish (I do work at a college after all) but this one has me stumped.
