Three things I wish someone had told me before starting CrossFit

After 7 months of CrossFit I want to share what I wished I'd known at the start.

First: membership costs vs. regular gyms — it hits earlier and harder than the internet suggests. Budget for it practically and mentally. Second: the knee sleeves you buy first will probably be wrong — ask your coach before spending money. Third: Fran is the foundation everything else builds on, but it looks boring from the outside. Resist the temptation to rush toward advanced toes-to-bar before the fundamentals are solid.

how varied the programming keeps you engaged is the reward for getting through all of that. It's worth it.
