[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever you do, don't learn how to lift at a Crossfit gym.

I disagree with this. There is a lot of crazy shit going on in many CF boxes, but there are plenty good ones with a significant strength focus and very qualified coaches too. I have started with CF myself and it was critical for me in gaining confidence with basic lifts and finding the courage to eventually venture into the lifting area of a commercial gym. I have abandoned CF years ago but still think it is a good way for women to get familiar with lifting (though second best to hiring a highly qualified strength coach as a personal trainer). The fails generally happen during WODs when people get a bit too competitive, but in my experience the teaching of fundamentals is solid in most gyms. I have been frequenting commercial gyms for a few years now and many things hurt my eyes just as much as whatever CF people sometimes do.[/quote]
