16 Hours In A CrossFit Gym 

sometimes I forget buzzfeed is an advertising company

In my opinoin the most important thing of crossfit gym is the location. You need to have hospital near by.

I was expecting a 16 hour workout. I am disappointed.

I've been doing crossfit for a year now to test it out so here's my objective pros and cons Pros: Definitely the most friendliest and cooperative workout experience. Everyone seems to try to get through it together and make a community unlike a normal gym where I'm usually on my own. The coach I had wouldn't let me do the workouts until I had form down which I thought was very responsible of him though I heard a lot of coaches don't do that so maybe it was for my specific gym (though some workouts can harm you if you don't have the proper form). The workout are down to earth tough and though I have gotten significantly stronger plus I can definitely say I'm more "fit" as in I can do more than just lift weights now. Cons: I really don't like some of the forms they try to make you do like the kipping pull ups, I really disagree with those as they can destroy your shoulders (though they don't mind if you just do straight pull ups but it's the idea they get people to think kipping is good I don't like). Even though everyone is a super friendly community (I even refer to my class as family sometimes) there's a level of pretentiousness on who considers themselves athletic. There's no doubt the coaches or the people who play in the games are athletic but the regular gym goers are definitely not. And sometimes, I kinda get tired of people talking about how good or how bad crossfit is. And my biggest complaint is that it's NOT cheap. A crossfit membership is very expensive, so mind that. Final thoughts in it, I really like it, but I wouldn't stray away from normal lifting just to do crossfit. I think crossfit is really good conditioning and strength building but it's definitely something to do along side your normal lifting routine. I thought it would honestly be worse than what I heard over the internet but it honestly wasn't. Biggest tip that I found that change my mind on how bad crossfit would be is they give you a choice to not do workouts you may think you might harm yourself in, which is great and they're super respectful about it. I do recommend it if you got the money to spend, if not, stick to your regular routine and add some functional lifts. I hope this gives some people some unbiased input into crossfit as all I see in the comments are completely one-sided inputs, so I hope this serves you well if you're considering it! :)

I'm curious to see how a crossfit athlete can control eccentric movements. So far every crossfit athlete I've seen is pretty bad at that.

Wtf kinda pull ups are those? 3:29

but why crosshit tho?

HAH. They just called it a GYM. They even call the participants ATHLETES. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

look, flopping fishes 3:29! get them back in the sea before they suffocate!

a lot of people there have awful form......I don't think they realize that bad form means injury and zero results.

Am I the only one that noticed that Jordan's boyfriend was at this gym?

16 hours swimming. Let's see how that goes😂😂

Crossfit: the mockery of the fitness world

3:28 Those pull ups pretty much just sums up crossfit... like, wtf?

One way ticket to snap city

For some reason.. these people come across as really unstable.. or is it me?

3:30 AND THAT'S A TOTAL OF ZERROOOOOOO

It doesn't matter what people do, as long as they are working out and feeling a sense of accomplishment and bettering themselves, we have no right to criticize. We certainly can't criticize something we don't understand. For example: I admit I thought that kipping pull ups seemed funny but that's actually an accessory to the jerk or clean.

garbage form.. bent backs total lack of control of the bar, injury everywhere lol

This video just felt like an advertisement to go to this specific gym.

When they say "box" are they just meaning "gym"??

Sounded like Jordan did the video. But CrossFit is something that she loves. So I'm guessing the worse part was...she didn't work out while filming.

This makes me wanna go to the gym

This kind of form is not acceptable.

OMG, those fish-out-of-the water "pull-ups" are just SAD.

Everyone who hardcore lifts hates crossfit and it's so funny

So many bent backs and such a fast speed. Yall gonna see in 40 years these people gonna be broke.

16 Hours In A CrossFit Gym? I know I can't relate when I'm at home in bed writing this comment...

I really need some help guys!! I got a big problem! I do crossfit and I'm a vegan. So ... which one do i tell people first?? Please help guys

Why do all that work for like zero gainz?

I am the laziest person ever but exercise seems like it's fun someone convert me

omg graphic design guy isnt here! im sorry but i had to say it

At first I thought that it was a video of somene working out in a gym for 16h...

No pushups no pullups no actual weight lifting , the squats are not squats , the forms are bad but they make a chiropractic-er happy anyway

Crossfit is the fitness version of Scientology.

Stop advertising crossfit. Its a poor choice for exercising.

Oh cool, you have a box with dog pee all over it.

I want a "Smokers try Vaping for a month" life change video

Chanida is right, she seems to have a harmonious team; I especially love her driven receptionist who brings her dog to work. This sounds like an amazing place to work and to work out!

I just lost alot of muscle watching this video

oh man that pull ups pls no NO ....

"athletes"

At the Entrance of Every Cross Fit Gym there should be a Sign that Reads "WELCOME TO SNAP CITY"

This reminds me of the CF box I go to in the way it’s super friendly and supportive. I am a 5:30am girl but when I show up to the later classes it’s so cool because every man and his actual dog is there - so good! :)

I really used to hate the idea of a group workout gym. Once you get that sense of comradery with the people in your time slot it really gives you a reason to never stop going. Competition is such a great tool haha.

ZZEEEEEEROOOOOOO

I'm still confused on why so many people hate on crossfit. I mean I go to the regular gym myself but what is it with the hate people have for crossfit and the jokes about it lmao?

Do you want to make no weight gains and have a high chance for injury because of terrible form? Join crossfit!!

I like how the head coach is so proud that people come in with dogs while they are training and they have dogs running around there while they're training with barbells etc. What could go wrong?

My physiotherapist LOVES Crossfit. His practice has increased massively since this thing got big.

3:29 OH YEAH THATS THE STUFF LOOOOL

16 hours? I'd be done with that place before 16 seconds!

Not a single rep was completed on that day...

I have no idea why I love this video so much and watched it for like 1000000 times and have an own tab in every browser for it even though I don't work out...Anyone like me?

A lot of crossfit hate here. There are boxes out there that are reckless with their clients, but there are others that have trainers take the time to teach proper form and monitor new clients. The atmosphere is fun and encouraging, and the people have always been nice and supportive, in my experience. But just like any intense action, you should to do your homework and make sure that what you're doing is safe and effective. I'm not on the crossfit bandwagon myself, but I took the time to try it for a few months. Make sure that you are at one of those good locations, and that you are staying within your limits.

But isn't crossfit unhealthy..?

16 hours is a bit too much...and thats coming from a gym rat #GirlsLiftToo ^___^

1:40 seems like the best exercise to do to have a record of getting the most injuries

LOVED this, i joined a crossfit box around 8 weeks ago and it was the best thing i ever did, never have i fallen in love such incredibly inspiring and motivating people, I've made so many friends and accomplished things i never knew i could! xxx

As an olympic athlete, it hurts to watch what those people are doing.

What is that form. Everything they did was a sloppy half rep

Many people complain about crossfit...yet go to the gym and look at someone weight lifting...most of them compensate to show off they can lift heavy weights. Doing a workout is good for you, up to you if you do it wrong or not. Atleast these people go out and do something about there physique. STOP JUDGING

best pullups ive ever seen. I should start doing my pullups that way so that I can really focus on and work out my back muscles

This is my favourite buzzfeed video of all time

A crossfit place is called a box? How fitting.

The sport of losing gainnzzzz

it pains me so much when i see colored bumper plates in pounds rather than kilos.

BUZZFEED IS THE RU-vid OF CROSSFIT

This is cool. I always wanted to be into working out but i'm really bad at being motivated but i'm going to try this summer with some fitness classes i'm taking

16 hours ? I'd be done in 16 minutes...

WHY WOULD YOU WORK OUT AT 6 AM LIKE NAH I'M SLEEPIN'

What is it with crossfitters and bringing their dogs to the gym?

I used to go to crossfit. The one I went to they actually foucused on form and we improved so much

I googled crossfit but I still don't understand what it is.Why do people hate on this so much ?

a lot of spines were severed that day

oh crossfit guess not everyone likes making gains or progress but injuries on a dailyyyy basis baby please.

I'm early! Better think of another copy and pasted comment.

I'm so glad there are a few females in the gym! It really shows that we are improving and are able to accept that we all should deserve the same rights!

only buzzfeed would pick a gym that is known for more injuries than gains and show how cool it is

"37 athletes will come in..." Athletes? ATHLETES?? Haha. Ok. If that's what you call flopping fish in a barrel.

16 hours in a CrossShit gym just to make 0 gains.

How to F*** up your back 101

I'm sick of people talking smack about crossfit. So we have a different name for our workout building, a box instead of a gym. We do strict or regular pull ups, then we have kipping pull ups and butterfly pull ups and negative pull ups and jumping pull ups because we support variety and scaling. We all do weightlifting, gymnastics, cardio and bodyweight workouts combined everyday. Never have I heard a crossfitter discouraging someone who has a different workout lifestyle and doesn't do crossfit, we're not bitter, jealous twits like some people are towards crossfit. Look at the crossfit games, regionals, go look at your fit crossfit friend who can help you move in to your easier and push your car up a hill, crossfit is an effective programming. Not only is crossfit like a big family who supports one and other at a box and cheers everyone on equally (unlike many other gyms) we will literally run the extra mile, do 50 more squats, 100 pull ups or 500m rowing with someone to help them feel better and finish with them as a team. We're an accepting family in our own little box who will never make fun of you when you can't do a pull up yet, when you get winded during a 200m run, when you can't lift the heaviest weight, everyone is an equal and everyone gets the same amount of praise and support. Try crossfit, those pull ups you love making fun of, aren't so easy Mr. 'I pick things up and put them down' ~Sincerely, a damn proud crossfitter!

I go to a cross fit gym every Tuesday and Thursday and absolutely love it there. The people make the whole experience so enjoyable!!

So many people spreading the opinion that Crossfit will get you injured. If these people had enough intelligence to actually do their own research, they will see Crossfit as a sport, is not more likely to cause an injury compared to football, weight lifting and a handful of other sports. Do what you enjoy and look after yourself. If you are that worried about being injured, go buy yourself a static cycle.

Do they even lift? Crosshit lol

Athletes? How are these people athletes? Fit? Yes. Motivated? Yes. Athletes? No.

6 to 7 hours sleep is said to be healthy and make you live longer. Working out is fantastic but there needs to be a balance of resting as well. This allows the body to rest. Usually if you don't let your body rest so it can heal it will be harder to loose weight.

crossfit has so much potential with its community and passion, but only needs to teach good form to be successful in the long run.

If your a vegan that does crossfit and yoga whats the first thing you say to everyone you meet? I guess have to pick one and wear a T shirt that says the other two

Omg that pull-up form killed me 😂

I'd love to join a Crossfit gym. Too bad I can't afford it. Cheapest one in my area is $160 per month.

this is my favorite buzzfeed video

4:06 THAT MUSCLE UP OMG IM DEAD WTF JHAHAHAHA

You know your choice of fitness sucks when even the instructors aren't fit looking.

Don't understand why so many hate on the form of crossfitters 😂😂😂😂 have you ever been in a regular gym ? 90 percent of the people can't even use the machines properly 😂 I am a pt and know what I am talking about! The difference is that crossfit athletes actually work out, make constantly progress and do not just sit on the leg press machine and play with their phones 😄

please buzzfeed do not call these people 'athletes'

I see comments like "not buff" and "bad form", Don't be a dope man. Instead of criticizing, try encouraging. a Bad day at any gym is better than a good day on the couch. Crossfit is a way of life, much like bodybuilding. hats off to all disciplines of healthy living. Keep fit and stay healthy

They were doing one exercise a lot , which was kinda a blend of dead lift and upright rows. What is it and why were they doing it so much(and so fast!)
