which one would you do?
DH and I want to start a workout routine together. It's between crossfit or NYSC, specifically for spinning. Here are the pros and cons:
PROS and CONs of Both
NYSC Pros
- It is almost half the price of crossfit
- There are more classes that we can do together
- There are other options if we decide to do more than spin
NYSC Cons
- The instructors are just ok for the most part
- The bikes are just ok
Crossfit Pros:
- We think we'll be in much better shape than just going to spin at NYSC
- It will be a bigger challenge
- We are impressed by the trainers
Crossfit Cons:
- More expensive
- Less availability for us (we could only go 2x week/max)
- The environment is very 'raw' if that makes sense? I'm not used to that.
- It can be intimidating imo

Re: which one would you do?
considering Crossfit is double the price and you'd only go twice a week, that negates any notion of being able to get more in shape there vs. the other place, KWIM?
I'd do NYSC

Re: which one would you do?
that's easy NYSC hands down you have each other to push each other further. There is no real need for a personal trainer I would enjoy the classes and use the free training sessions that they offer when signing up for some work out ideas and run with it

Join NYSC
Some classes are better than others and if you sign up at the last day of the month, they should give you a deal on getting a passport membership, so you can go to any club because they need to hit their numbers and want to sign as many people up as possible.
Not a fan of what I heard about Cross Fit. The one by me (not on LI) has something called the puke list. That is dangerous to work out to the point of vomitting and I'm appalled that the list exists.

NYSC. Like Lauren said, I would LOVE to join a Crossfit gym but it really isn't practical or affordable. You can always look up the WOD online and do that at your own gym.

I agree with this. You can also do crossfit at home, they post all their daily work outs online. There may be some things you need to purchase like a pull-up bar, etc but you can def do it at home to supplement a few days a week if you want.

Re: which one would you do?
You can do NYSC, and do cross-fit exercises at the gym. Challenge eachother. Do time challenges, look up different exercises. Throw the medicine ball back and forth adding fun stuff. I wish I had a partner at the gym, my limits would be ENDLESS!
