Aya2012-05-24T05:46:46Z2012-05-24T05:46:46Z<p>I do CrossFit I've never had a personal trainer so I can't really compare the two. Your choice would really depend on a number of factors -- among them budget and proximity to the nearest CrossFit affiliate in your area.</p>
<p>CrossFit boxes offer trial sessions, so you could make your decision after having tried it. I realize it's not for everyone, but personally, it's the best health and fitness-related decision I've ever made.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

I keep it refrigerated and it stays fresh for a few days. The best part is being able to eat coconut meat too!</p>
