Dave - if you have to ask why people CrossFit you will never understand any answer given to you.

Best of luck to you in the future when you make broad statements with huge assumptions. Personally I pay $150 a month and I KNOW that I receive top notch training and the environment in which I train is unmatched. People spend $150/month on all sorts of BS...cable, phone, entertainment, etc. If you can't afford to invest in your health and longevity now I really don't know what to tell ya other than good luck in 25+ years.

If you get any angry answers I would say it's due to the abrasive manner in which your original post was worded.

Peace, RTL
