Two years ago, I was an overweight, chain smoking disaster. On hiking trips, I was frequently left in the dust by my friends, and on the ski hill, I was beaten into submission and in the lodge by 2:30pm, stuffing my face with a greasy cheeseburger, wondering how I had come to such a pitiful state. I knew if I wanted to reclaim the glory days of my college years, I would have to make some changes in my life. \r

At first I tried a lifting program, convinced that bicep curls and lat pulldowns held the keys to my future fitness. However the regimented and monotonous routine quickly ran afoul of my ADHD adled mind, and I soon gave it up. \r

Next my Girlfriend suggested I try Yoga. This seemed like an excellent idea, if being in a hot room filled with young, sweaty, spandex clad women contorting themselves into positions I think I had seen in the Kama Sutra didn't motivate me, nothing would. But as I began to practice more frequently, I realized that yoga only gave me a small piece of what I eventually wanted. Something was missing.\r

As I began to envision a future drowned in Fried Chicken and talk show interviewers asking exactly how I had gotten so fat that I couldn't get out of bed, I read an article in a magazine about a new approach to fitness called crossfit, which emphasized total body fitness in short, ultra intense and extremely variable workouts. After a quick web search, I discovered Crossfit Boston, and I haven't looked back since. The classes are amazing, classmates cheer one another on, and the excellent staff ensures that each exercise is done with proper form, and spend time with each athlete to ensure that they have a firm grasp on each new skill. I can honestly say that I am in the best shape of my life, I can now smoke my friends in the mountains, and have recently concluded a 7000 mile bike tour, all due to Crossfit Boston
Pros: Atmosphere, comraderie, dedication of staff
