Very disappointed in my experience at CFF. On the good side the gym was nice and the members where friendly. On the bad side the trainer (I think she was also an owner, but not sure) she was not very welcoming. She did not have the class warm up at all! We went straight into lifting a barbell. She never showed any of the movements in the workout. I was kind of lost for a bit because I did not know what to do or when. I been doing CF for a while so I knew how to perform the movements, but in terms of when are we starting or do we need to get our stuff ready because the wod starts soon, she never said anything. Even though the website said very clearly to be ontime, because the class starts at the set hour, the class started late and finished late. As if not having a warmup before class was bad enough, we did not have a cooldown either. I know some gyms dont do cooldowns all the time, but damn no warm up and no cooldown??? Specially after the kind of wod that we did! So I saw a bunch of mobility tools in a bucket by the whiteboard and i grabbed one to stretch on my own and the trainer took it away from me because the item was only to be use by trainers! It was a flat lacrosse ball for crying out loud and it was in a bucket with no label or anything that indicated that its not to be used by people. She also was very clear on no one using some new barbells that because deadlifts will damage new barbells!!! It felt like we where a buch of kids that dont know how to do anything and cant take good care of the equipment and she spend most of her energy making sure we did not touch certain stuff. The reason Im taking the time to write all of this is because I dropped in to this gym because I wnated to check it out for some friends that live in the area and do not work out at all. They are married and dont have a lot of things to do I feel like CF can be good for them. I have been telling them that Crossfit is for everyone so I wanted to just buy them a month of basics or whatever. But thats not going to happen in that place. I was so surprised of the way the did things in that gym. Basically if you are new to CF its not a good place to go to. Hopefully they read this an take it as constructive criticism to improve their service.
