True. But once you have seen the light, it is exceptionally hard to go back.

Sounds awesome. Primal is in an old firehouse and very similar. I LOVE it.

Very eloquent my friend. You should write an E2.o novel – really. I’ll help you push it.

^^^ Fortunately she has a husband who does. Heh. I share your sentiments. Makes me look back fondly on the 10 kettlebells and pull up bar we had in Habbiniyah, and not so fondly at the rediculousness of the self-licking ice cream cone of the corporate system.

I crossfit over at the Anacostia BoatHouse. Have you been there? The entire thing looks like a set from the beginning of Law and Order — right where they find the body.
There are holes in the wall where wall balls have cracked the plaster. There are pull up bars hanging from chains. The floor slants slightly so when you box jump it’s important to decide if you want to incline up or down, and when you drop a bar after thrusters, you have to decide if you want it rolling into you or the person behind you. It’s hot in the summer and (I am just learning) very very cold in the winter. But there’s a music hook up for loud music, a chalkboard with the WOD on it, and an instructor who keeps me in good form, a peer group that pushes me to go faster, harder, better.
It’s functional, it’s non-excessive, and it gets results. I should be so lucky to have business processes and tools work in the same way.
