CrossFit

[beachgirl]

^ Hi, ThorBeek! I discovered it when I was looking for a cross training routine that would help me with running. But when I got started, I forgot about running and focused on doing only CF. Since then, I've joined a throwdown and a couple of fun runs that were promoted at our box.

CF is great for people of all ages! I once had a boxmate who was already in her 50s, and she was strong! Sign up for a trial

Hi everyone. I usually go to gym and run sometimes. Got me thinking of trying crossfit. Do you have any recommendations around cainta or marikina? Thanks.

[kachich]

Nearest I could think of would be CFMNL in Eastwood

[lawrence01]

Hi Kachich, thanks for the response. Do they have a fb page or website?

[Frozen Toes]

^ Google and FB search, please. CrossFit MNL

Hi, sis kachich! Do you still go to the Makati box? May mga ibang box na pala sa Makati aside from CFMNL no?

[Frozen Toes]

There's Primal Ape in Makati. Been there once and loved it. All Rogue sila don! But malayo sakin eh. Minsan minsan na lang siguro.

[ThorBeek]

Thanks for the reply Frozen Toes and beachgirl 

Used to run regularly (done 2 full-marys and several halfs) and before that regularly goes to gym (pre-Daddy days). But I've slipped in the past year and counting and I can't seem to get the "gana" to go running or working out consistently again. Hirap bumalik! 

[Frozen Toes]

^ My problem naman with my CrossFit box, ang hirap umalis. I sometimes stay til almost midnight just hanging out. Haha.

Some of the best people in the world are CrossFitters. They're friendly and encouraging and they will push you to do better and last longer. It's important din kasi na you are part of a fitness community.

[beachgirl]

^^ Just set aside time to do a trial. If you like it, babalik yung gana after that.

^ True! Minsan ang sarap makipag kwentuhan na lang imbis na mag WOD.

Hi Sis! Nag stop ako for 7 months pero bumalik na ako the other week ago, yes sa Makati Box pa rin. Yes, marami na boxes sa Makati, kina Anton parang nung crossfitmnl days din

[beachgirl]

^ Nahihirapan ako bumalik pag matagal ako nawawala. I miss the old community sa Libis box. Ang daming old-timers na ang nawala o lumipat ng box.

[kachich]

Actually! Ako din medyo hindi ko feel bumalik kaya lang, pilitan kasi sa traditional gym, kahit 10mins na run sa treadmill lang, hirap na hirap ako i push, ang ayoko pa is controlled ko mind ko (i.e. nag iisip pa ako ng ibang bagay during the run/elliptical/stepper)   sa crossfit, hindi na ako masyado nag iisip eh, yung focus na lang to finish the wod na hindi injured, as well as beating the time.

Ok lang naman na magbago ang members, lumipat etc -- during events naman pag na mimeet mo sila same same pa rin

[beachgirl]

^ Ako din yun ang gusto ko sa CF! Yung walang ibang pwedeng pumasok sa isip mo pag nagwowod ka.

Di na ako gaano pumupunta sa events eh, pero tama ka. Pag nagkita kita kayo sa mga throwdown o ibang events, masaya pa din.

[Frozen Toes]

May one-week free trial sa box namin. Good for beginners para matry lang.

[Miss Taken]

Yung office namin located inside La Fuerza compound (toyota alabang) and meron din dun Crossfit. Pag out ko nakikita ko lagi yung mga members na tumatakbo. Nakakangitian ko na nga eh yung trainer nila hehe. Parang gusto ko tuloy itry. Iba iba yung age kaya mas okay for me,

[Frozen Toes]

^ Yes, go for it. I hope you fall in love with CF too.

[beachgirl]

^^ Try mo Miss Taken! You might enjoy it! Newcomers are always welcomed warmly.

[Miss Taken]

Thanks Frozen Toes and beachgirl! I'm just having second thoughts since when it comes to exercise and gyms, zero experience pa talaga hehe. I may look "fit" pero naku ang baba ng stamina level ko. My only form of exercise is dancing at hindi pa madalas. Sa tingin niyo ba sis kaya ko magcross fit? Nakakaintimadate kasi yung mga nababasa kong blogs and articles about it.

[Frozen Toes]

^ You can always scale down the workouts to suit your fitness level. And besides, okay lang if mahina stamina mo, ang question dyan is what are you going to do about it? If iiwasan mo yung workouts that will help you become stronger, pano ka lalakas?

Go na yan. Don't think about it. Free trial naman, nothing to lose. The longer you stand around contemplating on whether to go or not, the higher the chances na di ka magttry.
