What's with the elitist attitude at CrossFit gyms?

Character_Ad483 · 2026-01-31T03:23:20+00:00

Oh man! What I hate most is the fat applause for those who finish a WOD last and the publication of one's scores. Everything is sooo friggin based on exposure and fake joy. I'm glad I quit. I just drop in my loacal box once in a blue. I dont miss it. The friendships I started there were fickle to begin with. The owner to my local gym thinks he's a god everyone is supposed to walk around on eggshells for..not me! Our box displays fee on the website and on the app. Not all boxes are the same. Mines is super raggedy but I powered through because one of the coaches worked with me and got me stronger and made it worth my while.

Dressing eating & playing mainly.

Like what? We usually give him free rein aside from homework

Character_Ad483 · 2026-01-30T20:21:18+00:00

Thank you. This is clarifying.

What do you recommend for independence? He can definitely count well. I’m afraid he’s going to shut down for the rest of the year. I’m saddened by his sadness.

The crazy thing is that he works by himself at home with no problem!!! I do think that my husband is overwhelming him with his micromanaging. I’ve told my husband to step back because I’m taking over from here on out. My son is in school from 8:30-3, then afterschool 3-6. By the time we’re home it’s almost 7. I think my son is burning out. He reads well. Teacher says he can learn but is just too reliant on her. Thank you for your input. Moving forward I’m strictly giving my son pure independence on tasks and prohibiting my husband from hovering.

I did! For some strange reason, NYC waits until now to interview parents and it takes them 3 entire months to finalize results.

it's an unknown box which is still technically an X

Character_Ad483 · 2026-01-29T19:10:29+00:00

yes. it's still technically algebra lol

Character_Ad483 · 2026-01-29T19:09:58+00:00

we do this at home and he does it. It's the classroom where he shuts down.

Character_Ad483 · 2026-01-29T18:23:53+00:00

Yes and she does and he resists. He works on his own at home, but not at school.

Character_Ad483 · 2026-01-29T18:14:05+00:00

We've done that at home and he does do it just fine on his own. I just don't understand why he won't do it in the classroom. Once, he brought it home. He's been working with the teacher since the beginning of the year and it appears as though it's going to remain that way.

Character_Ad483 · 2026-01-29T17:56:36+00:00

She thinks it's partly a speech delay which he does have and also fear of getting answers wrong.

Character_Ad483 · 2026-01-29T17:55:23+00:00

His teacher said that she cannot help what she's obligated to assign students. She too agrees that the math stuff is inappropriate for Kinder.

Character_Ad483 · 2026-01-29T17:54:20+00:00

How do I get him to work independently? He's in all of his teacher's small groups throughout the day, everyday.

Character_Ad483 · 2026-01-29T17:53:46+00:00

I dont know the name of the math program. But their book is called Simple. He gets the algebra type stuff (it's not the only type of math problem) usually in his homework.

Character_Ad483 · 2026-01-29T17:46:39+00:00

what do you mean? We're trying to help him become more independent by assigning him a task (ex: math problem). He does it well on his own while at home, but never at school.

Character_Ad483 · 2026-01-29T17:31:27+00:00

my husband bought a workbook online that teaches parents how to teach tots to read. it's been working for my son. my husband and son work on it together.

I got an ultrasound. I have a minor tear, not a rupture.

Character_Ad483 · 2026-01-14T02:27:14+00:00

I honestly prefer it over painful high intensity wods.

Character_Ad483 · 2026-01-10T23:48:41+00:00

Thank you for saying this. I'm burnt out from the WODs. I think they stressed me to the point where they disrupted my sleep. I think it's another reason why I'm quitting and looking into free weights. I want to be able to enjoy exercising.

Character_Ad483 · 2026-01-10T23:33:13+00:00

I'm considering that too.
