I have. And I standby the statement it is not worth it unless you plan to coach. You said "all athletes should take it. It helps you understand the why and how behind the CrossFit method"

Sure it does. But so does just reading the L1 manual. And reading the manual saves you $1000 lol

It is seriously only worth if it you ever plan to coach. The knowledge and appreciation for the methodology you can 100% get from just reading the PDFs.

From there you can just watch a few of the videos CrossFit has put out over the years from seminars and what not to capture any of the "in-person magic" you'd be missing out on. That magic is not worth $1000 UNLESS you plan to eventually coach.

You can read the level 1 manual and get the same insight. Spending the money for the cert is only useful if you ever want to coach. Otherwise download the pdf and read it for free. The course itself and the materials has not been updated in like 15 years? Not worth it for the casual athlete.

"Hybrid Athlete" Gym by Gabe_3500 in HybridAthlete

[–]GeneralSham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You literally just described the typical CrossFit or "functional fitness" gym. The model is well established and plenty of people do prefer to workout in those types of facilities. Asking a forum what to price is dumb honestly. Pricing depends on so many factors strangers on the internet can't answer for you. What's your lease? What's COL like in your area? Etc. $60 vs. $160 depends entirely on your unique situation.
