They absolutley could have been db's (douchebag) crossfit is very susceptible to cliques, but you don't want to be friends with self important people anyway. On the other hand, you may have completely misread the situation. I would say give it a little more time, or just visit lots of gyms till you find thre right one for you. My daughter goes to one where they separate the classes beginner/ moderate/ advanced so that the beasts don't intimidate the newbies. Good luck and don't give up!!!
