F45 vs CrossFit: What is the difference?!

[@megcoles6390]

Thank you for explaining this! I am training at f45 atm but am thinking about joining my local crossfit too!

[@festekj]

I pulled my back several times doing CrossFit probably due to several injuries (e.g. back, shoulder, knee) I sustained while a competitive snowboarding. F45 is a good compromise and i have yet to injure myself.

Great explanation, I'm still fuzzy about which of the two to join. If only I had the money, I'd join both, but that would be overdoing it.

summary if you're a shy and awkward person - F45 if you're outspoken : Crossfit

Are Mark Wahlberg and David Beckham shy people ?

@@Syd7088 I think the outspoken people do powerlifting and strongmen lol

@@peter_day I'm more of a shy and awkward type of person and have been training at F45 for almost 3 years now. I tried Crossfit before but I felt very anxious. Of course, the different gym has diff vibes. It's purely my own experience nothing against any type of exercise.

like 99% of people who try crossfit end up quitting. Risk of injury is too high, and spending 1 -1.5 hours away from home for a workout that you can finish in 5 minutes is just not worth it.

Very good, thanks!

very helpful

You never touched on risk of injury lol - I've done both for a few years (CrossFit 2009-2011, F45 current) and the risk of injury in CrossFit has to be at least 10x that of F45. Doing highly complex Olympic lifts as a race against other people is just not a good idea. As people age and get older - I would recommend F45 to like 99% of my friends instead of Crossfit.

I think it's a really good point to be fair. I just don't have any solid data on it to speak about, which makes it a trickier topic to talk about, but it's a really important consideration for sure :)

F45 is definitely not going to give you amazing results

[@peter_day]

There are literally 1,000’s of amazing body transformations from F45 all over the internet from all age groups. What are you basing that off ?
