Awesomeness!
i have never been to a certification and i am sure that the instruction i would get there would be beneficial for myself and my clients, but being that i decided a year ago that i didn't want to be a trainer anymore and stopped training clients altogether, it would frankly be a waste of money. i think you and i are in the same boat here the difference being that you don't pay for any of your certifications, not with money anyway.
Ouch!

IGX'er, this is a call to arms. AllisonBOT is under attack!

Allison, I have to say that your grand standing knows no bounds. Your immature vision of thiking the world hangs on your every whim and opinion is getting more than old and your 15 minutes of fame have long been extingushed. Time to move on.
maybe if allison had made a seedy video in some no-name hotel talking about how embarrassed she was about the size of her breasts while standing in her BRA, you would have understood her point more clearly. you have made it obvious to the entire community and (congratulations) the whole world, that flicking your thong at a guy while giggling and proclaiming "sex sells!" is what fitness means to you.

This latest rant of yours is over the top and is based on nothing other than your whimsy and fantasy for comparison and is mere apples and oranges. Some one needs to tell you to go away and shut up. Oh - that was done when you were kicked out of AZ and Cali, but still you continue this crap. Does it not matter to you that you are nothing but a joke when spoken of in CF circles. Reading most of your crap on the internet that you spew like so much wisdom it appears you have no understanding of the real world - and those that are tired of hearing you utter any words where CF is concerned.
It appears that AllisonBOT has sassmouthed her way through the greater gotham @fit scene. The more I learn about these people the more I like them, really the next step is pron..it just makes sense.

ATTA GIRL ALLISON!!!!

It is obvious you really do not have your heart in the right place where CF is concerned. You boast and brag about all your accomplishments and CF feats and most of them are lies. I have reports from NY that a 95 pound thruster gives you trouble and yet you speak of doing OHS at 180, your laughable. And now you bring up this elements comparison and tear down the CF level one cert. What a joke. You certainly are not representing NY or The Black Box well by any standard.

You are no expert, you have no real life experience, nor do you have ANY real coaching expereience to speak of worht substance. You got some free certs and have barged your way into far too many events and then do nothing but distract and piss people off.

I feel sorry for those in NY who have to put up with your crap.

AllisonNYC
I see no need to meet you. I've seen too much of you on the net already. I just don't understand why someone so concerned with the training doesn't actually work as a trainer herself. Given your enormous talents and exposure. Why do you feel the need to criticize people who make their living doing Crossfit which you claim to love. Nobody criticizes you for the way you do your job whatever that is.

If they love you so much in AZ (and the training so superior) why don't you go back there? Leave us alone on the east coast.
Tune in next week for another exciting webisode of "See You Next Tuesday: The AllisonNYC Story"

Next week we learn which Crossfit Hottie AllisonNYC has a crush on. We will learn her thoughts on everything from training to eating to where are the best places to do pullups on scaffolding. Find out what she ate and how much she overhead squatted.

Find out which trainers are legit and which ones are lame. Find out if you should be training with a PVC pipe or a 65# barbell. Which Level Cert is right for you? AllisonNYC will tell you. Should you have insurance? Ask AllisonNYC!

I guess they don't like her anymore [-(

Why all the hoopla? $300 to see Allison's elements sounds fair.

Is that for the full hour? full service or just a manual finish? multiple shots on goal?

That has to be the fastest fall from grace in the history of @fit. All this because she (allegedly) hammered it out with dreamboat Chad W?
Is that what got her kicked out of California? (I swear to god, only complete douchebags call this state, "Cali")
I agree, pron is the next logical step. Plus the trust fund must be running low.

Ironically, that's a different Allison.

HAHAHAHAH.

I've met that Allison, she was pretty hardcore, fitness-wise, but quiet.

Some lucky bastard is going to find her in a bar this weekend with particularly low self-esteem.

I tried to follow the thread, gave up as there are too many Allisons (is it possible?) but I think she's right. I paid $300 for 2 days of intensive one-on-one training to learn climbing self rescue from a pro. Paying $1000 to stand behind 100 other people cuz I'm tall is nuts.

Here's my stance on $1000 certs.

Glassman deserves EVERY dollar he convinces people to pay him. EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DOLLAR, and more power to him, despite my gleeful deconstruction of many things Crossfit online.

6-7 figure income? Fucking A. Maybe I should have gotten in on the ground floor.

Shaf's post brings me to a point I've been mulling: namely, that I think the @Fit hate is overblown. It's very entertaining to watch the soap opera, but really being pissed about/at them (as PL54 seems to be) is overkill IMO.

It's like hating on Scientology. They're idiots, it's a scam, we all understand this. But it's not like they really pose a threat to anyone except the mental giants like Kirstie Alley that they manage to sucker.

To date no @Fit person has ever hurt me, except for the occasional pain in my stomach from laughing really hard. If one of them hits me with an errant lift my feelings may change, but right now it's just comedy. With tribal tattoos.

They called PL54 a "low performer"

Thems fightin' words.

I imagine that somewhere, sometime, they've called me worse, but I don't fucking care. Tit for tat motherfuckers.

Think it was obese underperformer or something like that, but that actually made me laugh coming from that slender mulit gold medal winner. When the nutjob lady called me out on DD for questioning her DL improving from just cultfit more than in her PL days i realized i was dealing with some folks who were a cool-aid splash away from Jonestown. Now i have had some contact with some very nice cult members. For the GPP set this is an OK approach sans the pukie/rhabdo thing. But the mindless chanting that one size fits all and wackjobbery that seems to circle the Sedona Settlement and other true believers drives me to wield my rapier like wit in defense of old school Specificity.

What is the difference between a cultfit chick on steroids and a gorilla?

X-fit watching is a hobby. Slow motion trainwreck.

Great fun, with steriod babes, skinny guys, an extremely tragic lead character, and it just keeps on giving.

Like hating the Yankees, it just feels good.

More like this.

There was this Hungarian place in San Francisco, Paprikas Fono, that had a huge black pot in the entrance way. They had a goulash (sp?) simmering there for, say, at least ten years.
They served from it, kept throwing in new stuff, but it simmered away the whole time.

That's kind of x-fit watching, only they have a rat fall in every now and then for flavor.
