Catalyst Athletics is selling a new "black sheep" shirt, which is pretty funny.

Doing @Fit does not make you an athlete.
Met the man, he's a great dude.

Listen, he may be an alright person. I don't know him.

But he is certainly a fucking dolt if he thinks training chumps at his @Fit BOX means he is training athletes.

There in lies the rub. A very fit person can be unathletic as fuck and a very athletic person can be unfit as fuck.

A black sheep is still a sheep.
Crosstraining isn't crossfitting. These regular people doing crossfit just need to embrace their mediocrity (not as bad as it sounds), and get on a sensible exercise program and eat healthy most of the time. Let the douchebags keep their wallet chains and all that other fun (for us) shit. But they've probably all read at least part of this thread, so they are running out of excuses for not waking the fuck up.

I suppose what really makes X-fit standout is that no one cares enough to copy or imitate their bullshit.

And yet everyone who crosstrains is accused of ripping them off.

Untrue.

Is a french-canadien knockoff. All the silliness and adult romper room of @fit, none of the branding.

They've been up and running for a while now, and look: no lawsuits against them!

They've even got dirty french girls, which are my favorite kind

This thread is in here somewhere already (within the last few pages I imagine): http://board.crossfit.com/showthread.php?t=54173

But WTF is wrong with these niggers? Read the comments. Just utterly brimming with faggotry.

I was briefly hired to run a gym that never ended up getting off the ground (a CATZ franchise) in Colorado.

The CATZ facility I did visit in Arizona looked a lot like this X-Fit shit.

Look at the sad, lonely little bar in the corner. And no additional plates to be found, except the couple on the carpet.

CATZ is different in that they actually work with athletes; young and more advanced. They ran a conditioning program for my son's soccer club. Highly organized with much "sport specific" drilling.

@fit would've had a bunch of 10 y-o soccer players swinging handleballs over their heads and squatting pvc to make them "elite" soccer players.

Of course it is different but my point was that it looks somewhat like that place pictured. I have either worked for or been offered jobs by all the major sports performance gyms at one time or another (Velocity, Athletic Republic, CATZ, API).

And the adult training that was going on at CATZ in AZ was certainly not much different than would be offered at that gym. I would've had to really re-tool their approach if that job ended up working out.
