Good for you! I hope it goes well and that maybe it can be the start of a new adventure for you.

 

Let us know how it goes.

I just signed up at my local box as well.  Good luck to you! I'm scared to death of tomorrow so may the force be with us.

Today was much easier than the Saturday classes I have been to. Lots of talking and a baseline test of 200 m run, 40 squats, 30 sit ups, 20 push-ups, 10 jump up pull-ups, 200 m run again for time. How did it go for you adorkable?

2nd class tonight. Another easy one, only challenge was 8 rounds of Tabata squats at the end!

Sorry I'm just not responding! It's been a long month.  I'm almost through what my box calls "on-ramp".  It's two classes twice a week.  So far so good.  What I've noticed so far is that I need to clean up my diet and tailor it to the workouts.  Otherwise, I'm severely sore afterwards.  I'm a self-proclaimed nerd (I mean we all are right?) and I have zero, and I'm talking zero rhythm... or coordination, which turns out to be a bit of a disadvantage.  Take wall balls for example, I have one hell of a time connecting the throw & squat together.  

 

How's it going for you?

Pretty well. I like the workouts, but I wish the class was a little more structured. We have classes mon., tues., thurs. nights and a different instructor each of those nights, and they seem to be "third tier".

I've only even seen the owner and head instructor a couple of times in the gym, usually just as he's leaving, never worked with him. 2nd in rank is Ginny, who taught 2 of the 3 Saturday classes I went to and I really like her.

I really like all the instructors, but we usually start class with the questions "what did you do last class?" or "have you done these?". With only 2 fundamentals class left I still don't feel comfortable with most of the lifts or movements. Description of course on line said recovery and nutrition would be covered. We only had a guided recovery one night, and nothing's been mentioned about nutrition.
