People think I dislike classes but I actually just dislike people banging their heads on the wall spending time doing stuff that doesn’t make them better and feeling bad about themselves over it
Classes are great for the things they are great for
But they do not always offer a complete training solution tailored to your specific weaknesses.
Think about this: a lot of programs have a 10-20 minute strength piece and a metcon each weekday. If you do 4 CrossFit classes you’ve done 50-100 minutes of strength training in a week. Enough to improve, sure, but far from a “strength focused” program. Not bad. But not enough to rapidly progress a common weakness either.
And you don’t have to buy 1:1 coaching or the fanciest program on the market to close the gap. There are so many free or cheap resources out there. Like buy my base gymnastics program if you want or just watch my free YouTube videos and pick 5-10 hard drills and do them twice a week until they’re not hard
It can be simple and it can be free/cheap
If your gym offers accessory classes maybe go to one and see if it’s helpful. Give up one sweat sesh per week so you can progress
