@“Ryan” Some of us are gluttons for punishment, my friend, and the more you forbid me from attending your class, the more often I'm apt to show up. I plan on holding the title "Worst Crossfitter Ever" from here on out, and when the time is right? It's YOU I'll be thanking from the podium! See you soon.

@Sarah
I attempted the rowing last week and again this morning, but since my supposed “banishment” from “Ryan’s” class, I think it’s safe to say I’ll be there more often. I’ll see you there!

Dang you guys make me sound like Hitler. If I recall correctly, there are over 15 people at each one of my classes, and 4 of the six crossfitters of the month have been morning crew peeps. This isnt the Y or Ozark Fitness. If you guys dont like this ‘Torture’ then why do you come back?? >:-)

Uli, this was HILARIOUS!! Having been subject to “Ryan’s” abuse in a similar manner this post literally had me spitting out my water I was laughing so hard. I think we should meet properly. I think we were in a rowing class together last week, but I was sucking wind so bad I kinda lost all consciousness of who was around me. How to see you in box soon.

@Nick as long as you're reasonably amused, I'm good with that.

@Meggin Kremer I've already made the commitment to these lobsters I've bought specifically for the purpose of tormenting "Ryan". Damn, these things are snappy.

As a Springfield Crossfit member for almost a year now, I feel like I have to comment. This almost made me pee my pants. While I have wholeheartedly subscribed to the cult-like tendencies of the “sweat box” and love absolutely every minute of it, I am not so glossy-eyed that I can’t admit that most of the things we do are absolutely insane. And yes, most things include the lifting bar and are accompanied by loud, brute-like grunts. When I first started Crossfit, I can recall several times when the famous “Ryan” stood next to me throughout the entire workout so he could critique my form. He once tied my sister’s shoestrings together so her feet would “stay in the right place.” It gets better. Trust me. But you should probably bring a cooler of lobster with you anyway, just in case.
