first i'd like to say thanks to Jared for his time, coaching, and conversation. it was greatly appreciated. in the beginning i wasn't sure what to expect and even after warming up i wasn't sure i was in the right place. every gym is different, some are more similar than others. my objective was to categorize another one but after this trip i realized it's not always an easy thing to do. there are many factors that can play into the experience of walking into someone elses arena and, positive or negative, your first impression may not always be correct. the quality of the posted "wod", trainers on hand, and intensity of the other "athletes" all play a factor in the overall effectiveness of the particular "box". my experience is relatively limited in that i've only visited 4 affiliates and been a part of one or two other similar type gyms. that being said, i've seen a wide enough variety that it's already quite apparent what to look for. unfortunately i think some gyms may be trying to do too much in one space at the same time and my goals have very little to do with "losing 20 inches in the first two weeks". i could be over analyzing things but no matter what, i'm sure of one thing, there are very few other places like "the shop", and i miss it.

I would take a look at CrossFit Wichita today. When you visited back in 2010, we were just transitioning from a Boot Camp weight loss only program (hence the lose 20 inches in 2 weeks) to our CrossFit programming. Today we have a 6,000 sq ft facility and have seven CF level 1 certified instructors.
