If you have ever left the gym unsatisfied, you should give CrossFit a shot. Unlike conventional gyms, CrossFit has a daily W.O.D. (workout of the day) which their trainers guide you through during one of their many daily group sessions. The classes will have you flipping tires, doing handstand push-ups and slinging weight bars like an Olympic lifter. The workouts are the same for everyone but can be scaled according to fitness level, making CrossFit great even for gym newbies.
