It's probably the best thing I've ever invested for my health. I currently deadlift at 325lbs, my best time for a mile is 6:28 and I'm able to do a couple of handstand push-ups .

People can complain it's too expensive, but it's pretty much a given you won't get the same results working on your own compared to going to a CrossFit gym.
