I know there is a box (Crossfit Hammond) near you. Give them a ring and they would probably give you an intro and let you check out the gym.
I actually went to two free sessions a little while back.
Aaaand that's the main reason why I was turned off of xfit. There was a lot of douchebaggery afoot, and it left a bad taste in my mouth. It's also $150+ a month, whereas my gym is $30/month and has all the same basic equipment. In fact, the only thing I can't do in my gym that I could at the other place is bang the medicine balls off the wall.
And, I like going on
my time. Not theirs.
