#22 Re: Re: How About NO2014-01-07 00:45#17: Emma Graham - Re: How About NO Sometimes I wonder if CF made your comprehension skills worse off. Fitness was never a fad; CF is THE fad that couldn't go extinct sooner, in the same vein as P90X. Exercise isn't the problem; branding and packaging it as a must-have in order to be "fit", that other options are inferior, all in order to make money is. In order to attach the CF name, a certain amount has to be paid to CF Inc as royalty, and that is the exact bone of contention. Working out should be fun and affordable, that much is agreed. But CF as a whole is a money making machine as admitted: "accumulate $50,000 of fitness equipment and assets". It viciously redirects business away from legitimate personal trainers who want to earn an honest living, just so that that one "founder" and his cohorts get all the dough. That's a ridiculous scheme that I will never get behind. One can always workout by himself/herself without spending silly money on fads like this. Find a suitable and motivated exercise partner or two, look up youtube tutorials, be unafraid to ask questions at the ARC and cultivate that tenacity to push yourself within a limit can go a long way towards self improvement, without the need for CF. If only people would figure that out sooner instead of being sheep with resolutions every year, eager to jump onto the next fitness bandwagon while these CF people laugh their way to the bank.

But the more important thing is to find something that you like doing and are passionate about, that's the "must-have" to get fit. In all the CrossFit boxes I've been a part of, including Tricolour, it's the fact that the community and experience keeps people wanting to come back that make it great. I think that in this case "accumulate $50,000 of fitness equipment and assets" is more a testament to the dedication of the founders and popularity of the club amongst members than it is an example of a money making machine. The issue here isn't about making money, it's about keeping a NONPROFIT club running at Queen's. One can always work out however they'd like. Injuries are a risk that comes with any exercise, but one that can be minimized when you work out around coaches that are qualified, like the founders of this club. Motivation is key, but people find it in different ways. Some people love the ARC, some people will swear by their personal trainer, and some people like CrossFit. Point is, people should be free to have the choice to do what works best for them. The founders of Tricolour have done an amazing job growing this club and getting a group of students passionate about getting fit, in an environment that they feel works for them. It would really be a shame to see it have to stop. |
