BeStrong Strength and Conditioning has expanded their already awesome free Saturday program to include Monday through Thursday evenings during the month of March.  Stopping by last night, I was impressed by how open the gym felt with 7 of us in their instead of 15 of us.

The features I like are still present including plenty of weight and a group of like minded folks to train with.  It is reasonably priced, a short drive from the house and membership allows 24 hour access.

The advantage of CrossFit Golden is still the proximity to my office.  I have certainly developed more stamina by doing Crossfit several times per week.  At the same time, I have also pushed too hard to stay within workout guidelines (attempting to do 20 kipping pull-ups after warming up with 6 jumping pull-ups and some band pull aparts).  If there were a convenient $10 to $20/month gym nearby I would likely opt for that, but $2000/year is not a showstopper amount of money to spend on my well being.  The challenge will be the summer time when I will be opting for more running and bicycling.
