Crossfit has the reputation to easily cause injuries. When doing the exercises with heavy weights while your technique is not up to par that will definitely be the case.
And this is where this Crossfit gym excels. The major focus of the coaches is not to push you to extreme weights but to make sure you are doing your exercises correctly and that you protect your body from injury. That means that they will tell you to decrease weight even though you might feel like you can lift it. Trust me, they know better.

It's a place where I feel safe to explore where my limits lie because I know they have my back, sometimes literally :)
On top of that there is a feel of community. This is a place where everyone cheers on everyone, where you feel supported in your efforts, even if you're just starting to get into exercise. And the coaches play a facilitating role in that too.
Leave your ego at the door, give your trust to the coaches because they do know best and are their to help you progress and enjoy the fun of working out together.
It's been a great experience. Just simply love the place.
