Crossfit Nauset Terrible Box!! CHRIS LAMARCO CHRIS LAMARCO Crossfit Nauset Terrible Box!! Orleans Massachusets

In the 6 years I've been CrossFitting and the multiple drop ins I've done around the world, this was by far the least welcome I've ever felt. My wife and I are avid CrossFitters and she is a L1 Coach. We stopped by during an open gym, so we wouldn't interrupt a workout, to get set up for a drop in and buy some T-Shirts. There was one coach and one athlete in the gym. The coach glanced back at us, but said nothing. No "hi" or "I'll be with you shortly" or "we're almost done" ...absolutely nothing.

We had no idea how long this workout was, but didn't have infinite time to wait.



I waited for 5 min and I edged over. He spins around and says "10 min and I'll be with you" in a tone that really made me feel like I'm the jerk for interrupting. I have a policy that I should never have to beg to give a business money, so we walked out.

Also, the athletes form on the cleans she was performing was extremely poor. The bar was yanked vertically from the from the floor and caught with a severely arched back with her legs splayed out like a starfish. The coach not only didn't correct her, but yelled "Yeah! Great Job!" Both my wife and I cringed as we've both seen athletes get injured doing this. We both understand form can suffer under the fatigue of the WOD and coaching form mid workout is challenging, but when it comes to athlete safety sometimes you have to hit "pause" and correct.
