CrossFit Journal: Best Bang For Your Buck Home Gym

In CrossFit Journal's article on 09/09/09 author Matthew Hall shows you how to outfit your CrossFit Gym for a mere $1500.00 to be able to complete about 80% of the main site's [[WOD]]. CrossFit has always been a minimalist movement entailing that you should get your fitness outside of "the box". This box represents all things commercial gym related. The expensive and inadequate Lat Pull-Down Machine is replaced with any bar you can grab your two hands on to perform [[pull ups]]. The overpriced treadmills are replaced with any ground your two feet can step on to run etc… This minimalist movement needs some form of equipment at some fundamental point. In his recent article, Hall meticulously sorts through all the main-site WODs from January 2008 to mid-June 2009 to determine which of the minimalist equipment gets the most use for it's dollar. Hall's analysis will help any would be garage gym owner determine what piece of equipment is best to buy first. Subscribe to the CrossFit Journal and Click here to read more.
