That's a problem.
Luckily, they have the RRG.
I guess a thing like that would definitely be necessary-
I don't know too much about that group, to be honest. But I do assume that affiliates pay them hefty premiums. Hopefully, in the case of good affiliates, they'd go to bat for them- I can't imagine it'd be cheap.

And it keeps on getting funnier, every single time I visit it!
I broke mah ass I broke mah ass... Sadly I thought my inclusion of the three-headed dog jpg in there set the tone for the sarcasm with which I typed that. Unfortunately it failed. Miserably.... I ought to have opted the bit about how expensive it must be to feed three-headed pit bulls but fuck, I didn't. Ah well. Lesson learned I guess.
With the influx of new former @fitters to the forumz, what do you think is the average time a normal cult-resistant person stays with the program before coming to his/her senses ?
i was drinking the koolaid for two years then started picking and choosing my wods and trying to stick to the strength stuff. I continue to use a cf facility and have a great trainer who isn't on the koolaid. I like the situation I am in but I also see all the faults with couch and @fit.

Fuck me. Probably.
@fit is spreading like the herp at my gym after the Gaymes were on ESPN. And I saw on da Pibbs that there is going to be a "Strongman Fitness" competition at the Arnold that screams of cashing in on the @fit craze.
Thank gawd I'm getting fat enough that no one at the gym asks me if I @fit anymore.

Just try taking your rings or a KB to the park and getting a little workout in the fresh air. Used to be able to do that and you'd maybe get some strange looks if anyone even noticed at all. Now it's like a fucking beacon for @f'ers to come talk to you. Never mind you've been training with those tools since before @fit was a gleam in Assman' eye.
I don't have a lot of experience with vampires, but I have hunted werewolves. I shot one once, but by the time I got to it, it had turned back into my neighbor's dog.

I used to watch a lot of NASCAR, hoping for crashes. I watched the X-Games a lot too, for that very same reason. The Biggest Loser has the potential to get a whole lot more interesting in this particular regard, should Bob decided to start the fatties on WOD's.
Then again, this could also be that final signal the guy who rides the Pale Horse is looking for; it is 2012 now after all.
This is no different from that blonde chick who is apparently famous for something or other doing an "@fit" workout on Shape.com that included "sumo deadlifts" with a 10lb dumbbell.
Reebok knows that once they've soaked the diehard Koolaid drinking @fitters for sixty dollar WODshorts they need to homogenize and pussify(!) @fit to make it more palatable and marketable to the mainstream (ie: people who buy a whole bunch of new exercise clothes and then go through the motions at big box gyms).
Will this be the year we finally see open revolt between HQbok and the affiliates?
Watch for big box gyms to have to start carrying insurance riders if they allow @F-like activities or have similar equipment, or for insurance to start dropping gyms if they allow it to avoid the liability.
Being very much like a religion, the mainstream sell-out of @F will now cause the rise of multiple splinter groups out of the upcoming rubble.

I've been waiting on this since the first Reebok whispers. Really, since @fit started getting super popular a few years ago. We'll get to witness infighting over what "real" @fit is, who can call themselves true @fitters, and why every other version of @fit except what a particular gym does is shit.
It'll make the kettlewars and DD revolt look like a slap fight. I can't wait.

If you are dragging faggy-ass rings to the park with you and are not a lifelong gymnast you ARE an @Fitter.
Let's not even get started on the kettlebell.
Stop the insanity.
Bullshit. Nothing wrong with doing some pull-ups and dips or some swings outdoors. Dan John even had an article stating as much. And if Dan says it, it must be gospel. Straight from the Angle's lips to Dan's ears to the pen.
