Provided by YP.comI recently went into an Iron Tribe in Birmingham, AL back in November passing through on vacation and was blown away by how much of a “globo gym” this resembled minus the machines. Reminded me of a small room inside a mini Urban Active or LA Fitness. Coming from a well established, name known around the world, Crossfit box, I feel they are trying to be like a Crossfit gym for the rich people and forgetting the actual historic meaning behind Crossfit. You walk in and all the coaches and other so called coaches wearing probably high priced, iron creased, athletic polo shirts and slacks some with dress shoes on. Then they have all these supplements stacked on shelves that are all fancy shelves, and a cooler with pre made meals and energy drinks. Really? your that lazy you have to rely on other ppl to make your food? and choose what you eat? Am I at Urban Active? Only thing missing is the smoothie bar. Do you see Crossfit HQs out here doing anything like this. Hell No. From reading other reviews about ITF it seems like they wanted to change the name of Crossfit to get people back into fitness by not being scared off by the movements that are performed in a Crossfit Workout. This is why we Americans are spoiled and lazy and act the way they do(Arrogant and do it for me attitude). I feel these people are in it for the MONEY and not changing lives and turning Crossfit back into the whole “globo gym” by using Crossfit style workouts.

Provided by YP.comIf you are a 20-30 something male then go ahead and spend the money (way too expensive in my opinion) to join and take part in this exercise program. Cross Fit, after all, is used by the US military for fitness and physical training, so 20-30 ish males is the correct demographic. But if you are a 50 something female, don't do it! Too hard, too macho, not fun at all and somewhat intimidating. Join Zumba instead and have great fun AND get a great work out dancing.
I think you would be surprised to learn that we our current membership demographic breaks down as follows: 20 - 29 23% 30 - 39 43% 40 - 49 24% 50 + 11% We have more members over 40 than under 30! We are not ashamed or embarrassed of our pricing. I think most of our members would tell you that it is worth every penny!
