    As a Personal Trainer, that was such an irresponsible way to train Barkley. None of that is good for Barkley.

    The dude is not going to be able to function properly after that.

    smh. It's a shame.

    Well it depends on what people are claiming it does...is it going to help you compared to sitting on your butt all day? Yeah, but is it the best program? Nah.

    Just like with personal trainers, there's bad crossfit trainers and good ones. Personally, i think a big issue is how quickly they try to do the reps...the dedicated and more experienced trainers/clients can usually pull it off, but other people lose concentration and therefore their form.

    Barkley's anterior rotation in his hips seems to be getting worse since he played though, so he probably should straighten that out first before doing crossfit.

    He would've killed those workouts in his 20's.

    Crossfit is crap if you have terrible form otherwise it is awesome. I do it and I have seen amazing results. My max deadlift, bench press, squat is as much as anybody that does heavy weight training and I can do any cardio(running, biking, rowing) as fast or faster than people that just focus on that.

    That place looks like a total dump and the trainer looks like they don't know what the heck they're doing. Seriously Barkley, you have a enough money to go to a real fancy gym and you settled with that? You disappoint me.

    Maybe someone can clear this up, but i think it was a bet they made on air, to do crossfit? Most of their gyms will have the same look, but yeah, he could have probably gone with a better crossfit location.

    My back fell out just watching Charles do those cleans. I bet he was hurting for a few days.

    Must those ladies throw the bar down on every single clean?
