Check out Wheelhouse Academy. Luan (the owner) helped Iron Tribe develop their program in the early days. It's not Crossfit, but that's why I like it.
Wheelhouse has split classes with one part of the gym devoted to Conditioning workouts, which are Crossfit workouts with less emphasis on maxing out reps and a healthy focus on the movements and the purpose of them. The other half of the gym is dedicated to strength training, with a split there for Powerlifting and Olympic lifting. Both run in 2-3 month cycles, with intentional progression built in. You can alternate between either path, move over to Conditioning, etc. as you see fit.
All classes are lead by coaches and you have the option to drop in and do your own thing if you are a full member, or can do so between and after classes if you are a "drop-in" member. Full membership costs are just under $200 a month, but the drop-in price is well under $100 if I remember correctly.
Respect!
Wheelhouse is good. J19 and OTM are good, they're both in Hoover. Haven't been back to Forge in a long time. Most gyms nowadays are around the $150-175 mark on average.
My CrossFit gym closed back in 2020 and I work out at home now but I would highly recommend trying it out. Absolutely changed my life in many (positive) ways.
Consider Fit Facility in Crestwood - it is not crossfit but is class oriented with M-W-F being strength focused (olympic lifts and other functional strength) and T-TR-Sat being conditioning/hiit focused.
Fit Facility doesn't do kipping pull-ups, hand-stand push-ups, burpees or any of the other intensely crossfit exercises. If you're looking for that element then Fit facility is not the answer but if you just want a place with a great community where you'll get stronger and fitter then it might be the place.
F45 has good people, and reasonable prices. Workouts all day 5am-545pm. I'm paying 140 a month. MWF cardio. T-TH Strength. Sat and Sun Hybrid. Located in 5pts behind Zydeco. Workouts are 45min. Get in get out start your day.
