Read this the other day and its been bouncing around in my head. Upfront, I own a CF gym and do all the programming.
If you're consistently attending a gym 4-5 days a week the workouts shouldn't be "all over the place"... anymore. I realize that was crossfit the better part of a decade ago but I really hope it has grown up.
In my opinion crossfit gyms should be using general strength progressive overload cycles mixed with conditioning workouts which shouldn't leave people sore every time they workout. The program should be well explained to the members and while varied the workouts should not be random.
You as a client should be able to ask what the current programming goals are and the owner/staff should be able to provide a bunch of context.
I'd look like such an ass if you're a member of my gym, but whatever.
Also, if you're always so sore, scale the workouts and intensity back a bit man!
