Final verdict



I like to use some Crossfit workouts in my regular workout, albeit at a much lower intensity level. In the forums and the material featured on their website, they don’t give you any guidance to use when scaling the workouts to reach your intensity level.

The biggest mistake you can make is to perform Crossfit workouts as is. You will need to modify them slightly depending on the equipment you have access to, the level of training and the level of mental strength.

Turbulence Training workouts, on the other hand, can be taken as is. There is no guesswork. All the information is provided to you. If you need to make them harder, just add another set, more reps, or add weight.

Craig Ballantyne also shows you how to make a workout easier. Turbulence training was developed with the average individual in mind. Crossfit was developed with the athlete in mind.

It is up to you to make your decision. But I recommend turbulence training for the average individual.
