Honestly crossfit has been great (as long as you can swing the monthly). I do the group classes and it's great because (1) instructors take care of the programming, (2) they offer modifications if you really need them, (3) people are generally pretty chill (def less roid rage than at the gym), (4) I feel like I learned a ton of skills I can take with me traveling and I'm stuck with bad hotel gyms that have a couple dumbbells and kettlebells.

Yes crossfit is very effective! The program I am taking at home has many elements from crossfit. Plank or push-up for example, really does not require equipment and so effective for strengthening the core! All professional ballet dancers do that. I will soon be traveling for a week. My daily training program (TLB from https://trainlikeaballerina.com/ ) can be accessed online. I can do the exercise in any hotel. Elevé, relevé, tendu, frappé, slow motion fondue, and many streching exercises are even doable in a fully stuffed long-haul plane. Let's train into a healthy and prosperous 2024!
