Everything on the Crossfit site is free as well. Many of the coaches there (Mark Rippetoe, Josh Everett, Dave Castro, Mike Burgener...etc.) are high level strength and conditioning coaches. I have personally emailed them before and received responses to any of my questions regarding fitness......free.

I think getting defensive about crossfit is overlooking something very important here. Silverback6 just provided another resource anyone can use to help improve their performance as an athlete. I have used XLathlete in the past and have found it to be extremely helpful, full of exercise videos, programs, and great articles written by qualified people in the performance enhancement field. And actually, I've also referred to Crossfit, Mountain Athlete, Blitz and a number of other resources on occasion. IMHO, XLathlete is of greater quality, but thats not the point I am trying to make. Take any resource you can, think critically, and learn somthing.

Agreed. I just wasn't sure if Silverback was under the impression that information on crossfit was gained at a cost since the title to the thread was "Great alternative to Crossfit." I've never thought that crossfit was the only way to superior fitness (that has been discussed here before). There are a lot of great fitness programs pushing people to exercise in a way that is applicable to real life scenarios. If that is the goal....it has my vote.
