It depends a lot on the gym you choose. Some CF gyms are extremely RAH-RAH-MILITARY and hardcore focused on competitions, they swallow the "party line" hook, line and sinker. Others (such as the one I use) are a lot more informal and use the WODs and such as examples and suggestions for workouts, and are very good at scaling the routines for those of us with a bit more mass to heft around. The "fittest on Earth, no room for weaklings" thing may be appealing to some people, but it also raises the bar for entry needlessly high.
