What advice do you have for new (or experienced!) CrossFitters? 

for new CrossFitters I would say give it time. When I started I decided to give it 6 months to see if it was right for me and during that time honestly I had some doubts but I hung in there to keep my 6 month commitment and am glad I did. Improvement will come.
