Blowing $125 a month doesn't make sense unless you're well off or trying to bang higher quality chicks.
Cross fit is just a nonsensical fitness routine.
Some of us are well off, and all of us are trying to bang higher quality! Ask Fisto if it is nonsensical. But it is not routine, because every workout is different. It sounds like you have never tried it.

I lift to gain size and put up higher numbers.
The functional aspect uses heavy Olympic lifts and power lifts. But there is not a focused linear progression on single exercises. Crossfit also has an important aerobic aspect. Crossfit says "We can do what you do almost as well as you, and you can't do our stuff at all." For example, one elite weightlifter could clean and jerk 400+ pounds. So they timed him doing "Fran", using "only" 135 pounds (the normal prescription is 95 pounds). It consists of 21 clean and jerks, 21 pull-ups, then 15 clean and jerks, 15 pull-ups, and 9 clean and jerks, 9 pull-ups. The best Crossfit guys do Fran in four minutes, but the elite lifter took 20 minutes!
I suggest trying Crossfit for a month or two. You will learn something and see if you like it.
