I've had similar things with the gym. Felt shithouse when I left the house and got to the gym and then just smashed it. Dunno why. Feel good afterwards though. :)
I like the relatively more controlled gym environment - I can see myself pulling a back muscle or tweaking something in the crossfit/gladiator world. If I wasn't doing other training as well I'd probably give it a crack.

CrossFit gets a bad press in the weight lifting forums. I think they do things quickly without much thought about form.
My friend goes to Gladiator training and says it is good fun - although hard. The groups may be 8 at most and I presume they vary as there are different times and types of classes. I want to try it but I would have probs fitting it in in my schedule.
Look out for Bikram Yoga. 90 mins in 40 degree C heat. It really is great. It is harder than 3 hours of squash. I’ve tested that. Same poses every time you go and you push yourself - the instructor tells you what you should be doing - you do your best each time. The oddest thing I have found (and another guy said the same) is that if you feel fit and ready for it - it kills you. If you feel tired and drained - you feel superb afterwards. Odd really.
