So, my family and I all attend the same gym (Gold's). I pay for myself, and my parents pay for the rest of the family. My parents don't want me to pay for a membership and instead want me to be put under their family plan which would be cool because then I wouldn't be paying anything.

If I was able to go to Gold's while under my parents plan, I'm thinking about becoming a member at a crossfit gym near my house because they have specific equipment Gold's doesn't have.

I go to Gold's 4 days a week (Mon, Wed, Th, Fri) and do strength training. I'm wondering if there is a plan that could be concocted so I could still do strength training 4 days a week at Gold's AND go to the crossfit gym once or twice a week to do plyometrics/calisthenics/etc WITHOUT it being detrimental to the restoration of my body.

Prepare to get ridiculed for crossfit!

Considering crossfit has little nancy names for their workouts which most of the time corporate many muscle groups together, a plan that allows you to do strength training 4 times a week and crossfit 2 times a week cannot be optimal.

Your body needs rest, just like you figured out yourself.

Only way I could see this work if you trim down your gymtime a lot!

Monday - lower body
Wednesday - upper body
Saturday - crossfit

But even then, crossfit does not fit within any strength / bodybuilding routine in my eyes.

not sure what the question is here, if that's what you want to do then go for it. if you're sleeping and eating enough make it happen

You'll gas yourself and won't make the gains you need doing both
I'd suggest just doing cardio at your normal gym
Crossfit for the rest of your lifting

Dont do it, just cardio the days left

Depending on how you setup your strength program I would do your conditioning the day after your easiest lift day, ideally friday then do your cross-fit saturday and be rested for lifting monday.

Better yet incorporate whatever calisthenics or conditioning exercises you can into your lifting days in the form of any type of HIIT protocol between sets and whatever equipment specific things you could only do at the crossfit gym do that on an off day and you shouldn't have any problems being ready for the next week's lifting.

Going to a 3 day split would be much better for you as well if you wanted to go to the crossfit gym.
