There is nothing wrong with crossfit

/fit/ was fun at the beginning, but it's starting to get repetitive. I don't know where to go now.

I like its supportive atmosphere and how it has inspired a number of people to incorporate physical fitness training into their lives, but trainer irresponsibility and the less-than-safe exercises prevent me from endorsing it.

One trainer supervising a dozen people doing a random assortment of ballistic exercises, regardless of their gender, age, etc, to train for a sport they will never compete in.

Trainer certifications standards are a joke, anyone with a free weekend can emerge the following week with Crossfit credentials.

The functional strength fad has also produced ridiculous exercises that carry serious risks for a laundry list of injuries, such as the jumping jack press, sumo deadlift high pull, and rebound box jumps.

So if you were to enlist at a Crossfit club, you would find yourself performing silly and potentially dangerous exercises under the supervision of a coach who may or may not possess the requisite knowledge of a personal trainer, all in the name of muscle confusion or whatever.

The one good thing about crossfit is that unlike a lot of fad fitness phenomena, it endorces and celebrates the requirement for genuine effort and dicipline.

However, crossfit is bad for a number of reasons:

1. The gyms areludicrously expensive. Three to fives times more so than standard chain full service gyms like gold's or LA fitness.
2. The trainers are under trained for the programs they are expected to teach
3. The programs are relatively ineffective, as they employ complicated, multifacited exercises and attempt to combine strength training and cardio. A program combining traditional slow and simple compound lifts and seperate high intensity cardio is much betfer.
4. It's just not safe. Even for an actual athlete, doing light weight olympic lifts for many reps and interspacing them with quick, high coordination body movements would be dangerous, and yet crossfit teaches this shit to kids and old people.
5. It did not create, but highly proliferated the "functional strength" meme. All freeweight exercises build functional strength.

Explosive exercises (like oly or gymnastic lifts) performed for high reps are a one-way ticket to snap city. There's a reason oly lifters train triples, doubles, and singles with higher rep work focusing on strength lifts (deads, squats, OHP, etc). The explosive and full-body nature of the lifts means they are incredibly CNS taxing, so doing them for high reps means there will almost certainly be a breakdown in form, especially with untrained people. Which is the real crux of the issue: an oly lifter could definitely do oly lifts for reps (even if they never would, other than as a warm-up) safely, but that's because they have trained the proper form for years and can do much higher weights. If you take a relatively untrained person ask them to do an explosive lift for reps, their CNS simply can't handle it and the lift mechanics aren't ingratiated enough for it to be safe.
