I don't believe this to be true, you see, cross-fit is not a combination of exercises performed to be more healthy, fit and mobile.

agree. poor practitioners of any sport can give that sport a bad name and the opposite is true too.
some of the guys and girls at the recent crossfit games here in Oz were amazing.

After actually having had something to do with crossfit since being here I agree with Admin.
Still completely disagree with kipping or olympic lifts for non-competing athletes (which a lot of the better coaches still do)

Happens in a lot of places, and is encouraged by a lot of 'organisations' as well.. tried a freestyle karate class once and i was wondering WTF they were doing pretending to kick. When i tried some traditional karate kicks they told me 'no, do it our way'...
yeah how dare they encourage those competing

I have no issues with cross-fit, it is a sport, my only concern is that a neophyte migh view this as a means to get "fit"
When you play a given sport, if you except the risk of injury is high, that's all good.
To be the best you can at the sport chosen, you've got to; practice, practice, practice the skills involved in that sport.
The purpose of exercise in the gym is to reduce the risk of injury in the sport played, I beleive the gym should be the safest place to do this.
You identify the main muscles used in the sport played and you find exercise that improve the strength through the entire range of motion.

Allow me to paraphrase: too much time complaining about crossfit, not enough time lifting.
