    What I'm wondering if how the "coaches" could legally call themselves "coaches." Like, really?

    I honestly couldn't watch any more than a minute of it. I was expecting someone's arm to fall off, or the bar to come crashing down, killing the lifter.

    Wondering why they would want to advertise the name of their gym before that video. I have heard of quite a few injuries during Crossfit. If this is how they train then I'm not surprised.

    And this is supposed to reflect the sport of "elite fitness"?

    As a true athlete, this sickens me.

    Here's my sport:

    I noticed the dog too. I wondered if someone dropped the bar on it. That was terrible. Those people are nuts.

    Lol there is actually a video response from the ppl @ that gym. Can't remember where I saw it or the title of video.

    Basically they just called everyone haters for telling them what retards they are.

    I'm glad crossfit is such a fitness fad right now, it forces more people to actually seek out CERTIFIED personal trainers such as myself :)

    Yeah, nice propoganda piece aginst CrossFit. I like the way people make them the villian with no understanding of what's happening. Educate yourself first, and you'll "get it". It's not what it looks like.

    What exactly are they doing wrong?

    If you do not know the sport or how it is done how would you know if it is being done wrong?

    There is poor, improper form and then there is moving the body differently to achieve a result. Most people are in the former, even when they think they are doing it right.

    Everyone seemed to be having fun.

    My jaw was on the floor. Granted they all looked like they were having fun, but they were off on form and several appeared to almost drop the bar on their head or the people surrounding them. Someone was bound to get hurt.

    And this is why some people consider Crossfit to be like a cult.

    Because people can look at that video and go "I don't see a problem."
