What is more funny about the cult-like following it has, is the actual cult leader that started crossfit. There cannot possibly be another business person on this planet that's failed upwards more than him.... an over the hill, unintelligent hippy, with no clue about anything who doesn't even keep financial records. He just licenses the name and they certify trainers with their own made up certification.
His entire explanation of crossfit in one interview I watched with him was "I was watching personal trainers for years and realized they were doing it wrong" and that's it. There was nothing about anything he said that even remotely suggested he had a clue about anything fitness related.
Since there is no actual crossfit program that has been defined to my knowledge and all users of the name are basically just doing what they want, it's not proper to dismiss it as being good or bad.
