Thanks Rusty.
Yeh I'm not sure why there's negative media attention in some parts against CrossFit. In some ways I'm sure the 'globo-gyms' (fitness first franchises etc) hate the whole CrossFit movement because it's a challenge to their whole business model.
Certainly some people get injured from doing CrossFit, as they do in any sport, and there's likely some bad operators just as there are in other businesses. I've heard plenty of criticism against fitness first memberships and the way they lock you in et.c
For the good CrossFit gyms, with good coaches, who take you through proper warm ups, emphasize proper technique etc, then injuries are rare.
I'm seeing a physio every so often since starting CrossFit, but not because of injuries, but because I *want* to improve my mobility in my shoulders, hips and knees. I don't want my body to hold me back from being able to do some things. I know a lot of others go for the same reason.
So they're going because of CrossFit, but not because of injury - but to keep their body supple and moving well to be able to perform at its best.
