[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been training with a cross fit trainer for months now and have gotten a lot stronger.  I can totally see how some trainers would go nuts in trying to make you do things you can't/shouldn't do.  My trainer puts safety first above all.  If something hurts we stop.  If he sees I'm not yet able to do something he is not going to make me suffer through it.  There is no benefit to that.  So, my thought is that the concept of CF is really good, but there are a lot of quack trainers.  [/quote]

Everyone thinks THEIR trainer prioritizes form and safety. Until they get hurt nd get some space to reflect on the intensity of the workouts and the environment that drives people not to speak up when they can't do something. Are you working out individually like personal training or in a group setting? The group setting intensity is one of the dangerous parts. Group workouts are good for encouragement and accountability, but unlike a Zumba xlass, Crossfit creates pressure to go harder. Spin classes are more intense and the environment is more akin to Cross fit (although still nowhere near as intense), but the activity isn't as prone to injury. Combine the types of movements Cross fit does with the intense environment, plus the way they license the Crossfit name out to realtively low qualification gym owners - recipe for injury.[/quote]
