The very worst thing about Crossfit is the cult mentality. I actually think it's fine as a general fun workout.

Some gyms simply don't pay enough or any attention to proper form. If you read commits from Crossfit threads / forums, the diehard would jump on you for questioning anything done in the video, regardless if it's about poor form when lifting heavy weights ("it's ok to go ugly on your PR"), or about very pregnant women lifting heavy weights in Olympic lifts ("its good for the baby; doctors are wrong"), or pre-adolescence deadlifting over 200 lbs ("that's old science; doctors are wrong"), or an insane fat based diet ("science is wrong; read Adkins").
