The video was appalling. However I don’t assume all CrossFit locations allow such behavior. I tried the location in Bismarck, ND & in the month I was there the gentlemen who ran it made sure he was there, rather than one of the other two for no other reason than proper form. Everything was done slowly until I had proper form and only then was I allowed to attempt the WOD.

I understand not everyone agrees with Crossfit & I respect that but the problem I see with the video is people are focusing on “CrossFit” rather than the trainer who stood by and allowed it to happen.

I would assume there are plenty of CPT who don’t always correct form. I guess I have been to bootcamps where form was never addressed as well as one on one sessions. I see trainers to busy texting during a session to realize their client fell off the treadmill. Trainers aren’t under fire for the couple bad ones?

Just a thought – why is it CrossFit under attack? Rather than the individual?
