Adventure:
I like & support CF, but here is some ones take on it.

whitewolf:
Sounds like he really was worn out from doing the exersises-hope they have a defrilabrator in the CF gyms-WW

Keith Miller:
I didn't read the whole article, but from my experience - Crossfitters are very clicky, like they are in on something unique. And if you don't do it...you just don't get it. It's almost like exercise snobbery.

Hock:
Its a fad that has stuck. It has somehow collected that...that elusive, media magic thing.

In the bitter end, its the WOD - the changing "work out of the day."
People like someone else putting it togther and selling it as sort of prepared mob-magic.

But is it any better than Mike Gillette's rotating "deck of cards" style work out? Minus the franchise dues?

noload:
People looking to exercise, or to belong to the cool kids group?

The idea of CF looks fine but does seem to be taken too far, also annoying when they start trying to hog the barbells at the gym.
