For most S&C coaches, Crossfit is a taboo subject. It’s about time we got over that. When it exploded in popularity 6 or 7 years ago, most of us were horrified by the number of “Crossfit fail” compilations that appeared all over the internet. Now it’s had time to establish itself as a dominant force within the fitness industry, it would be nice to think that a few things have changed. As I’m currently touring Crossfit gyms round the world (#crossfitworldtour if you didn’t know already), I hope I can provide a little unbiased perspective.

7 年Like this a lot. From the few Crossfit organisations that I have visited there is a real mix in the coaching philosophy. In its simplest terms - some prioritise the completion time of a WOD whilst others prioritise technique. As the vast majority of athletes/participants in Crossfit are the general public (with a real mix of previous injuries etc.) - until technique is the number 1 concern of the majority of CF coaches, then there will still be a cloud surrounding the sport from an S+C perspective.
