> The trainer is very good and there is a big focus on safety and avoiding injury. The trainers are always available to help and guide you on how to exercise properly and safely. In fact I think it's much safer than going to an ordinary gym where you are left to work it out yourself and you'll probably do it wrong, endangering your health. You are fortunate to have a good trainer at your box, but you don't have Crossfit to thank for that. The minimum requirement for opening a box is a one weekend training course to get your Level 1 certification. That's it. Considering the skill level required to properly coach some of the Olympic lifts involved in Crossfit training, a weekend hardly scratches the surface. As for the big focus on safety and avoiding injury, a number of WODs have heavy lifts for time that invite form breakdown and injury (e.g. "Diane"). Then there is always the "Uncle Rhabdo" mascot and the strange glorification of ripping blisters off your hands doing kipping pullups, but I digress.
