No it isn't--it's one person that apparently eats depressing food and doesn't enjoy the workouts, but does them because they work for her. XFit does have high risk, but this article isn't about the risks and how to take steps to avoid them. It's a sob story about how "boring" the food is (that's her problem; paleo isn't any more or less boring than anything else) and how hard the workouts are (duh). While XFit is HIIT, I'd argue it isn't what most people think of when they think of traditional HIIT. Once you throw olympic lifts into any mix there's a large jump in risk. Form training is critical.
