I've been a member at UB since they first opened their doors. Good form is absolutely their number one concern, and they do a great job of taking all the best parts of CF while not drinking the Kool-Aid. (I've known the coaches themselves to poke fun at HQ's more grandiose claims about CF from time to time.) They also apply more of a strength emphasis to their programming, which I think is far more helpful than the "hero WOD", 30-minute burnout workouts that tend to show up in more orthodox CF.
The author's contention that her complaints apply to "EVERY SINGLE GYM THAT FOLLOWS CROSSFIT" is just uninformed over-generalization, made less convincing by being written in bold all-caps.
- letstryagain 12y agoYou seem to have missed what she's saying. She is say 'EVERY SINGLE CROSSFIT GYM' does high-rep heavy weights for time, which is a bad idea. Doing squats or snatches as fast as you can is a recipe for disaster, and this high-speed high-rep style IS crossfit, and ALL crossfit gyms do it, and that's why she says this. It's not about 'some gyms don't care about form'.
