Dude just equated his biz model with a "church or a biker gang"…. and WHERE is this glorious leader now???
Why is the Leader so out of shape…what happened ?!
Seems it amps up the testosterone in women making them AGGRESSIVE USING GUNS
It's got "scam" written all over it.
This thing is the scientology of sports.
I've been involved in a number of cults both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower but you make more money as a leader. –Creed Bratton
Joints( ligaments, cartilage) take longer to adapt to strength training than muscle.
Initially crossfit increases strength and muscle development, but inevitably joint damage kicks in because Crossfit does not allow time for healthy adaptation.
Crossfit
The Scientology of the fitness world.
All for any type of training that gets people to love it. For me it is super setting and powerlifting. Do what you enjoy. All the best to everyone.
Crossfit: Exists
Elgintensity: “So anyways, I started roasting.”
When you see people justify the high price of the gym membership and denouncing critics as “hATeRz,” you know that it’s a cult.
Crossfit makes me believe that Jim Jones was born 50 years too early.
Yeah right🙄
Can Glassman wash his hair tho?
Uhhh you literally described Crossfit when you described "Cult". Crossfit is a blemish in the fitness industry. It's not hard to appeal to millions when use marketing schemes. Crossfit has a pyramid scheme approach. Their "best" trainers is the fitness industrys worse….
I guess I just don't get why people trash Crossfit so much? I don't care either. I cross train, but my focus is martial arts. Anecdotally, quite a few people I know who do it seem to be happy and are more healthy than they were when they started. If that's the case, good on them.
I have done a lot of exercise programs including crossfit. Crossfit ranks pretty low for me on injuries the problem lies with the coach or the individual. There are bad gyms out there (unfortunately) and that can be said for any exercise program. Most people think that because they blew out their knee doing a workout that the workout is bad, when in fact that injury was building up for years due to lack of mobility, flexibility and perhaps, bad form. It just so happens that if you neglect your mobility, flexibility and form for years and then attempt a new personal record, something is going to give eventually, imagine that.
Regardless, it has people off the couch and moving.
If you've a mind to, you can equal or exceed the results achieved in any CrossFit Box, at home, on your own. All you need to do is implement the "FarmFit" program I used growing up in rural North Carolina. There are only four elements and the required equipment is cheap and readily available. The elements are: a wheelbarrow push, a heavy farmer's walk, chopping/splitting wood and sprinting on soft ground. All you need are a wheelbarrow, several hundred-pound bags of feed or fertilizer, a heavy ax or mallet with some wood (a sledgehammer and car tire can be substituted) and an open field. For fun and variety, you can exercise with friends and do a variety of relay races. Go to it. Enjoy and don't worry about paying membership dues or licensing fees.
Fun is more important, until the rent is due!
All crossfitters fit into one or two different profiles/demographics. I've always wondered if glassman knew that going in or it was just dumb luck.
crossfit sounds like bitconnect
Chistmas from Big Brother is in this 3:15 and 20:36
The biggest issue I’ve had with CrossFit is it costs quite a bit per month for what you get. I feel like if they halved the cost it would make much more sense.
wow
I just payed $270 for two 45s. The real sinister aspect of CrossFit is the abuse of equipment. These gyms hoarded the world's supply of bumper plates and ended up using them as stools, balance beams, dip bars. How about they spend $100 and build different size wooden boxes and give the sane world their equipment back.
Crossfit: where form & range of motion doesn't matter
Come get hurt with us!!! Crossfit.
This didn’t age well for Glassman.
When white "athletes" can't compete in real sports…
Wayyy wayyy way overpriced for what they offer. They try to justify price by saying you’re getting a “coach”. Man stop it. When a class of 10-20 is going on you don’t get attention like you do with 1-1
CrossFit sounds like ANTIFA
It's just another player in the fitness industry. Invent something "new" (reinvent the wheel) then sell it, over and over again.
i'm too cheap to pay the crossfit membership fee. i do like body weight exercises, burpees, etc. I can do those on my own at the Y, or lately outside in a park or in my back yard. Don't have to pay the crazy fee to do that. i'm in my 50s and my other middle ages friends who do crossfit all look like the walking wounded.
All the crybaby haters on here commenting! HA!
Crossfit is not a sustainable workout program long term. Injuries and joints getting wrecked over time due to the improper ways of training are real. So they rely on a constant stream of new members. It's at a boom now and will fade with time as people become wise to it being all about the money. They don't talk money, because they know they'll be exposed.
CrossFit people are some of the douches people I have ever met.
The business model is vague and starry-eyed; strikes me as the California Mindset in general.
Glasman looks like (and sounds like) a homeless man… weird.
I joined CrossFit when I moved to a new locale and didn't know anyone there. I stayed with CrossFit despite some reservations solely for the convenience of having a gym right behind my apartment complex. I've met some great people at CrossFit but it has always struck me as a weird version of high school social dynamics among people aged 25-40 on average. Never mind that CrossFit is WAAAAYYY overpriced for what you get from it.
All all the “ Top” guys are juiced to the gills lol
Founder guy is overweight
When you don't care about form, your back, or your health – crossfit is for you. Crossfit lost me when someone told me a proper pull-up was incorrect and showed me kipping as "proper form"…
Would say it’s a bit of both.
I call them “cross tards”…..fitness for people with OCD
i just really taken a liken to crossfit training when i look at the women how beautiful they are im blown away of their dedication and tonight i came across this video and says it a cult, when ever a group a people dont have control over an movement its always a cult, like everything else
CROSSFIT
Where Bad Form is the Norm (TM)
Joining a crossfit gym you're basically joining for friends…
wow. Glad I came across this. I thought Dave Castro was the creator as he was the only person I've ever seen publicly.
Says the clearly out of shape guy…SMH
They are not very well organized and don't maintain a good solid standard of form and training. I used to be that things were simply called cross training. And you did those things without trying to find a way to make money at it.
