I've been doing CrossFit for about 6 months and I'm reasonably in shape already, though certainly no where close to the strongest people in our class. I used to run several miles a day too. I wouldn't even think of touching the 30" box jump yet, and no one would give me an ounce of shit for it. Theres good gyms and there's bad gyms. And also, unfortunately, some people motivate themselves by what others are doing instead of what's right for them at the moment. Gotta know your own self and what an appropriate amount of push is.
All that said, I've done fitness regularly for like 12 years and I love CrossFit. It's the only exercising I've liked to do consistently. Our instructor is a stickler about your positions and movements to make sure we're not going to injure ourselves, so you have to make sure you have someone like that.
Someone should've had a very solid nutrition discussion with her before anything advanced, but some people just won't f* listen until they hurt themselves.
Maybe its just because I've been climbing a lot recently, but someone should've shown her how to fall. She could've hurt herself worse. Catching oneself with ankles/wrists is a recipe for injury.
It will destroy her blood vessels, and possibly her heart. She could pop a vessel in her brain. That's is so irresponsible of the people in charge of this place, to let her destroy her body in their establishment.
