CrossFit is shit, and obese people have ABSOLUTELY no reason to be there. You’re injuring yourself more than helping. No proper body mechanics, exercises that cause more harm than gain… ffs.

There it is. Y’all can’t help yourselves.

It’s not being rude, it’s being honest. I myself work in a healthcare setting (ER) and we see largely overweight people who are attempting to loose weight and we have a local CrossFit RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD, and they come in frequently with injuries. Their bodies don’t have core strength along with proper dynamics to do those sort of exercises.

There’s not one reason she should have been doing a box jump with her height and weight along with athletic ability.

Honestly sucks sometimes.

Literally can’t help but comment about a person’s weight. It’s sad actually. Compulsive probably.

A person's weight is relevant in deciding what workouts are safe for them and what injuries they risk.

What? It is completely relevant and mentioned in a morally neutral way.

Her weight and therefore fitness level are directly relevant to the danger she put herself in.

Ignoring someone's body type when planning an exercise routine can lead to injuries, it's literally what happens in the video. If you're larger you're not as agile and if you do fall you have more weight behind the fall. Having a person with this body type do this maneuver is unsafe and unnecessary, just like trying to have a 100lb person do the lift at the end is also going to be equally unsafe.

So the BMI is not a thing? So E669 is not a CiE-10 code to a diagnostic of obesity? ... Well champ, is a real disease who needs to be treated as a menace to public health, or you are happy with the diabetes and cardiovascular diseases epidemic? Nah, plz don't call people by their weight ... So dumb...

Don't defend something that caused a person an injury...

Crossfit did not cause that injury. Crossfit can be save, if moderately done and supervised.

The individual coach that asked her to do high box jumps caused that injury.

Her not knowing her limits, and still doing that exercise instead of telling the coach „no, ill do a lower height“ caused that injury.

The place, not the concept...

CrossFit is not a place. CrossFit is a franchise, a concept.

Edit: holy shit this is stupid af

A franchise IS a concept. To franchise something is literally to license a concept of a business. If you are a franchisee, you are paying to use the concept the franchisor is offering.

And CrossFit is nothing else than a franchise under the hood, which they don’t call it that because they weren’t able to trademark the X, and the movements etc. You pay them to call yourself an „Affiliate“, and to be allowed to use the trademark, otherwise you are only „functional fitness“. It’s stupid af, and so is CF, but it is what it is.

A franchise and a concept are two different things...

Is a disease, so, don't romantize being sick ...
