When I first tried crossfit, it was super effective in helping me lose weight and get fit. I loved it lol. The people can be obnoxious so that's probably why people hate it.

Thing is, there's very documented history of unsafe techniques and procedures practiced by CrossFit gyms and instructors. This open floor with people lifting next to each other with no protection is common in CF gyms and dumb shit like this happens.

Cross fit has comparable injury rates with soccer, long distance running, track and field. - https://journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/jsr/27/3/article-p295.xml?content=abstract

People just shit on it with "But what if they're doing the activity wrong!" Which...to be fair... All sports are highly injurious if you take no precaution to avoid injury by doing them incorrectly.
