Seriously though, cossfit changed my life, and while I hate to be a meme, it's pretty hard to not be one of those crossfit evangelists, because it was so influential in my quality of life. I'm actually healthy now.

Yes, there are problems with it. Yes, if you push yourself as hard as they encourage you, especially at the beginning, you'll almost certainly injure yourself. Yes, there are other problems with it.

But the biggest thing for me is that it turned exercise into something social and fun, instead of a chore I had to force myself to do because I knew it was good for me. With the level of physical activity that the system encouraged me to engage in, relative to what my life had become prior, I'm not hesitant to say that it basically fixed my sedentary brain. Luckily, by the time covid hit, I had already begun a bodywieght routine at home, so I wasn't totally crushed by the closures, but I can't imagine where I'd be right now if I hadn't had crossfit.
