Mostly the culture around it I imagine. Bright outfits, knee high socks, the dumb motivational social media posts. Not to mention everyone I know that does it feels the need to let everyone else know that they are a crossfitter.

cliffs: Being proud of anything.

My biggest issue is the attitude toward injury and shit technique and programming. This combines to become a recipe for disaster. Your S&C program should make you healthier, not cripple you. But I guess the endless SLAP tears and achillies tendon ruptures are just a small price to pay for the unparalleled honor of winning gym class that day.
