It’s a pyramid scheme

Why is crossfit the "second to last" fitness trend in the last century? You make little sense.

Adrian Miller
Simple. It's "fun".
Regular lifting is "boring" and looks unappealing.
But Crossfit you get all kinds of wacky props!
WIGGLE THOSE ROPES
FLIP THOSE TIRES
Are pullups too hard? Cheat! We encourage it! Never feel like you failed!

because most people don't have the time/energy to read up how to do a program on their own and crossfit offers classes and has good marketing
not to mention that evidence-based physical culture is intimidating to those not baptized in the iron
Joseph Moore
Because it's exactly what most people need: high volume lower weight circuit training to melt the fast food off their asses. Plus the community aspect beats just going to the gym.

But failute is part of the way, if you have never failed your still at the start.
