Crossfit: difference between doing it and being taught to do it

There is a a huge different between doing crossfit and being taught to do crossfit. I hear many people speculating about how crossfit is dangerous and not good for the body. what they seem to not realize due to the lack of knowledge about crossfit is that all workouts can be scaled down to fit anyone's needs. the only way it becomes unsafe or bad for the body is if they haven't been trained specifically in crossfit. It would be like having an average citizen become a nascar driver without having specific training in race car driving.That would cause unsafe driving and risk for injury, just like a untrained cross-fitter. The key to crossfit is having good trainers with knowledge and experience to train you.I find it hard to believe that crossfit is so bad for you when most firefighters, policeman, and armed service members do it. These jobs demand these people to be in excellent shape because their job depends on it. These types of jobs are to protect people, so it wouldn't make much sense to have them doing something bad for there bodies or unsafe. Until you have actually been taught the foundational movements of crossfit by a certified trainer and have been trained at a crossfit gym you should probably keep your idiotic thoughts to yourself.
