While press for CrossFit seems to be cropping up everywhere these days (cf., the NY Times Magazine, whose piece about how ‘the superfit walk among us’ has already given Jess endless opportunities to make fun of me), it’s Gawker that deserves special recognition for summing things up way better than I can whenever people ask about the gym:

“CrossFit is an internet-based cult of fitness for psychos, itinerant preachers, ex-killers, and crazy people of all stripes.”

Sounds about right.
