"Explains the science of maximum effort, why the modern gym fails an obese society, and the psychic rewards of ending up on the floor feeling as though you're about to die, [tracing] CrossFit's rise from a single underground gym in Santa Cruz to its adoption as the workout of choice for elite special forces, firefighters, and cops, to its popularity as the go-to fitness routine for regular Joes and Janes"--Dust jacket flap.

From the empty phrases that add nothing to the story, except fake heroism to mundane acts. For example "But it wasn’t a helpless cry—it was the sound of pain being driven out of her body.".
To the religious references, the first one so subtle that I really thought the author was talking of having faith in oneself to complete a workout. Not to worry, the next paragraphs of heavy religiosity walked me away from my error.
Then there's the derisive tone used to describe any other training method. e.g. "The old-school globo-gym, with its chrome and mirrors and airhead instructors".
Also plain lies about those methods, like asserting that is impossible to work a HIIT on an elliptical machine ... or dispensing with the utility of long runs for military folks, when studies show that kind of aerobic workouts to improve responses under stress.
But what annoyed me the most was the lack of critical spirit, I do practice Crossfit but that doesn't mean that I'm oblivious to the fact that some lifts would require more attention than they get at some boxes to avoid back problems. Crossfit is awesome but we shouldn't stop looking for ways to improve on it. ( )
