The dark side of group fitness

This video discusses the Darkside of group fitness outlets, such as F45, Orange Theory and CrossFit. These cultures tend to celebrate agony. The group setting in the environment can really reinforce the norms within this culture. Negative compulsive behaviors can arise, which can lead to overuse burnout and injury. None of this is particularly controversial. In fact it’s well-known. This doesn’t mean that group fitness is all bad or that it should be avoided at all costs, so I’m not painting the entire industry with a broad brush. I am merely illustrating that this is a tendency that exists. It’s good to be aware of this tendency because it canon does happen. My point is that people should be smart about their training. Keep their wits about them and get plenty of rest recover sleep and not get dragged into doing stuff that they ought not do.
