What are the downsides of CrossFit?

CrossFit's real downsides are injury risk when coaching is poor or ego takes over, a higher price than a big-box gym, and the intimidation factor for newcomers. Each is largely solved by a well-coached gym that scales workouts, keeps class sizes small, and welcomes beginners rather than testing them.
