CrossFit Still Litigious, Still The Worst
Don't mess with the CrossFit bros over at your nearest warehouse-cum-gym. Everyone knows that. Scientists and their journals know it. Magazines know it. Apparently the only entity that didn't know it was an Italian fitness equipment company called Cross Gym. They sure as hell do now....
