I know a CrossFit coach who only coaches to make a living (his passion is Olympic-style weightlifting, but there's no money in that in the US).

Heard from him multiple times: "CrossFit is bullshit."

It's a very cultish activity. I'm an amateur weightlifter and lift at my coach's box, and I just find it bizarre and unnecessarily painful (judging by the bodies on the floor after a WOD).

I do both Olympic weightlifting and CrossFit. I like Olympic weightlifting more--it's my passion. I use CrossFit to keep fit. I'm a 73-kg class weightlifter; been lifting since 2018. My snatch PR is 75 kg, and my clean & jerk PR is 94 kg. Can't wait for this COVID-19 lockdown to be lifted so that I can go back to the gym.

That's cool. Same here, can't wait. I actually bought a cheap barbell and some light weights so at least I can keep practicing technique in my apartment :)
