I haven't seen a bunch of people posting incessantly on Facebook about how dedicated they are to it, so it must not be any good. GO CROSSFIT!!!!
They opened one near me when I was in Denver. The local news covered the grand opening, and there were a bunch of "in shape to walk/jog" people that were trying to sprint on treadmills while the trainers were goading them on.
There was a big screen in the front of the gym that posted everyone's heart rate, and I swore someone was going to have a heart attack. Picture 55 year old slightly flabby women hitting 170 beats per minute, with the trainer pushing them to keep it up.
I went to pick up lunch at a sub shop near there the next day and saw a fire truck pull up and a couple paramedics rush in.

I don't think it's a bad "theory" as it pertains to exercise. Not my thing but it's pretty popular in Tampa.

My wife is at one right now. She loves it and apparently its tough as hell. I believe one of Michal Jordans former teammates from Chicago is the instructor. Its just a change up from the normal routine is all.
You guys are no help with the links/information.

Basically jazzercise on roids. It's group cardio class in which they try to get you to maintain your heart rate at a certain level in the "orange" zone. Great intro for sedentary people looking to get started. Not much emphasis on strength I don't think
