The degreed trainers at my gym do use cross-fit exercises, but they don't call it "CrossFit", but metabolic training. They also don't do the pseudo-military like approach. One or two of the trainers approaches the latter, but I think that is just their own style. I DO like the metabolic style training, regardless of what it is called. It doesn't focus on any one thing and is a good cross-training for the bike - especially in the summer when I back off from higher volume weights as my riding increases.
