Wow you must have some terrible boxes in your area. Everyone at the local gyms here are emphasized chest up, full depth, elbows high front squats. People that go "starfish" power cleans are immediately called out and asked to lower the weight. Now if you are referring to butterfly pull ups that is just a different type of movement used for efficiency. It originates in gymnastics. However, my gym will use strict pull ups frequently and kipping pull ups are restricted to individuals that can complete multiple reps strict only.
You're proving my point. If the trainers are not that good then you're open to serious injury because your're probably doing movements which you normally wouldn't do.
