The fitness movement, which was founded by Greg Glassman in California in 2000, has gathered a cult-like following by its members who have enjoyed the community mentality and constantly varied training that the methodology promotes. This platform and scope of influence within the health and fitness industry has allowed CrossFit, and more specifically Mr Glassman, to flex their muscles in taking a stand against anyone who has threatened or denounced the methodology and sport. Despite being called upon numerous times by its community to issue a statement and take a stand CrossFit HQ remained silent. George Floyd’s brutal murder sparked riots nationally.”. Mr Glassman has also been heavily criticized by many of the sport’s biggest names including champions Rich Froning, Mat Fraser, Tai-Claire Toomey and Katrin Davidsdottir. The role will now be filled by CrossFit Games CEO Dave Castro who released the following statement. Every person in our community shares a common bond. We are all dedicated to a visionary, transformative approach to health and fitness. Our individual passions for that approach have forged an enduring community.”. Our shared bond brings together millions of people with differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences. Common ground, mutual respect, and fellowship must also be inevitable. I’m honored to take on the role of CEO of CrossFit, Inc. I hope to do right by affiliates, trainers, athletes, and other members of the CrossFit community around the world and never lose sight of the mission Greg established for us all.”. With Dave Castro now in charge, the company must look to rebuild from the bottom up to repair the damage caused and show that it is truly committed to change and developing an inclusive community.
