In CrossFit’s earliest years, there was no roadmap — only innovation. Today, there are more playbooks and guidelines and how-to’s than ever — and ironically, it’s turned CrossFit affiliates into the very big-box gyms they once stood in contrast to.
In this episode of the Infinitely Scalable podcast, our hosts (all O.G. CrossFitters who’ve seen a thing or two) discuss this turning tide — and how affiliates can reclaim their agency.
