After earning his Mechanical Engineering degree, working for two fortune 100 companies in business development, starting a Green Building Design Firm from scratch, Patty decided to try his hand in the fitness industry. Patty opened the world’s fifth CrossFit affiliate and Canada’s first in Vancouver in 2004. He was mentored directly by CrossFit Founder Greg Glassman from 2004 – 2009 and because of this relationship with Greg, Patty’s gym “always looked different”. As CrossFit grew, more and more new affiliate owners started contacting Patty for advice, and before he knew it he was consulting to hundreds of business owners and soon began to figure out best practices to professionalize the fitness trainer. Discussions and mentorship eventually led the group to quickly realize that in order to teach themselves and their staff how to implement Madlab’s Best practices (Which has morphed into Madlab’s Business model) they needed infrastructure. Infrastructure needs money. Hence the creation of the MadLab Group. Today we are on our Fifth generation of “Infrastructure” and Patty’s Engineering and leadership background has been instrumental in helping the team fulfill its mission of creating a professional class of coaches and businesses that support them.

After a recent article - "Leave No Client Behind" - made its way around the inter webs, I received a TON of requests to have Patty on the show. Well, here it is. Patty is an OG in the CrossFit world, as you'll hear in some of his stories. He's tried every potential business model, but always found it lacking in one of three areas: profitability for the business, opportunity for coaches, and sustainability for clients. He's landed on what he believes to be optimal solutions on all three fronts. After earning his mechanical engineering degree, working for two Fortune 100 companies in business development, and starting a green building design firm from scratch, Patty decided to try his hand in the fitness industry. Patty opened the world’s fifth CrossFit affiliate and Canada’s first in Vancouver in 2004. He was mentored directly by CrossFit Founder Greg Glassman from 2004 to 2009 and because of this relationship with Greg, Patty’s gym “always looked different."

Shortly after the CrossFit Games crowned the Fittest on Earth in Madison, Wisconsin, CrossFit Founder Greg Glassman says CrossFit’s true purpose is curing chronic disease. Speaking with Executive Director of Media Sevan Matossian, Glassman explains that his original prescription was designed to challenge the best athletes on the planet, and then he backfilled the program for grandmas, so to speak. While the spotlight is often on the elite, Glassman knows his program can also help millions of people who are sick and overweight. “The best work of the affiliates is the reversal and prevention of chronic disease, not sending athletes to the Games,” Glassman explains. Glassman says that the CrossFit community has already attracted all the fit people and athletes, and the new market is the unfit, the broken and the sick—people who are literally dying for help. “If you only work with healthy people, that’s only 30 percent of the population. … Seventy percent are going to die from chronic disease. I’d like to have that market,” he says. To that end, Glassman is reorienting his staff to understand that CrossFit Inc. is in the business of curing chronic disease. “We need to make it clear—starting with us, then going to the affiliates, and then going to the 175,000 trainers, and then to all of their clients, everyone that CrossFits in the land, and then finally to the general public that isn’t CrossFitting—that we sit in unique possession of a solution so elegant to chronic disease that it may be optimal. The only thing missing is our awareness.” Chronic diseases are ravaging the world, and yet the conditions are curable. These self-inflicted diseases are caused by excessive consumption of carbohydrates and sedentarism. Luckily, they can be cured with two complementary steps: “The solution is get off the couch, get off the carbs.” CrossFit affiliates are uniquely positioned to lead a health revolution through diet and exercise, and Glassman says it’s as simple as approaching people and telling them the truth: “You’re fat. You’re going to die. I can help you.” Overall, Glassman has recognized that while his program produces people like Mat Fraser and Tia-Clair Toomey, its most important application is with people who are sick and dying. “We’re part of the disease economy, but we’re just the guys who make people well.”
