CrossFit is at a crossroads. With affiliate numbers shrinking and Berkshire Partners looking to sell, the future of the brand is uncertain. In this special episode of “Run a Profitable Gym,” Two-Brain Business founder and CEO Chris Cooper lays out a plan to save CrossFit—the company and the broader community of gym owners and trainers who depend on the brand.Chris was an affiliate owner for 14 years and worked for CrossFit HQ for six. Now, through Two-Brain, he mentors more CrossFit affiliate owners than anyone else in the world.Coop's seen firsthand what makes affiliates successful—and why so many are struggling. Today, he breaks down why great coaching alone isn't enough, how outdated business advice led many affiliates to financial instability and why the future of CrossFit depends on strong, profitable gyms. He outlines specific steps a new CrossFit LLC owner should take to turn things around, including revamping the affiliate model and redefining the brand in today's fitness industry. Stay tuned for the next three episodes in this series: Chris will answer the top questions he's received about CrossFit, he'll explain how affiliates can be saved, and he'll lay out a plan for the evolution of the CrossFit Games.

What happens when tragedy strikes at one of the most celebrated fitness events in the world? Hear from coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic as we tackle the deeply felt repercussions of Lazar Đukić's tragic drowning at the CrossFit Games last year. This heartbreaking incident has not only fractured the CrossFit community but has also led to a substantial dip in Open registrations. Join us as we examine the actions of prominent athletes like Pat Vellner, Annie Thorisdottir, and Chandler Smith, who have stepped back from the 2025 Games season, and understand the ripple effects this has on the sport, both as a business and a community built on personal conviction and diverse viewpoints.The CrossFit community often blurs the lines between leaders and influencers, and we can't help but spotlight Chandler Smith's influential presence. Our time with key figures such as Patrick Vellner and Dave Castro gave us invaluable insights into the intricacies of leadership within CrossFit HQ. These interactions highlighted the camaraderie that the CrossFit Open fosters, even amidst recent turmoil. We explore how these events shape perceptions of CrossFit's leadership and discuss the need for discernment when choosing whom to follow.As the future of CrossFit unfolds, the tension between CrossFit HQ and professional athletes advocating for change is palpable. Our conversation pivots to the evolving relationship between CrossFit affiliates and the overarching brand, stressing the importance of community involvement over competitive edge. We encourage open dialogue and mutual appreciation, urging listeners to consider multiple perspectives. By embracing diverse viewpoints, we can better navigate the challenges of leadership and change within the vibrant world of CrossFit. Join us for a thoughtful discussion that aims to enrich and reshape our approach to fitness, community, and mindset.@crossfitbison @crossfittraining @crossfit @crossfitgames #crossfit #sports #exercise #health #movement #crossfitcoach #agoq #clean #fitness #ItAllStartsHere #CrossFitOpen #CrossFit #CrossFitCommunity @CrossFitAffiliates #supportyourlocalbox #crossfitaffiliate #personalizedfitness

In order to do so, we look at CrossFit's current standing, the way it interacts with its affiliates, and its marketing strategies. Above all, let's make the case that a singular app could be the solution to the impediments CrossFit faces and how it could revolutionize the experience for new entrants.

Science, once a beacon of objectivity, has become marred by corruption and misuse. At BSI, we are on a mission to unravel the tyranny of broken science and those who exploit it. In this week's episode, we hear from Greg Glassman as he dives deep into the issues of broken science and addresses the consequences of research that will not replicate. This talk was recorded over a year ago in Santa Cruz, California. Glassman, utilizing the chalkboards at the old CrossFit HQ, outlines the objectives of The Broken Science Initiative. He writes on the chalkboard five critical facets of modern science and discusses how they resonate with common sense. We've worked hard to create show notes, which include a transcript of the episode with links out to all mentioned references allowing listeners to continue learning about Broken Science.

Andrew Charlesworth is the Mid-west Affiliate Rep for CrossFit HQ and a microgym owner himself (CrossFit Tuebor). We share a lot of differences of opinion when it comes to various fitness or business topics, but one thing we are in sync with... The need to chemically interfere with our brain at times to reclaim work/life balance and enable us to focus on something right in front of us, versus whatever creative scheme our brain is coming up with next. Andrew and I talk about what we use to slow down our brain at the end of a long day, get the quality sleep we need to kick ass the next morning, and how we've successfully integrated "drugs" into our busy, fitness-focused lifestyle.
