CrossFit has seen a lot of changes since 2015 when I started training at CrossFit Undeniable. The brand was strong and full of hope. There were no controversy with racism or misogyny. It was a community without a corporate face, just the affable Greg Glassman and David Castro. With the sale to private equity, the brand has lost its luster, but at the affiliate level community endures.
The CrossFit Games have had their share of controversy as well. The most recent being the lack of transparency surround Lazar Dukic's death during the 2024 CrossFit Games.
My why has not changed. I believe in constantly varied functional fitness performed at high intensity. That model has been a part of achieving physical, mental and spiritual resilience. On a more mundane note, I like measuring up against the world. Good or bad, it is still a measure. I want to maintain my work capacity as I age. I do not want to be a burden to society, my wife or my children due to poor decisions.
