How CrossFit has become
a sport unto its own
posted Mar 29, 2018, 11:52 PM by Daniel Purjes [ updated Mar 29, 2018, 11:53 PM ]
Mctague, an old buddy of mine who works at Wall Street now, visited
a few days ago and we had a few drinks. We talked about all the
stuff we loved like Rockwood Bar in the Big Apple, NYC assets, fund
investment reports and asset investments listed in Barron’s, and
even some of the New York Times main stories. Then we ended up
talking about one of the companies we’ve been following – CrossFit.

In 2000, Greg Glassman created the company CrossFit. It opened
its first gym (or box as the company calls it) in Seattle and named it
CrossFit North. In 2005, the company had 13 other boxes. By 2012
however, that number grew to a staggering 3,400 boxes.
But how did CrossFit come to be exactly? When Glassman was a
teen, he was also a gymnast. A gymnast’s workout routine was
centered exclusively on bodyweight exercises. Glassman wanted to
try something different. He tried working out with dumbbells and a
barbell, using them in squats and other exercises. The result was
amazing. Glassman was exceedingly stronger than his peers.
Today, various routines have been developed for the CrossFit
enthusiast, and there are CrossFit challenges all over the world. It
has become a sport on its own. Even with its critics, who claim that
exercise shouldn’t be a sport, CrossFitters have stayed loyal to it.
CrossFit competitions have become not just a sport but a set of
sports with all the movements, revolutionizing the way people
approach health and wellness completely.
