New York Times journalist Calum Marsh recently sat down with Jude and Paul Reynolds on The Hybrid Fitness Report to discuss the rise of CrossFit and the ensuing expansion of global functional fitness.
The trio dive into interesting topics such as CrossFit’s roots, the influence of Greg Glassman, the company’s view on sponsorships and the Reebok partnership.
They also look at the important and fascinating distinction between CrossFit as a company and CrossFit as a training methodology. This is an exceptionally important divide, as anyone who has trained in a CrossFit Box will know, but is often a tricky and liminal space to understand.
His book, “The Glass Box: The Shocking True Story of How CrossFit Broke the Rules, Made Millions, and Changed Fitness Forever” will be released soon.
