Those with the passion and drive to bring CrossFit to their communities choose how they want to run their gyms — from programming to merchandise, from staffing to business hours — it’s completely up to you.
The CrossFit affiliate model is vastly different than a franchise model. Our affiliates are a community of legitimate fitness practitioners pooling reliable resources. Each affiliate is independently owned and operated.
About CrossFit Affiliates
The world's leading platform for health, happiness, and performance.™
AT THE FOREFRONT OF A FITNESS REVOLUTION
From the beginning, the CrossFit movement has provided an alternative to the prevailing commercial gym establishment and its signature “big box” approach to fitness. CrossFit affiliation is a grassroots movement started by CrossFit athletes who wanted their own local gyms, trainers, and communities. It has become a call to all who care about fitness to get the car out of the garage, pick up some dumbbells, a barbell, a few plates, a pull-up bar, and some rings, and hit the Workout of the Day. Inviting a friend to participate compounds the experience. Start training with a few friends and before long, you’ll need a bigger space.
Our affiliates are located all over the world and constitute a community of committed fitness practitioners united around safe, effective exercise, and sound nutrition. For more than two decades, we’ve helped millions become healthier, fitter, stronger, and better. CrossFit changed the face of fitness and will continue to change lives as our affiliate community grows.

Each Affiliate Is Unique
Each CrossFit affiliate is its own, but all share in a relentless and continual pursuit of excellence — excellent coaching, excellent programming, and an incomparable community that supports you.
While CrossFit can be done at home, in garage gyms, in a park, or at the beach, CrossFit affiliates connect you with expert coaches who can guide you in the safest ways to implement the program.
When you walk into a CrossFit gym, you never have to walk alone and unguided through a sea of bulky equipment and mind-numbing machinery. Instead, you’ll work with a coach and others like you who will help you move and feel better. When you walk into a CrossFit gym, you’ll understand we’re in this together.
