You came to the CrossFit Games to watch the world’s top athletes compete for the title of Fittest on Earth. But you do CrossFit for something even more valuable. You do it to live better, longer.

That’s why CrossFit Health invites you to join the conversation in a variety of CME/CEU panel discussions hosted by Mike Giardina, L4, MS, MPH at the 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games.

All panels to take place on the Demo Stage in Vendor Village.
