With CrossFit gaining more and more momentum now that the 2011 CF Games are being aired on ESPN2, have you ever wondered how it all got started? The CrossFit Journal sat in on Coach Greg Glassman, the founder of CrossFit, as he was being interviewed. In this video he goes into how he came to his realization on why building work capacity across broad time and modal domains might prove more beneficial than specializing solely in one specific area. He also goes into how and why he began training athletes in groups, and his answers are surprising, yet very common sense. You do not need a CrossFit Journal account to view the video of his interview, but you should really consider getting a subscription because the material is top notch and very relevant to what we do everyday at Intrepid.  Interesting to hear about the evolution of CrossFit from how it began in a small Santa Cruz gym and to see where it is toay with affiliated gym worldwide and competitions being televised on national television.

REMINDER: The 9am and 10am classes have been cancelled and have been replaced with a 9:30am class. If you can’t make it in to workout then come out and support your fellow Intrepids as they take on the Manhattan Beach 10K this morning.
