Being your own boss is the ultimate test of patience and skill, resulting in a freedom that only the strongest self-starters and dedicated entrepreneurs get to experience.

With a Global Brand

There are a lot of options in the functional fitness gym world, but the reach and power of the CrossFit brand is unparalleled. There are more CrossFit gyms than Orangetheory, F45 and Barry’s Bootcamp – combined. The CrossFit Open is the largest participatory sporting competition in the world – and drives new members into our gyms. The CrossFit Games and documentaries are the most powerful brand campaigns ever run in fitness for a single business. Harness all the power of the biggest name in functional fitness to build your gym!

Opening up my affiliate has given me a new sense of purpose in my life. A purpose driven for me and not someone else’s dream. There is nothing like having your own creation you are giving your all to. Research, take the time to read the fine print. If you’re going to go in, go all in.
