On this week’s livestream, we’re unpacking why and how CrossFit’s community is different — to the point that some even call us a cult. 

  • Is it the culture or the community that makes us different? What’s the difference between them? What defines them?  
  • What does “community” even mean if everyone says they have it?
  • Do you believe that walking into a CrossFit gym is palpably different from walking into any other brand of gym? What creates this? 
  • Why have we been called a cult? 
  • What are the social components of health and fitness? How important are they?
  • What role does the methodology play in promoting and preserving the culture? 

Guest host Matt Souza is joined by Nicole Carroll and Jenn Pishko
