Congrats to Coach; Now the rest of us can breathe a sigh of relief that we won't have to endure the over commercialization of our lifestyle/culture
way to go coach, tenacious
So when can we get some of those "unbuyable" shirts???
Thank you for fighting for us Coach.
Congrats Coach and HQ. You are changing the world!
Amazing. Unbuyable. Great news.
Congrats and thank god. Those corporate wigs were trying to ruin CrossFit.
To Coach and Community:
Thank You.
Now where DO we get some "un-buyable" T-shirts?!
The queen is dead. Long live the King!
Comment #4 FT2(SS), USN - What will motivate you more? Watching all 20+ of our Working Wounded Athletes give everything they had, all day long. Next year, don't miss it.
Rest day? Ain't nobody got time for that.
I was at the event and had the honor of judging many of the athletes, including the lovely - and hard - Kendra Bailey. Hell of an athlete and wonderful young lady. All of our warriors there were truly inspiring. Great event, Chef.

Great to hear that future of fitness is in great hands. Also loved the video regarding metabolic analysis this is exactly what CrossFit needs the more testing and data the better. Look out NSCA the new big dawg on the block is CrossFit.
Unbuyable is right! Love the metabolic analysis video, the more data and research CrossFit can get involved in the better. Look out NSCA there is a new big DAWG and its name is CrossFit.

We have and will stand behind Crossfit and its community because of what it has always stood for. We feel blessed to be an affiliate and part of what Crossfit will now become. Thank you coach for such an amazing opportunity! Onward!!!!!
Also, can someone turn todays pic into a poster? I would like to purchase one. "Chef" well done!
Where do I buy the "Unbuyable" Shirt?
Congratulations ! Crossfit has changed my life for the better and I thank you Coach Glassman.
I like the way Glassman does business!
Nice Job Coach! Thank you!
Congrats and THANKS to all who we fought for CrossFit and Coach G.
Thank you Chef, Sara and Brian for putting together an amazing event allowing us to assist.
I say remove Wounded from Working Wounded, and Wounded Warriors...those folks are 100% whole physically, mentally and spritually regardless of what we see!
Great news!
agreed--where can we buy the unbuyable t-shirts?
Congratulations Coach!!!! Thank you for fighting...for all of us! UNBUYABLE!!
Thank you, Coach, for enduring the hassle, expense and drama to regain complete control of this program that is so important to so many of us. I'm sure you've already taken care of this, but I also hope you've got a plan in place to ensure that control of CF is never again vulnerable to takeover and/or exploitation.
@ #21 Rob M, I second your statement very strongly!
Also, really awesome video! I am a huge science nerd, and whenever you stick two of my favorite things together, it makes me happy.
YEAH! Thanks Coach and the HQ Team!
Bravo coach!! Merci pour tout!
As a new box owner, I am so excited to hear this news. Congrats to Coach and all who helped with this monumental victory!
I don't usually chime in on topics, but I thought that the topic of Coach Glassman being sole owner warranted it. Congratulations Coach. I have met you a few times and always a pleasure. I would say that with this comes a great deal of responsibility... as I KNOW you understand. I wish you the best and hope that you are able to maintain the ethical and moral integrity of CrossFit. We ARE more than workouts and I hope that we maintain that mentality. I hope that WE continue the charter to lead by exmaple and to not follow. That does not mean that we can not learn by others, but that we do not blindly immitate. We are so diverse and feel that like the USA that is probably our biggest strength. That we can draw from so many sports and their methods of training, etc. We can go heavy and short, we can go long, we can be technical, etc. All of these facets coupled with our communal attitude both local community and global is what gives us a leg up. We can always learn, we can always develop, we should always have FUN, and be fit in doing all these things.
best,
Anton

Great news, Coach. Thank you for your effort. And thank you to all crossfitters who supported this.
I am obviously not up to speed with the whole buying crossfit thing, but who was coach and the staff battling with?
It was a tough journey, I'm sure!! God is good!
Coach Glassman- I'm going to need a a first class seat to Australia soon- HA!
Once again Coach you prove it to be true, "CrossFit is an Unstoppable Force!"

As a newbie to crossfit I have a question; what are people doing as their warm up before the WOD?

@49 Michael, check FAQ or just create a warm up. Specific or general, just hit one.
I have lived, eaten, slept and breathed CrossFit for the last 4 years since we at CrossFit Plymouth UK affiliated. My life has been enriched by the people that have walked through our doors and I have had the privilege of coaching. I have seen athlete's go from members to coach's to Regionals competitors. I have shared laughter, blood, sweat and tears with some of life's brightest shining stars. Before CrossFit my life was in the hands of corporate gym owners, since CrossFit my life and success is in my own hands. It pays the bills and provides the thrills!
Coach, I thank you for this opportunity you gave me. And now thank you for the many happy years to come. Good work!
Congratz Coach! Keep it real! Awesome
So good to hear! Thank you.
Congrats to Coach and to all of us!
Thank you, Coach! I'm glad you can put that behind you and that our integrity as a sport was maintained. Thanks for fighting for us and being a gentleman during the process. We lead by example-thanks for staying the course!

Bill M, #43,
The day the wire transfer was made we put one of our legal teams in AZ to the task of protecting us against the "lightening strike scenario".
Should something happen to me CF Inc. will become the property of my staff.
In the months and years to come we will build the trust that will carry CF forward for a thousand years.
Thank you, Everyone.

Wow, a response from Coach himself to my comment! To hear directly from the person who has had such a profound influence on my life is a real honor. Thank you, Coach, for ensuring that CrossFit will endure and continue to thrive and be a positive influence in people's lives.
That's an amazing photo. Love that.
Greg, I'm so proud of you. Well done. Well done...
Congratulations. Great to hear those private equity scumbags got rebuffed! As an affiliate owner, I love the current model because it allows me to spend most of my time focusing on training-which is why I got into this business in the first place.
Congratulations to Coach Glassman, the staff, and the Affiliates!!!
Congratulations to Sheila and Carol !!!! You lucky dogs you!!!
