CrossFit Defined Fitness Over 20 Years Ago. Why Is Everyone Still Guessing?

When fitness experts Andy Galpin and Rich Roll recently spent valuable podcast time trying to define fitness, they came remarkably close to CrossFit's definition — the one we created over 20 years ago when we discovered no suitable definition existed. This article breaks down CrossFit's definition of fitness, the four models that support it, and why it remains the most robust, measurable framework for understanding human performance. If you're still searching for a functional definition of fitness, your search ends here.

I love how CrossFit Blueprint Core Roots can reshape mindset, and how the body, the heart, and the spiritual aspect of it flow into habit and mission, by embracing the core roots wholeheartedly without hesitation. Keep up the awesome work!

I was only listening to Greg Glassman's seminar lecture on "What is Fitness?" last week on YouTube. With all the blurriness in the Fitness World now with Hybrid and Hyrox etc. CrossFit and it's core roots is still the blueprint for the general population.
Keep up the good work!
