@forgivenkali Certainly and given my user name I’m all for clean shitters But many gyms can’t afford that. Forcing consolidation would raise prices. Toilets would work, prices would rise, fewer people could afford CF. If your goal is to maximize enterprise value, Berkshire is doing that...

@dawn16 Whoa take it easy pal. You think Roman cheated? Or maybe drug use is rampant across all sports and countries?

@chapelmusicworship Your box experienced rapid rent increases. Not much they can do. It suck’s that you got squeezed but I doubt you’ll see a Ferrari in the owner’s spot anytime soon

@keyboard0012 Narrator voice: they were NOT enough

@caleb_m False. Demonstrably false - the majority of CF gyms are in small cities and towns. 14 boxes around - but mostly outside of - Des Moines More boxes in small town Iowa than in Manhattan. Small town low amenity box is the backbone of CF.

@caleb_m There should be? I don’t think you understand. I’ll help. The magic of CF is that it fits anywhere. An affiliate can be a dumpy little garage on the edge of town or a big fancy box in the city. Doesnt matter. This is the reason there are so many more CrossFit boxes than there...

@caleb_m This is intended ONLY and I mean ONLY to increase the value of Berkshire’s asset. Berkshire owns a brand name that is subject to the whim of affiliates, over which they have no control. They wish to change that structure for their benefit, not for yours.

@grace4nan Hey dude The purpose of franchising is to create an asset which HQ can sell / control, rather than a gym that operates as it sees fit. In short, HQ works for you now. They want to change it so you work for them, then sell this thing to someone who cares even less

@grace4nan I got most of my legal training from Saul Goodman, but I thought CrossFit had almost unlimited discretion for disqualifying people.

@tressa52 People will down vote this, but I don’t care Outside of our little bubble, people think of CrossFit as pretend athletes. People think of go ruck as pretend soldiers If the pretend athlete corporation and the pretend soldier corporation joined forces, it were produced some of the...

@tressa52 I’m not really too wild about leaning EVEN HARDER into the rah rah military aspect of crossfit.

@jacbar123 Long posts are cool, I read them while I’m driving in between sips of gin. The answer is obvious right? The games are a really big deal to a really small fraction of the community. Just close them down. 4% of people would be steaming mad. The other 96% wouldn’t care

@jacbar123 I can’t imagine that the private equity owners of CrossFit want anything to do with drug testing or any of this bullshit. It’s just a whole bunch of headaches for no obvious financial benefit. Therefore, I don’t think the idea that they want to strategically and surreptitiously...

@casie I’m pretty sure your statement could be generalized throughout CF.

@grace4nan Lot of torn Achilles in the CF community….

@love4truth I know you’re sort of plugged in But you might not fully appreciate how dumb and unsophisticated the people in charge of this stuff really are.

@blizz Dressing like a Tri-Lambda was a nice touch

@zongruger You’re proving my point. Eventually the cannibalization stops and an equilibrium is reached. You shouldn’t have 5 gyms that close. CrossFit is the only gym business that charges premium membership prices for low end facilities and accommodations. $200 a month for a warehouse...

@zongruger This doesn’t work Let’s say I own a box. CF toilet swimmer And let’s say I hit the streets with some flair and get 350 members. Then I invest in my coaches and make them all better. Everybody gets paid right? Win win right? WRONG! Here’s how it plays out: a coach leaves...

@grace4nan They’re starting with a soft approach Gyms which paid more money to HQ will be recognized on the affiliate map. So if you want to stand out on the map Send them more money!
