Who invented this sport?
Invented by former gymnast Greg Glassman, CrossFit has its origins in Santa Cruz, California, on the west coast of the United States. This method was invented in the gym and was initially considered as one of the options for a personal training program, aimed primarily at burning fat and improving functional condition.
At first, the idea of an all-inclusive fitness type did not receive much support. Glassman was kicked out of the gym, where he trained and promoted his “brainchild”. However, Greg did give up on his dream. Convinced that he was on the right track, he found a more open space in a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu studio where he spent another year training before finally opening his own gym, CrossFit Santa Cruz, in 1995. Glassman then created website, and began posting training programs there.
Soon, emails started coming in from people in the US, Canada and Europe with suggestions and good reviews about the program. Shortly , he began teaching CrossFit and issuing certificates.
After Glassman began issuing certificates to trainees, branches began to open throughout the city, and soon around the world. Furthermore, after some time, the CrossFit brand was patented, and in 2000 the eponymous company was opened. Having patented his brainchild, he obliged all owners of sports clubs where his method is practiced to pay him a percentage of income. In 2012, profits of his company amounted to $ 50 million, in 2013 it amounted to more than $ 100 million. Today, about 4,000 CrossFit branches operate on 6 continents. Tournaments are held and betting is growing in popularity.
In some countries (for example, in Canada), this sport is officially included in the training program for special forces of the armed forces, fire brigades. There is even a programme for kids designed specifically for children.
