CrossFit affiliates are independent gyms that operate under the CrossFit brand. They offer a variety of fitness classes that focus on high-intensity workouts, combining elements of weightlifting, cardio, and gymnastics. Each affiliate is owned and managed by individuals who have completed the necessary training and certification to use the CrossFit methodology. Affiliates create their own schedules, pricing, and community atmosphere while adhering to the core principles of CrossFit. This allows for a diverse range of experiences, as each gym can tailor its programs to meet the needs of its members while still promoting the overall CrossFit philosophy of functional fitness and community support.
