What others are saying
"It was amazing to learn in a deeper way about how to understand people. Like Greg Glassman said that our business is in the relationship business and we should be concerned about three things in our affiliate: caring, caring, caring! This course opened my mind to how to understand people and how to care more broadly. I've done several CrossFit courses and this course was one of the most impactful and gave me many useful tools to be used in my affiliate.."

I can't recommend this seminar enough to anyone who believes in CrossFit and the science behind it. Thank you for a fabulous day of education and for helping me see..."

"This course exceeded my expectations! I work with several larger bodied athletes and after the class I was given tools and support to be a better coach for these people and others that our gym will have in the future. It made me look at how I can improve as a coach and improve my facility as an affiliate owner. Go the the class you won't be disappointed. "
