Proven strategies and training for Coaches, Trainers, Affiliate Owners, and even friends and family
Master the fundamentals of working with larger bodies - because "one size fits all" doesn't work!
We want to equip you to better serve members other gyms can't or won't. This seminar was developed by Coaches and hundreds of larger-bodied athletes who understand chronic disease, larger body mechanics, scaling, movement modifications, and mindset psychology specific to this population.
This full-day, in-person seminar will cover not only how to physically train and progress athletes through movements commonly seen in CrossFit® and other types of functional-fitness training but also how to educate and empower trainers and gym owners to make their gyms a welcoming and compatible environment for Larger Bodies.

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 learned so much about humanity and empathy through this course from two of the most badass women I've ever met in my life. They honored Greg Glassman and the CrossFit methodology while also recognizing the need for growth and improvement. 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..."

"Say hello to playing with your kids, getting off medications, being confident in your own skin, and actual LIFE health. Our eyes were opened, our hearts were filled and most importantly we have more tools in our box to better serve our community. We want our future members to know… we see you. We will listen. We will challenge you, we will teach you and we won’t quit. Fellow CrossFit affiliates… this training is quite honestly spectacular. Sign up"

"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. "
