Summary
The 2025 CrossFit Open is officially closed. Sean, Tommy and Lauren talk about what they liked these past three weeks and take a look ahead as we move to the semifinals. The World Fitness Project continues to release details about their inaugural season and have a way in which they're looking to partner with gyms. A former Olympian is interested in purchasing CrossFit. The crew discusses what Shawn Johnson could potentially bring to the table that would help grow the methodology and the sport. And finally, Chris Cooper from Two Brain Business talks with Sean about the impending sale of CrossFit, why someone might be interested in purchasing the brand, what are the key events over the last ten years that led us to this point, and what he thinks new owners need to do on day one.
