Wait, they're not a franchise model? What is required for someone to open up a gym using the Crossfit name?

- oostevo 13y agoThey're under an affiliate rather than franchise model. I don't know enough about the differences to describe the differences other than to say that it seems to make Headquarters think they're unable to enforce standards once someone opens a gym. I haven't done it myself, but to open an affiliate you need to: (1) Write an essay. (2) Pass their Level 1 certification class (3) Have a website with a link to the Crossfit Journal (4) Pay them $3000 (annually) From: http://www.crossfit.com/how-to-affiliate http://www.crossfit.com/how-to-affiliate
- jlees 13y agoYou need to pay HQ a sum ($3000, iirc) to license the name "CrossFit". They will only agree to that if you've completed their Level 1 certification. Once you've done that and paid up, you're on your own...
