2018 Focus Group Wrap Up and Road Map

, ,

Its FRIDAY!

And we want to send a HUGH thank you to the 100+ Athletes that participated in our 2018 Focus Groups to help steer CFML in a direction that you value most.

Some of the changes have already started taking place while others roll out in the coming months.

Right away you’ll see changes to how CFML approaches The CrossFit Open, additional community events that you value and improvement to programming, class structure and how the Coaches occurs in your class.

A shortened list is below if you want to dive in more!

Thank you again for sharing your genius and creating a place you highly value.
