A host of affiliated gyms, sponsors and athletes all moved to disassociate themselves with the CrossFit brand following a series of comments from company founder and CEO Greg Glassman about the death of George Floyd.
Jenny, the owner of Champlain Valley Community Fitness in Vermont, said it took all of 10 minutes Sunday for he and his wife to decide to disassociate their gym with the CrossFit brand. They also changed the facility's name from Champlain Valley CrossFit.
Reebok, one of the company's main sponsors, said it would end its relationship with CrossFit when its contract is up at the end this year. Rogue Fitness, another significant sponsor, rebuked Glassman and said the future relationship will depend “the direction and leadership within CrossFit HQ.” "I’ve decided that I cannot, in good conscience, compete during this time for a company that hasn’t shown themselves to have values that I align with," added Noah Ohlsen, the male runner-up in last year's CrossFit Games.
