Before the CrossFit Games existed, CrossFit Founder and CEO Greg Glassman once compared his open door model with the closed door model of another fitness program:
“The ... eliteness gimmick has produced a culture seriously handicapped
in its ability to produce top tier performance, and their revealed data
irrefutably supports that point. (Their best male performance is not a
match for our best females in Santa Cruz alone.) The elitist attitude is
directly and perfectly to blame. We've forged our best performers from a
large pool of people given equal and ample opportunity to develop their
fitness. Forged or screened by performance, not decided by authority.
This egalitarian, merit based, model of performance development has
economic advantage and manifests across all human activity ... The ‘wait
on the front porch’ model is destined to yield CrossFit Lite while the
‘CrossFit for the masses’ approach will continue to forge unprecedented
human performance. Keep watching.”
