What began as 70 athletes back in 2007 grew quickly, reaching 380,000 participants a decade later. At the time, CrossFit was widely viewed as the future of mass-participation functional fitness. Despite this, the trajectory didn’t continue as expected, with participation between 2018 and 2020 declining by over 45%.
