Dearest Roots,  I am heartbroken. The past five days have been a sloppy mess. Our staff, Eric, and I have poured our heart and soul into CrossFit for the past 12 years. It feels like my heart has been ripped from my chest.  I was devastated, sad, and angry to see the words of CrossFit’s founder mock both the pain and suffering in the Black community and the outrage many of us are feeling.  I want to start by making it crystal clear that CrossFit Roots proudly welcomes all.

We do not condone or support his actions and we will not stand with him or his comments. We are taking a deep breath. We’re going to coach some kick-ass classes tomorrow. We’re going to welcome everyone to the shop, as we always do, no matter their race, sex, gender, or religion. And we’re going to figure out our next steps that honor our values and our community. With love,Nicole and EricRead more
