CrossFit - Greg Glassman on the CrossFit Matriarchy
In this video, CrossFit Founder Greg Glassman discusses the choices to set CrossFit at the "tip of the spear" of fitness, and not alter CrossFit's presentation or approach in order to appeal specifically to women. He believes that our core women are tough, and not interested in being treated any differently because of their gender. And he'd like to keep those women around. Greg goes on to describe how women hold many key roles within CrossFit. In Glassman's words, CrossFit "is a matriarchy...that may not be abundantly clear to everyone, but this organization is owned, run, supported, managed...women are at least partners with men in every sense."
