After the recent statements made by CrossFit CEO, Greg Glassman, we have made the decision to disaffiliate from the CrossFit brand. We have made our stance clear and we will continue to stand in solidarity with our athletes, coaches, families and friends, by providing a safe and inclusive training space for all.

This week, the world witnessed the unjust police brutality, which led to the death of George Floyd and the subsequent global uprising. We recognise the importance of speaking out.

Black Lives Matter.

CrossFit 1610 does not condone racism or police brutality, both of which are rife in our South African context too. SA has seen a rise in excessive police force and violence against individuals and communities, abusing their authoritative power during the lockdown period.

We recognise our privilege, and our responsibility to self-educate, be better allies, and use our power to amplify Black voices. Belonging to two marginalised groups, we also believe that it is vital to show up so that freedom is one day experienced universally. We do not pretend to have it all figured out, but we are committed to learning, sharing resources, and recognising our shortcomings.

Today, CrossFit 1610 is completing the George Floyd Tribute WOD. CrossFit is about community, and this community is taking a stand.

We will be running 2 online classes a day as of 26 March, where our CrossFit coaches will be live and supporting you and your family during your home WOD! Classes will be run on the Zoom App (please download the free app in preparation: https://zoom.us/.) Daily WODs will be posted on BoxChamp and videos of the movement standards will be available to you.

To assist in this transition, please come to collect some equipment for you to train with during this time. Equipment collection will be from 16h30 until 18h30 today, 25 March.

We are dedicated to keeping you on track with your fitness and health, and will continue to do whatever we can to support your goals. Please contact us should you need any guidance or assistance!
