We’re thrilled to return to Madison, where we’ve been able to form an incredible partnership with the city and local community.”

“The athlete experience and the test of fitness itself, is always front-of-mind for CrossFit,” said Justin Bergh, CrossFit’s general manager of sport. “But what I’m most excited about is the lasting impact we can make in host regions like Madison as we use the full strength of our education platform, network of coaches and gyms to introduce fitness to people at all levels.”
