About the CFMS

  • The CrossFit Medical Society™ (CFMS) was created to arm individuals with tools, resources and access to providers so they can regain control of their healthcare journey. We recognize that our current medical model is a reactive, centralized system that waits to treat disease instead of proactively partnering with individuals to prevent it. The CFMS aims to decentralize healthcare and return personal responsibility and choice to the individual. In other words, to help you take control of your health.

    The current medical model has stripped the provider-patient experience of one of its most sacred and impactful healing components—human connection. The CFMS has built a path so that providers have the opportunity to work with patients who share in recognizing the importance of lifestyle and community for achieving and maintaining health.

  • The CrossFit Medical Society's CME course is carefully designed to meet the evolving needs of modern healthcare. This evidence-based curriculum combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, enabling healthcare providers to confidently integrate CrossFit methodologies into their treatment plans. The course covers essential topics including:

    • Clinical applications of CrossFit methodology

    • Evidence-based health outcomes and research

    • Patient assessment and progress tracking

    • Safety considerations and scaling principles

    • Integration strategies for clinical practice

  • A core mission of the CrossFit Medical Society is to support affiliates in their evolution toward becoming comprehensive health homes within their communities. This transformation involves:

    • Building sustainable partnerships with local healthcare providers

    • Implementing standardized health monitoring and assessment protocols

    • Developing evidence-based programming for specific health conditions

    • Creating clear communication channels between affiliates and medical professionals

  • The CrossFit Medical Society envisions a healthcare ecosystem where CrossFit affiliates serve as essential community health hubs. This model has the potential to:

    • Improve access to preventative healthcare services

    • Reduce healthcare costs through effective lifestyle interventions

    • Foster stronger community health connections

    Through continued education, research, and collaboration, the CrossFit Medical Society is working to create a new paradigm in healthcare delivery - one that emphasizes prevention, community engagement, and sustainable lifestyle changes. By equipping both healthcare providers and affiliates with the necessary tools and knowledge, we're building a more effective and accessible healthcare system for all.
