Greg Glassman, founder and CEO of CrossFit Gyms, resigned his role following days of unrest at the fitness company. As reported by The New York Times, Glassman was on a Zoom call when he made what might be interpreted as racist remarks about George Floyd, whose death at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis sparked protests and demonstrations across the country. “I created a rift in the CrossFit community and unintentionally hurt many of its members,” he said in a statement. Glassman will maintain his ownership stake.

CrossFit, founded in 2000, is one of the largest fitness brands, with more than 6,000 affiliate gyms in the country and 14,000 worldwide.
