Healthcare is in crisis, no doubt, but the launch of the CrossFit Medical Society this week provides a bright light of hope on the horizon. Aiming to bridge the gap between fitness and healthcare, the CFMS will connect clinical practitioners with CrossFit coaches and community members with the goal of making the CF Affiliate a "health home". Anyone can join the CFMS for free at www.crossfitmedicalsociety.com and follow @crossfitmedicalsociety on Instagram

On a similar theme, BRIO + Nutrition is getting a professional office within CrossFit BRIO! Wrapping up her Masters of Science in Human Nutrition, Jocelyn will be connecting clinical nutrition with fitness and training within the CF Affiliate.
