The tin foil hat echo chamber that follows Greg and Sevan makes me uncomfortable. Being anti carbs is the other extreme to being addicted to junk food. There has to be a happy medium. 🤷🏻♀️
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. On a high level, this to me is like the smaller content streaming sites that come along (Rumble, Bitchute, etc) trying to de-throne UA-cam..
Inconsistent affiliate experience is so true. I left on box because they didn’t have a whiteboard or even promote tracking your workout score. They said scores discouraged people. I stink but I want to see how well I did vs others in order to push myself to get better. I think you’re supposed to push yourself, work on weaknesses and be motivated by the people better than you but some boxes are more about just being social and not focusing at all on growth.
I’m in the UK and you’re right most people find out about CF from the games and the sport not Greg . When I got in to CF I saw a picture of Greg Josh Bridges Rich and Andy Stumph I thought one of the 3 fit looking dudes was Greg not the overweight old guy 😂
@@Craig-pk5cc in non English speaking countries he is even less known. Glassman and the (No) Sugar Babes fitness company is not going to be very attractive in these countries
I will say, this is the most confusing thing about glassman. I’m sure he has a very good/conceited/humorous excuse for being out of shape, but at the end of the day it just screams of hypocrisy. And I actually really like Greg.
@@stephencarlevato1948 Yes, it’s hard to get behind a product when the creator doesn’t use it themselves. Especially when he starts talking about “no sugar” or whatever. Like, I don’t know a single person who actually does “no sugar”, and if they say they are they’re either lying or are about to die.
Met Fix sounds like the brand name of an energy drink aimed at the 55+ community. ‘Not greeting the day with the usual vim & vigor? Start your day off right with Met Fix! Just one serving provides you with everything needed to keep you moving, but without the jittery side-effects from unhealthy energy drinks. Get Met Fix to kick start your mornings!’
This isn’t really MetFix versus CrossFit, rather it’s about a brand new company now trying to compete all the groups that have popped up like F45, and the thousands of other weight loss, health, whatever groups. The noncompete isn’t really a worry, because Greg used to own a company that was “cutting edge”, but really was just a new bully in the fitness space. The landscape is completely different and while they might get some people to move forward, it will be a much harder sell, given some of the baggage Greg Glassman has. Doesn’t mean that they can’t make some money and make some change, but again, the landscape is way different today than it was even three years ago
Seems to be getting back to the roots. I think this is what Greg wanted back when he started firing staff and pushing for less focus on the games and sport of CrossFit. I love the sport and being competitive but I agree it has caused a glossing over of the foundation and why we should be doing this. It's unfortunate but I think it's because the sport direction is fun and exciting vs prioritizing nutrition first and focusing on the core methodology.
As I value your opinion John, don't you think this initiative may accelerate the process that will end the copyright of the term "CrossFit" in the same way it happened to Pilates?
@@constantlyvariedconversations it will further dilute the value of being a CF affiliate, at least in the US where Glassman is better known. In the end, CF will become a generic term or simply become one of many brands providing functional fitness. The end result is not much different
@@brooklynwillis1604 but does that mean high level (I.e. Elite) crossfitters are unhealthy? What's missing in the anti-carb zealot rhetoric is that carbs are just a fuel source for the body. What matters, more precisely, is what one does with the carbs they consume. Being anti-carb is the same as promoting the Mediterranean diet or the low-fat diet in the 80s and 90s. It's just another blanket approach to a nuanced topic.
Greg isn’t speaking to high level athletes, he’s speaking to ppl that over eat carbs and are metabolically unhealthy. It’s “off the carbs off the couch”. Some high level athletes could be metabolically unhealthy, there are some t2 Ironman and triathletes. we should be able to agree, most ppl under exercise, under eat protein and eat high calorie high fat and high carb junk food. That is who Greg is trying to help. 89 million pre diabetes, 39 million t2, cardiovascular disease is the worldwide #1 killer. You can’t dispute how many thousands of ppl crossfit has helped.
OK yes. I'll always be endlessly grateful to Greg for creating the CrossFit methodology. And I agree that most Westerners overeat carbs. Just think it's important to not vilify an entire macronutrient in lieu of understanding the details.
He’s not vilifying the entire macro of carbs, starch and fruit are in the ethos. It’s highly processed foods he’s vilifying. It could be worded better, but it has to be short and catchy for ppls attention spans.
I watched this twice and went to their website and still have no idea what on earth this actually is and what they’re actually trying to provide in the market.
Also.. you say CrossFit’s biggest weakness is the inconsistent affiliate experience… which is a fair statement. But Greg designed it that way and just felt the “cream would rise to the top” and other gyms would close. So what happened to that theory? Didn’t work out as expected did it?
I think thats the point I was making. He’ll try to take the good gyms and not the inconsistent ones. There is an inconsistent experience from gym to gym but there are a bunch that are spectacular.
Im not sure he's got the right target market. It does seem a little fishy to be bringing this out now only after crossfit has taken a hit by the recent tragedy. And, again I feel like without ordinary everyday people being involved with change, the target market where they should be pinpointing this is just another fitness craze. How is this different from crossfit? How will another nutritional coaching program be any different than what is out there? How is it not worthless? What makes this "fix" work differently than what is out there? This program is "only for affiliates"?
You seem to have missed the part where CrossFit affiliates (and HQ) nearly completely neglect the Base of their own pyramid...Nutrition...for many reasons that I could go into. GG is once again stepping up to clean up the mess left by other$ and address actual health for the masses. He has shown that he is putting his (non-profit maximizing) where his values are...why he's bringing in a bunch of business partners (to leach off his name and maximize profits) I don't know...but my guess would be that he doesn't want to work much and run a business any longer...but wants to promote health and gain a nice stipend.
What they are proposing now is exactly the same that Glassman was proposing when it was at CrossFit. Just changed the name. I hope CrossFit's legal team goes hard against him, that would be extremely ironic
What exactly could they sue him for? He does not have a non-compete clause, he owns all his written work from when owned CF and there is no IP infringement.
@@constantlyvariedconversations I m not a legal expert. All I know is that he is selling CrossFit but with a different name. Glassman was mad at anybody who did that in the past
@@samuele.marcora and currently CFHQ doesn't seem to be going after anyone who uses the CF name incorrectly. I am sure CF is watching this but don't think they have much on legal grounds to go after Glassman for.
@@samuele.marcorawhat is CrossFit? Metabolic conditioning, Olympic weight lifting and gymnastics. CrossFit has never gone after someone for doing CrossFit or CrossFit like workouts, they’ve gone after them for using CrossFit’s name without an affiliation. I’m sure Greg has nothing to worry about and CrossFit has bigger current problems that require their focus.
The tin foil hat echo chamber that follows Greg and Sevan makes me uncomfortable. Being anti carbs is the other extreme to being addicted to junk food. There has to be a happy medium. 🤷🏻♀️
Im not sure saying addiction to sugar and refined carbohydrates is tin foil hat science.
@@constantlyvariedconversations the tim foil echo chamber was more directed at things like vaccines and other conspiracy theories that get peddled
@@katefoster9743so basically if someone doesn’t agree with you then they’re a conspiracy theorist 🤦🏻♀️
Glassman: "The System is after your money, not your health".
Then creates a system for cosumers to buy.
Like CrossFit. If he was an honest player, CF and now MetFix would be not-for-profit organizations. He is just full of shite

It's really hard to take Greg seriously when discussing nutrition. He looks and sounds like he does AMRAPs of tequila shots.
I hope they find science that makes that healthy 😂
agreed Greg who literally was trying to kill CrossFit athletes as a goal is the last person tO isten about anything, ISN'T HE ALSO A WOMANIZER?
Yeah, that polio can be a bitch!!!
@@ckkevin9620I thought he had a bad dismount from gymnastics
Not sure about the name they chose... Met Fix? Breaking Bad are we?
Yo! Mr Glassman!
From Glassnan’s appearance, it looks like the MetFix methodology is an outstanding way to increase visceral fat.

Come one Greg, at least try to follow what you want to preach. This is lost on me. 😂

From an exercise prescription aspect, OPEX has really developed well.
Anyone, and I mean anyone, practicing CrossFit at a high level is eating a boatload of carbs. 🤔
And that’s why Greg was against the sport of CrossFit.

does Roza also lives here?
is this "Greg Glassman" or Emily Kaplan and her entourage using Greg's name. I doubt seriously that Greg is involved much.
They indicate he’s very involved
A subtle change with the "crossfit methodology" becoming the "glassman method".

Not an accurate summary of what I presented. That was more of an opinion 😆

How is it not worthless? What makes this "fix" work differently than what is out there?

I’m gonna have some of the leaders in their Org on soon to answer those questions
The timing is due to his non-compete with CrossFit ending the exact day of said tragedy.
His non compete ended ironically the same weekend as this years CF Games. 100% coincidence.
