The survey was sent to the top 200 men and top 200 women on the CrossFit Games 2024 Worldwide Rankings. The survey introduction read: “This survey is to gauge a temperature check specific to the Top 200 Individual Athletes and Games Athletes on plans for the upcoming 2025 season, recent announcements by CrossFit LLC and feedback on the CrossFit Games and Games team.”
The survey contained five sections: Demographics, Initial Reactions, Satisfaction on Specific Areas of CrossFit Games, 2025 Season Plans, and Additional Feedback. The regions were not released.
Of the 443 athletes contacted, 266 responded to the survey, with a 60% response rate. The survey results show that:
* 29.8% of athletes are “Contemplating being Completely Done” with CrossFit and the CrossFit Games.
* 27.7% are “Abstaining from CrossFit Games season until further action by CrossFit”.

* 11.7% prefer not to say at this time.
* 10.6% are working through a medical reason.
* 7.4% are thinking about retiring from CrossFit.
Fifty-six athletes provided additional feedback, which includes comments such as:
* “I am working hard every day because I want to be the fittest. But if tomorrow there is another organisation that allows us to compete against the best in another fitness organisation, I will go there.”
* “I really want the Games to go ahead and people to compete, but with the recent announcements, I think they have completely shot themselves in the foot and this could be the end for a lot of people.”
* “I don’t like Dave.”
The survey results indicate that top CrossFit athletes are frustrated with the recent announcements and changes made by CrossFit HQ. Many are considering alternative options, such as competing in off-season events or exploring other fitness competitions.
