Certified or Certifiable?

This is exciting news for folks like me, who are certified CrossFit Level I instructors!  I am also certifiably crazy about what CrossFit training has done for me and for my family.


The American National Standards Institute (ANSI), a private non-profit organization that administers and coordinates the U.S. voluntary standardization and conformity assessment systems, is pleased to announce that CrossFit has been accredited under the Institute’s Certificate Accreditation Program (ANSI-CAP). The ANSI accreditation has been awarded to CrossFit’s Level 1 Trainer Certificate Course. CrossFit is the first in the fitness industry to distinguish its certificate training program from others in the field.

“We're proud to be accredited by ANSI. We consider this a hallmark achievement for our organization, recognizing a level of quality and credibility for our community and the trainers that make a livelihood in the fitness profession. This certificate is just one step in our ongoing commitment to ensuring CrossFit brings a reliable and recognized program to anyone interested in improving their health and fitness,” commented Nicole Carroll, CrossFit’s certification director.
