The Glass Box: The Shocking True Story of How CrossFit Broke the Rules, Made Millions, and Changed Fitness Forever by Calum MarshMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Full Disclosure: I received an Advanced Reader's Copy of The Glass Box: The Shocking True Story of How CrossFit Broke the Rules, Made Millions, and Changed Fitness Forever by Calum Marsh from HarperOne via NetGalley. This book will be published around October 27, 2026.
I'll admit I had some preconceived notions about the cult of CrossFit prior to reading The Glass Box: The Shocking True Story of How CrossFit Broke the Rules, Made Millions, and Changed Fitness Forever by Calum Marsh. The first notion was that it is culty as the CrossFit adherents are pretty adamant that their way is the best way. It looked tough. It didn't always look safe. This book didn't necessarily convince me I was wrong, but it did give me a much better appreciation of why people get so into CrossFit and how the diet and exercise CrossFit promotes does have science behind it and does produce results even if the execution is sometimes flawed. I now realize how many of our current fitness trends have their roots in CrossFit. If you are/were ever into CrossFit or CrossFit-curious or enjoy reading about fitness, you will want to read this book.
