The Fitness Under Fire panel welcomes special guest Adam Neiffer to tackle the topic of whether the Open should be only done in CrossFit affiliates. They discuss the pros and cons of doing the Open inside and outside of the Affiliate.
Neiffer is known by many as the coach of two-time CrossFit Games champion Justin Medeiros but he's also the owner of CrossFit Fort Vancouver, a 17-year affiliate with over 350 members. The CF-L3 Trainer is also an accomplished athlete in his own right, winning the 2010 Affiliate Cup at the Games and stood on the Games podium again in 2017 when he captained CrossFit Fort Vancouver to a third place.
Brian Friend hosts and is joined by panelists Clay Hamilton and Scotty Freymond.
