A Better Beautiful
Greg Glassman, CEO anf founder of CrossFit, gets it. Commenting on the look of those at the CrossFit games 7 years after the event's launch. CrossFit is and always has been about a functional aesthetic, a wonderful antidote to the superficial, shallow images we are regularly bombarded with:
"Their bodies and our appreciation of them are a direct challenge to a host of pathological aesthetics, whether it’s the 16-year-old heroin-chic anorexia of the fashion world or the grotesqueness of
bodybuilding and drug-induced hypertrophy.
These athletes and spectators wear the look of enormous work capacity across broad
time and modal domains. Theirs is the look of true performance. This is what happens
when form, as it should and will, follows function."
