Dear CrossFit Community,

Over the past year, thousands of boxes across the U.S. have been forced to close their doors and turn away their members due to government shutdown orders and restrictions. The impact on our businesses and our communities has been devastating. Many gyms shut down for good, and many others are still struggling to rebuild with increased debt, lost customers, unpaid bills, and reduced capacity.

Congress is considering a bill to provide critical support to help America's gyms survive and rebuild their businesses. But it won’t pass without your help.

CrossFit is working with other fitness organizations through the Community Gyms Coalition to try to convince Congress to provide the fitness industry with the same kind of relief it has provided to other hard-hit industries, like restaurants and live event venues. The GYMS Act would provide direct grants to help boxes and small gyms pay their bills and stay in business. 

Momentum is building, as the GYMS Act was recently introduced in the Senate by the bipartisan team of Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS), who have joined more than 120 House members from both parties in supporting the legislation.

Despite that progress, the GYMS Act won’t become law without your help.  

Please take two minutes to send an email or tweet to your senators and members of Congress to tell them to support the GYMS Act. 

After you contact your representatives and senators, please forward this email to as many people as possible — your members, trainers, friends, family, neighbors — and ask them to voice their support 

Also, if you have friends or family who live in San Francisco or New York state, please forward this message to them with an urgent request to contact their own local elected officials, Speaker Pelosi (SF) and Majority Leader Schumer (NY), who will help determine the fate of this bill. 

Fitness is worth fighting for. Ask your members of Congress to support the GYMS Act, and don’t stop asking until the GYMS Act is passed.

Thank you for your support,

Brett Ewer
