NSW group 1
Not sure how I feel about this.

It's a government contract directly with CrossFit HQ to provide training at Naval Special Warfare Center / Group 1; it's the 5th contract, at the absurdly low total price of $29,590, with a per unit price of about $5500. That's cheap.

CrossFit's history of training with the SEALs is a little complicated. NavSpecWar, you must recognize, is comprised of sickening, worthless bureaucrats directing zealous, hardworking commandos. It's the bureaucrats, for the most part, who buy the training, and they've made more mistakes than they've scored hits.

why the hell would the navy spend that money when there are plenty of people in the special operations community (and the army as a whole) who are already into cross-fit. I mean it seems to me it would be pretty easy to get someone to do a block of instruction or set up some sort of routine / class / pt period whatever.

interesting I wasnt aware there was a direct contract. Coming from the climbing community, I do know the seals and other folks in so use a number of other training facilities in the us for more specialized athletic training on a regular basis.
