Gym closed because it wanted to focus on fitness.
"Our underlying goal for the staff and members at CrossFit Infiltrate…is total health and well-being for the individual and community. Total health involves the body, the emotions, relationships, and the spirit. At the foundational detractor from health, as we believe God sets the parameters for, is pride. We believe that true health forever can only be found within humility, not pride.
The gym's social media was receiving hateful posts and comments, and by Tuesday evening members received an email from gym manager Martin saying that Lowe declared the gym was officially closing, a decision made by executives.
"One of the things I love about CrossFit is the inclusive community," said Becca Kimball, who had been a member at CrossFit Infiltrate for years. "It was clear from this action that the goals and beliefs of the director of the gym did not align with those of the members, coaches or manager Johnnie."
Russell Berger tweeted that the "tactics of some in the LGBTQ movement toward dissent is an existential threat to freedom of expression."
Berger was initially suspended by CrossFit on Wednesday, but by the end of the day, the company announced he had been fired. The company posted a statement to Twitter saying, "The statements made today by Russell Berger do not reflect the views of CrossFit Inc. For this reason, his employment with CrossFit has been terminated."
