As CrossFit expands, owners are looking for new revenue streams and business building tactics.  Josh Felber and Brian Parana are the owners of CrossFit Akron and they have managed to incorporate endurance, swimming, and bootcamps into their CrossFit business without letting it effect the core methods of their training style.  It is a tough balance to find, but they have done an amazing job with it.

They also have a creative approach to their bootcamp that acts as a feeder program for their CrossFit memberships.  Brian and Josh touch on everything from opening their doors, advertising and social media tactics in this exclusive interview.  Enjoy as they spread the knowledge for you to use in your very own affiliate.
