American CrossFit figure exposes registered sex offender coaching at CrossFit Forever

John Dorsey, known on Instagram as Goob, has made a striking revelation on social media about CrossFit Forever, a CrossFit box in Englewood, Colorado. According to him, one of the box's coaches is a registered sex offender, and the box allegedly tried to conceal that fact.

In his Instagram post, Goob shows how CrossFit Forever published an overview of nine coaches in which the individual in question was initially visible. Following critical responses, that information was reportedly edited or removed.

The case is drawing significant attention within the CrossFit community, as gyms typically work with vulnerable groups such as young people and beginners. The situation raises questions about how seriously boxes approach the screening of coaches.

For Dutch CrossFitters, this is an indirect but relevant matter. It underscores how important it is that Dutch sports clubs and CrossFit boxes thoroughly vet their coaches before bringing them on board.
