Firebreather-turned-gym-owner Jimi Letchford runs CrossFit Ethos in Laguna Hills, Calif., and has opened his doors for Jordan Gravatt and his camera.
Whether you run a box, are thinking about opening one or just need some ideas about how to pimp out your garage, a look inside this well-equipped CrossFit powerhouse should give you some inspiration. While most of the equipment found in Letchford’s gym can be purchased at any great retailer, one piece of gear isn’t for sale or use: the original CrossFit HQ lifting platform.
“This is the original ,” Letchford says. “We’re very proud to have it here, and it’s going to stay with us until someone reclaims it.”
