On Episode 346 of CrossFit Radio, host Justin Judkins interviewed CrossFit Level 1 Seminar Staff member and North East Regional director Jason Ackerman. This episode was webcast on Sept. 10, 2014.
5:23 Jason Ackerman opened Albany CrossFit in 2007 and recently sold the business. He talked about his decision and the things he misses about being an affiliate owner. Now that he isn’t tied to one box, he said he enjoys hitting workouts at other gyms in the area. Ackerman is opening a new affiliate around the first of October and detailed some of the things he’ll do differently this time around. He added certain programs at Albany CrossFit but won’t make them a part of his new gym. As a longtime CrossFit coach and athlete, Ackerman said he’s seen some changes as more athletes consider CrossFit their sport of choice, and he explained how an affiliate owner can adapt to those changes.
