Affiliate Starter Kit

Overview

The Affiliate Starter Kit is an interactive, detailed course designed to help prospective affiliate owners, like you, who are in the early stages of gym ownership. It will help you understand proper financial planning and budgeting, location scouting, lease negotiations, building your brand, and creating sales processes and marketing strategies. The guided course also provides templates, worksheets, and a community discussion board so you can optimize all the resources it has to offer.

The Starter Kit will give you the guidance and confidence needed to own a successful CrossFit affiliate. No matter what stage of the application process you are in, there is real and tangible value in the Affiliate Starter Kit.

Your purchase of the Application Fee will grant you access to the Affiliate Toolkit for twelve months initially; including access to the Affiliate Starter Kit. Once you are an active Affiliate, you will continue to have access to the Toolkit. The Toolkit is only available to affiliate owners and is home to the Affiliate Partner Network, Affiliate Roundtables, Affiliate Programming, the Affiliate Playbook, and the Affiliate Marketing Kit.
