A longtime rumored development in the sport of fitness has finally taken shape Thursday as the Professional Fitness Athletes Association(PFAA) has formed as a way for athletes within the sport of fitness to collectively organize and put forth a unified front for their voice and interests. The PFAA is officially incorporated as a Washington-based non-profit to serve the needs of the competitive fitness athlete community, and the formation comes at a time when the CrossFit community and the sport are in a massive state of flux. For the first time in history, CrossFit Inc. is going through an ownership change, and the sport is still working through the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic to try and salvage some of its season.

Membership for the PFAA currently includes all 60 qualified athletes for the 2020 CrossFit Games along with an additional collection of prominent hand-picked members of the CrossFit community who have historically played major roles in representing other areas of the sport such as masters, teenagers, teams, and national champions from around the world.

The primary function of the PFAA lies in its collective bargaining power by unifying athletes to augment their voices and interests to give them a seat at the table when it comes to the future of the sport, which includes the decision-making process for any changes or improvements being made. A handful of immediate matters include:

A major step for athletes: Every major professional sport with the exception of MMA has a players union or association that provides representation and collective bargaining on the athletes behalf. They also provide a key element of checks and balances to ensure that players and athletes dont get railroaded by corporations and organizations with only their interests in mind.

The PFAA is still in the early stages of development, and plenty of details are still needing to be hashed out, but the most crucial step in any moment of progress is the first. There is no question that the athletes are stronger together, and for the sport to evolve to reach its potential, unification will be a necessity.
