Much like Dungeons and Dragons, Renaissance faires, and sex parties, CrossFit is something that everyone has heard of — but few have an accurate understanding of what it entails and who it’s for. “There are a lot of misconceptions and misinformation out there about CrossFit,” says CrossFit Games athlete and coach Christian Harris, founder of

F1 has been popular globally since its beginnings in the 1950s. While the auto racing competition always had fans in the US, especially after the first Grand Prix came to the US in 2012, the release of the Netflix docuseries “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” in 2019 kicked off a steep rise in popularity domestically.
