Members sold their stuff to save their gym- 11 years of CrossFit 184

Members sold their stuff to save their gym- 11 years of CrossFit 184

We're flipping the mic and going deep into the origin story of CrossFit 184. In this raw, unedited interview, owner Zev shares the journey from a 23-year-old college wrestler with a business plan and determination to building a thriving gym with nearly 250 members. We talk about the original "dungeon" of a building, the early believers club that funded the gym before it even opened, and the member who showed up in her scrubs and ended up changing everything by investing in the dream. We get honest about the hardest season — the move to a new space, a brutal permitting process with the city, and the breaking point that led to a major shift in how the business (and the man behind it) operated. We also revisit the community rallying through COVID, the birth of "Murph Around Town," the systems and team-building that turned a stagnant gym into a sustainable one, and what it all means heading into the next decade. This one's got laughs, a few tears, and a whole lot of heart. Grab your headphones and come celebrate 11 years with us.

The CrossFit Open is the greatest celebration of health & fitness

We do the CrossFit Open… but we don’t “do” the Open. At CrossFit 184, the Open isn’t about qualifying or chasing the leaderboard—it’s a CELEBRATION, a yearly fitness checkup, and a chance to push yourself alongside your community. We talk health over fitness, why CrossFit is “exclusive”, and how the Open helps you measure progress at any age—from 40 to 60+ and beyond.
