What is MetFix?
Building on the methodology of CrossFit, MetFix is a protocol used to prevent and reverse chronic disease. It stresses that nothing is more important in doing so than learning how to eat well, emphasizing the oft-heard concept that “you can’t out train a bad diet”. It explains the why of this recommended method of eating - down to the cellular level - and provides the tools to successfully apply the “fix” for our metabolic health: off the carbs, off the couch!

How did we become an Affiliate?
In the fall of 2024, we got wind of this venture starting and were very interested in getting involved! A mission of fighting chronic disease - in the words of Coach Glassman, by providing “an elegant solution to the world’s most vexing problem” - felt like a return to why we became a CF affiliate in the first place. Thousands applied and we were fortunate enough to be selected via a thorough process to become a “founding 100” MetFix affiliate. We are really proud of this! {you can see our metfix profile here}
Do you offer “MetFix” training?
Yes! Finding those in the Denver area dealing with chronic disease, and starting them on a path towards health is a huge goal of ours. If this is you - someone who would not typically be interested in traditional CrossFit classes but wants to prevent and reverse anything from pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and obesity, to loss of fitness, bone density and self-sufficiency as you age - please reach out to E via email (ethan@crossfitwashpark.com) or call/text (505-980-6198) and he will meet with you to discuss a plan forward! We start this process in a 1-on-1 setting with the aim to build small group training options for people in these communities!
Is CFWP planning to unaffiliate from CF?
Nope! We are still proudly a CrossFit affiliate and have no plans for that to change. We view this as an “add-on” which allows us to continue learning and improving, and to share the latest info as it pertains to how the body processes protein, carbs and fat, and how that can help drive our choices for long term health.
What has happened so far?
MetFix is still in its early stages, building its network of experts and affiliates, and disseminating a vast amount of knowledge and resources. As a founding affiliate, E was able to attend just the second EVER MetFix Foundations course in June 2025. Such a cool experience and brought him back to his days as a science nerd both as an undergrad and during the non-CF part of his career!
As an example of resources shared, we are able to provide a daily recipe that meets our criteria: “Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seed, some starch, little fruit, no sugar, no seed oils.” Click “belly” below to access that every day! The “brain” offering relates to continuing our learning and education on these topics. *Note: though we have submitted workouts to MetFix to share, the daily “body” workouts presented with the MetFix plug-in are not what we use in class at CFWP).
