Castro is, along with CrossFit founder Greg Glassman, the most recognized face of CrossFit Headquarters.Beginning his CrossFit career as an intern in the original Santa Cruz gym in California while working as a Navy SEAL in Monterey, he’s now co-director of training and the Games director for CrossFit. Right now, we have the staff to do 20 seminars in a week, and we’re developing enough training staff to do 25 seminars in a week. For that, there are going to be people who don’t appreciate it and are going to attack. We had fun but had no idea what we were in for or what we were creating. I really enjoy the Big Bob sled we used at the Games, and I have that out at the ranch. Programming the Games is a really long journey. It was a small event; we just invited the best that we knew in the CrossFit community, and in July, we had our first-ever Games. We’ve made mistakes visually and in laying out the venue and the floor. I wasn’t a star or anything, but I was a wide receiver and started a couple of games. In our conversations and the hours of online videos that feature Castro on We spoke with Castro, 35, recently about that truth, his time with the Navy SEALs, his history with CrossFit and the CrossFit Games. All that recognition is just a side effect. There’s no reason to take that stance other than stunting our growth. Playing football was a good place for me, and I was able to blend in well there. He told me he’d completely changed his approach from that long and slow stuff. With that responsibility, there are times we need to make tough decisions that aren’t always popular, but we do things that are the right things to do. Everyone I meet and talk to is super cool and walks up to me to shake my hand and take pictures with me. We’re giving them the knowledge to start somewhere, to lead them on this path. That’s crazy, if you look at three years ago, when we were doing two or three per week. I could be enjoying the popularity and focused on making myself a fucking rock star, but that’s not what this is about.
In the 2008 Games (and seen in the documentary film Anthos won’t be involved. It’s not pressure, but there is responsibility with it, and I don’t take that lightly.
At the time, it was all long and slow, with lots of running and no weight training. Here’s where there would be a problem: If 30,000 people were opening affiliates and they were throwing bricks through windows and hurting people on a daily basis, we’d need to take a look at what we’re doing. I was highly skeptical at first. About 70, with 12 separate Level 1 seminars this coming week. We’re in this to make people’s lives better, to help people live healthier, happier, stronger lives.
Just like so many other people, I instantly saw results and was instantly hooked. But they eventually invited me to a Level 1 seminar.

Nicole and I are constantly developing more trainers for the Level 1 classes, and we’re always ahead of the curve.
Then Greg started asking me to help out at Level 1s, and I was really just an intern, moving chairs around and setting up. We’re not in this to win a popularity contest, and I don’t do what I do for CrossFit to be a character or celebrity. It’s really evidence of how popular this movement is and how quickly CrossFit is growing. A few people at HQ — a super small group — go back and forth about programming. He told me about CrossFit. High school was an interesting experience. We’ve had 35,000 people pass the Level 1 test to be a Level 1 certified trainer. And that role developed to where it is now six years later: I’m director of training with Nicole Carroll.
We won’t slow down the rate that people want to learn about CrossFit. I started running more, thinking that would help, but it really didn’t translate well. We’ll call it the Woodstock of Fitness.” We talked about it and we wanted CrossFit events, people camping and just having a big party.
