Episode 60: Going from Hating CrossFit to Owning CrossFit Frankfort

CrossFit Frankfort is a small town Box.

Located in Frankfort, Kentucky, it was the dream of Billie Jo Gannone’s husband. However, through a number of unexpected circumstances, Gannone now heads up the Affiliate while her husband works in the police force.

And the funny thing is, she hated CrossFit when she was first introduced to it.

But, over time that hatred shifted and now Gannone is growing a business. There have been successes and challenges along the way, but she’s learned through every experience. With a coaching feedback system in place that is working, and keeping to the core that is CrossFit, CrossFit Frankfort is a thriving business in this episode of Box Talk.
