CrossFit Targeting Built using Contextual Signals

CrossFit is a high intensity functional fitness program that blends weightlifting, gymnastics and metabolic conditioning into constantly varied Workouts of the Day, known as WODs. Also searched as Functional Fitness, Cross Training and WOD Training, the topic and its major variations, including CrossFit Workouts, CrossFit WODs and the CrossFit Games, draw well over 400,000 searches a month worldwide, a large and highly engaged Audience actively working on their strength, fitness and performance.

CrossFit Targeting places your Ads beside that exact content in real time, next to articles like What Is CrossFit, Best CrossFit Workouts and CrossFit Workouts At Home. Instead of chasing an Audience with cookies, we match the topic itself, so your message reaches people at the moment they are reading about CrossFit, WODs and functional fitness.

The CrossFit Audience

The CrossFit Audience is dedicated, community driven and highly motivated, spanning beginners taking their first class through to competitive athletes chasing the CrossFit Games, and skews younger, higher earning and more active than the general population. Some are just starting out, searching CrossFit for beginners, box etiquette or how to scale a WOD. Others train daily and buy again and again: lifting shoes, grips, knee sleeves, gym memberships, programming apps, protein, pre workout and recovery products. That repeat purchase, replenishment behaviour makes them one of the most valuable Audiences in health and fitness. They are global, goal driven and quick to try new gear, programs and supplements, and they trust content, which is exactly why reaching them beside credible CrossFit workouts and training articles works so well for advertisers.

Why Advertise Around CrossFit Content

People reading content specifically about CrossFit are actively looking for workouts, equipment, programs and supplements for themselves, which makes them highly relevant to fitness and wellness advertisers. That content may sit on one of the premium Health websites, or as a single relevant article within a News, Sport, Lifestyle, Travel or Family site. URL level targeting finds those individual high intent pages, even when nothing else on the site relates to CrossFit.

Who Advertises with CrossFit Targeting

CrossFit content attracts a broad set of fitness, wellness and nutrition advertisers, from equipment and apparel brands to gyms, apps and supplement brands.

Advertiser Type Products and Services Buying Pattern
Fitness Equipment Barbells, Racks, Rowers and Home Gym Kit One Off
Activewear and Footwear Lifting Shoes, Training Apparel and Grips Repeat Purchase
Gyms and Studios CrossFit Boxes, Gym Memberships and Class Passes Lead Generation
Wellness and Fitness Apps Programming Apps, WOD Trackers and Wearables Repeat Purchase
Supplements and Nutrition Pre Workout, Protein, Electrolytes and Recovery Repeat Purchase
DTC Weight Loss and GLP-1 Weight Loss Programs, Coaching and Meal Plans Lead Generation

It is one of the few Audiences where equipment brands, service providers and supplement brands all reach the same high intent, in market reader.

Where Will My CrossFit Advertisements Run?

Your Ads run beside the real content this Audience reads across their journey. Early on that is explainer content, articles like What Is CrossFit, How To Do CrossFit Correctly and CrossFit For Beginners, as people work out how to start. As they go deeper they read about specific workouts and movements, from Best CrossFit Workouts and CrossFit Workout Plan to Murph CrossFit Workout and Hyrox vs CrossFit. Committed athletes keep reading Best CrossFit Shoes and CrossFit Open Explained while restocking gear and supplements. Contextual Targeting places your brand beside whichever of these pages a reader is on, in real time.
