## What MetFix is

MetFix (The Metabolic Fix) is a metabolic health education and gym affiliation platform. Affiliates are gyms, boxes, and training facilities accepted into the MetFix affiliate program and committed to implementing MetFix programming in their communities.

MetFix is an education platform, not a certification body. The Foundations Seminar and affiliate pathway represent the highest level of MetFix education within the MetFix community.

MetFix was co-founded by Emily Kaplan (CEO, MetFix and The Broken Science Initiative) and Greg Glassman (founder of CrossFit). The Broken Science Initiative (BSI) is the research and intellectual foundation behind MetFix. BSI identifies where chronic-disease science has gone wrong; MetFix is how those solutions get applied in gyms and communities.

## Who it is for

- Gym owners and affiliate operators
- Coaches and trainers
- Health leaders and practitioners
- Specialty audiences via course tracks: first responders, medical professionals, women in midlife / perimenopause, teen athletes, individuals managing metabolic health, and related coach populations

No medical background is required for most coach-facing courses. Physicians and medical professionals are welcome; a dedicated Medical Nutrition Training track exists for them.
