Greg Glassman, founder of CrossFit, Washington, DC, has bought the 50 percent share of the company owned by his wife, Lauren, who had had an agreement to sell her share to private equity firm Anthos Capital.
The transaction was completed Wednesday morning, Greg Glassman said today in an interview with Club Industry. The purchase was $16.09 million—the amount Lauren Glassman would have received after taxes upon the sale of her stock to Anthos Capital, Menlo Park, CA, which approached her last year with its $20 million offer. According to a judge’s order, Greg Glassman had until today to complete the transaction.

Glassman told Club Industry that Summit Partners, Boston, provided the $16.09 million loan for the transaction. Summit Partners, a venture capital firm, has invested in the industry in the past, most notably Snap Fitness, Chanhassen, MN.
