On this episode of the Legends and Masters Podcast, Wendy Guthrie, Head of Safety for CrossFit HQ, joins Warren for a deep dive into everything safety‑related across the CrossFit ecosystem since her hiring a year ago.

Wendy shares her unique professional path—from college athletics to the FBI to the U.S. Olympic Committee—and how those experiences shaped her approach to athlete and event safety. As a Senior Masters CrossFitter herself, she brings both professional expertise and personal perspective to the conversation.

We explore her impact on elevating the safety and security culture at the upcoming CrossFit Games, as well as her influence on Open, Quarterfinal, and Semifinal programming. And of course, Wendy offers insight into what it’s really like working for Dave Castro.

This episode offers a rare look behind the scenes at the people and processes keeping CrossFit athletes safe at every level of the sport.
