They say you can climb the highest mountain if you don’t do it alone. Just look at Greg Glassman, CEO of CrossFit. Even after losing half of his fitness company in a divorce from his second wife/business partner Lauren Jenai, he rebuilt CrossFit all by himself, with some encouragement from his third wife Maggie Robinson.
So, who is Maggie, Greg’s third wife? Find out about her age and job as this article continues.
Meet Maggie Robinson, Greg Glassman’s wife at CrossFit
Maggie Robinson first met Greg Glassman in 2013. At the time, she was working as a waitress at a restaurant frequented by the CrossFit owner in San Diego. And they quickly fell in love. Well, at least that’s the version of the story Greg likes to tell.
But in reality, it was Greg’s legal director, Dale Saran, who first asked Maggie out on a date. Unfortunately, he fell asleep in the hot tub and someone had to take her home. “That person” was Greg.
Greg has just gotten out of a marriage, and Maggie, a struggling waitress, we can imagine how they might connect later.
In case you didn’t know, Greg was married to Lauren Jenai until 2013. Although the two filed for divorce in 2009, the drama of splitting their CrossFit business into two companies never ended. In fact, it wasn’t finalized until Lauren gave up half of her business.
Lauren reportedly received $16.2 million. But the four-year divorce battle she went through, raising four children on her own, sent her into such a negative spiral that she fell into depression.
CrossFit is now worth much more than it was in 2009 when the asset split took place. Greg reportedly secured the necessary funding in the form of loans from other companies he had close ties to in order to repay the $16.2 million that belonged to his ex-wife.
Likewise, Lauren is in a much better place. Today, she is the owner of Manifest, a company that helps non-elite athletes get healthier. Her love life, however, remains chaotic.
Last we checked, she was in a “complicated” relationship with her soon-to-be second husband Franklin Tyrone Tucker. Ironically, she still had to post Franklin’s $75,000 bail—it was originally set at $2 million! They are expected to divorce after Franklin’s case is resolved.
As for Greg’s first marriage, it was to Brande Jones, his childhood neighbor.

Maggie Robinson’s work
Maggie Robinson used to be a waitress. But after meeting Greg, she quit her job and started helping her husband with CrossFit.
Her husband, Greg, started CrossFit when he was 16. At the time, Glassman was unhappy with the way gymnasts strengthened their bodies. So, with functional movements in mind, he combined gymnastics with other techniques to develop almost an entire CrossFit program in his garage.
He then even dropped out of college to officially found CrossFit Inc. in 2000 in Santa Cruz, California. Today, from its first Seattle-based affiliate gym in 2005, the brand has grown to more than 13,000 gyms worldwide.
That doesn’t mean CrossFit is a top gym, though. The gym has had its fair share of controversy, especially because of some of its unorthodox social media management. Greg himself recently faced backlash for his insensitive tweets about George Floyd.
When Maggie isn’t working, she enjoys going out and traveling. She also spent a lot of time playing basketball when she was younger. In fact, she even participated in Crossfit games.
Fun Fact: Greg was kicked out of several gyms for being disruptive before getting his own space in 2001. It was only after he started posting workouts online and they went viral that people took notice.
