While work-family dynamics are well-documented, limited attention has been given to the integration of physical fitness into a balanced lifestyle. This study explored the experiences of CrossFit participants in balancing family, work, and fitness within a South African context.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A qualitative, explorative-descriptive design was utilized.
