The most absorbing, definitive account of CrossFit's orgins, its explosive grassroots growth and its emergence as a global phenomenon.

One of the most illuminating books ever written on a sports subculture, Learning to Breathe Fire combines vivid sports writing with a thoughtful mediation on what it means to be human.

In the book, veteran journalist J.C. HERZ explains the scienve of maximum effort, why the modern gym fails an obese society, and the psychic rewards of ending up on the floor feeling as though you're about to die.

“Learning to Breathe Fire is one of those books that come along every generation or so that brings to life a sub-culture so vividly, so deliciously that it makes you want to run out now and become a part of it!  Written with great verve, comprehensive research and a novelist’s knack for deft characterizations, this is CrossFit’s War and Peace.” --Charles Gaines, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Pumping Iron
