Adler made a strong push on the final two days of competition to win the title.

Written by Amanda Dvorak Last updated on Aug 6, 2023

Canadian Jeffrey Adler has been crowned the Fittest Man on Earth® following the 2023 CrossFit Games that tested athletes’ physicality, mental toughness, and grit for four high-intensity days. This is Adler’s first title since his debut at the 2019 CrossFit Games and consecutive appearances each following year.

He closed out the competition with two event wins and a total of 953 points. Adler is the first Canadian Men’s competitor to stand atop the podium since James Fitzgerald won the inaugural Games in 2007.
