Why Do Consumers Put Their Bodies At Risk? a Reflexive Modernist Analysis of Crossfit’S Marketplace Culture

Our analysis unravels a set of sociocultural motivations for consumers’ embodied risk taking that are ideologically and experientially distinct from those highlighted by the extant existential and neoliberal explanations.
