“Winners stay calm and channel that stress into productive energy. Losers complain, fly off the handle, and lose their cool. In my experience, this comes down to a fault in focus.”- Jason Khalipa

Crossfitter Endorsed Red Light Therapy Brand Kineon Seeking Investors
Kineon, the brand behind the red light therapy device taking over the CrossFit space, is asking for support from the community and individuals to invest in the brand as it rapidly grows.
The light therapy company launched a product called the “MOVE+ Pro LED & Laser,” which is a portable and convenient red light therapy device that aids in treating joint pain and inflammation. The company sold 9K units between September of 2022 and July of 2023, and has $3.5 million in sales value.
Remind me: The Kineon MOVE+ is a painless and non-invasive therapy that uses enhanced light therapy and is backed by elite crossfitters, such as Travis Mayer and Emily Rolfe. Morning Chalk Up’s very own writer Teaganne Finn tried the device for a month and did a review of the product and found it to work very well.
“Kineon is a biotech company that is dedicated to changing the way we approach chronic pain,” said COO/Founder Tom Sanderson. “We aim to provide a meaningful alternative to pharmaceuticals.”
The company’s offering is on the platform StartEngine; price per share starts at $1, with a minimum investment starting at $500.
Kineon previously raised $1.4 million on Indiegogo and achieved $3.5 million in TTM (trailing twelve months) with 23% MoM (month-over-month) revenue growth.
“By investing in Kineon, individuals have the chance to support a company that aims to make a positive impact on healthcare, improving the lives of the largest number of people,” said Sanderson.
Kineon’s target is the chronic pain market, which is expected to reach $142.5 billion by 2033, according to Kineon. The company’s red light therapy device the MOVE+ is aiming to reach this group of individuals in an easy and accessible way.
The way the device works is by placing the four modules onto the area in pain, turn it on, and let the device run its cycle which runs in five minute increments. The suggested duration is 15 minutes, which would be three cycles through the device. It’s painless and simple and can be used any time of day and really anywhere.
A number of notable CrossFit athletes have endorsed the MOVE+, including Brooke Wells, Ricky Garard, Christian Harris, among others. The company had a booth at the NOBULL CrossFit Games and has become very popular on social media.
“By investing in Kineon, you’re not only supporting our mission to develop revolutionary devices, but also investing in a world where pain relief is accessible and life-changing for everyone,” said Sanderson.

Tips for Starting a Nutrition Coaching Business
The foundation of CrossFit’s “Theoretical Hierarchy of Development,” as illustrated in “What is Fitness?” (October 2002) is nutrition. It’s the base that everything else in CrossFit is built upon and despite nutrition’s absolute critical importance, it can be tough to wade through all the information available online and elsewhere about how to fuel your body for fitness.
Looking Ahead, Part 2: A Preview of the Remaining 2023, Early 2024 Season
In a Morning Chalk Up article published in August, we looked ahead at the large “off-season” competitions that were coming our way, to round out the rest of 2023, and begin 2024. Many of those competitions have since taken place and new ones have been finalized and announced.
Below is an updated list of upcoming events, with additional details that we’ve gathered, as they have been publicly shared.
Hosted by CrossFit Crash, this large scale event will be host to elite level individuals and teams. Colten Mertens, James Sprague, Elijah EZ Muhammad, Kenzie Riley and Marquan Jones are all scheduled to compete. The prize purse is valued at over $25,000.
At this point, Rogue is less than a month away, and we have a complete picture of the Individual and Legends roster. The prize purse continues to be the largest of any off-season competition, paying out every athlete competing.
