CrossFit gyms can earn from weight-loss telehealth referrals by joining a partner program, sharing a QR code or link with members, and collecting a fixed marketing fee each month for every person who signs up through them and stays active. There is no clinical work, no inventory, and nothing to prescribe or ship. Your box points members toward licensed telehealth care, and the entire medical side happens somewhere else.
What a weight-loss referral stream looks like for your box
A referral stream is a way to earn from a conversation your coaches are already having, without launching a new service to run. Through the CrossFit Gyms program, your gym gets a unique QR code and a personal link. When a member scans the code or taps the link and signs up, that person is attributed to your box. From that point on, you earn a fixed marketing fee, deposited to your bank every month, for as long as that member keeps actively using the platform.
It is a marketing and referral relationship, not a medical practice and not a franchise. You are paid to introduce members to licensed telehealth care, and that is the whole arrangement.
Why it fits a CrossFit gym
Body composition, recovery, and weight management come up constantly in a box. Members ask coaches about it before the WOD, after a benchmark, and during on-ramp. Because the topic is already in the room, your coaches are the natural people to mention that licensed telehealth care exists, then step back and let the clinical side happen elsewhere.
The logistics fit, too. You already have a front desk or check-in wall where a QR code lives naturally, a tight-knit member community that trusts your coaches, and daily conversations about health goals. You do not need a medical license, a provider on staff, or any change to your class schedule or programming. The referral runs quietly alongside everything you already do.
Who handles the clinical side
None of the medical work touches your gym. Independent licensed providers do the prescribing, and licensed pharmacies handle fulfillment, refills, and shipping. Your box never stocks, dispenses, or ships anything. Where a provider decides treatment is appropriate, that may include options such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, but that decision sits entirely with the provider, never with your coaches.
Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies, so whether any individual member moves forward is decided by that provider alone. The platform is LegitScript-certified, and MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe.

What your gym does, and what it never touches
Your side is simple and entirely marketing. Display the QR code, share your link, and let members know the option is there. That is the complete job.
Everything clinical stays off your plate. There is no clinical work, no inventory, no prescribing, and no fulfillment on your side. Your gym never touches medication at any point in the process. You are making members aware of licensed care, not delivering it.
How the marketing fee works
You earn a fixed marketing fee for each active referred member, set in advance. It is not a commission, not a percentage, and not a cut of anyone's sales. It is a flat amount you know ahead of time, deposited to your bank every month for as long as each referred member stays active on the platform. Because the fee recurs, a handful of active referrals can build into steady, predictable income rather than a single one-time payout.
There is no cost to set any of this up. It is free to join, with no setup fee and no monthly fee, and nothing to buy. Your only investment is putting the QR code where members will see it. Because a box has natural foot traffic every day, turning QR-code referrals from foot traffic into monthly income shows how that steady flow of members can compound.
Common questions
Does my CrossFit gym pay anything to join?
No. It is free to join, with no setup fee, no monthly fee, and nothing to purchase. You share a QR code or link, and you earn a fixed marketing fee for each referred member who stays active.
Do my coaches have to do any clinical work?
No. There is no clinical work, no inventory, no prescribing, and no fulfillment on your side. Your coaches only make members aware that the option exists by sharing the code or link. The medical side happens entirely off your premises.
Is the fee a commission on sales?
No. The fee is a fixed marketing fee set in advance, not a commission, a percentage, or a cut of sales. You know the amount ahead of time, and it is paid monthly for as long as each referral stays active.
Who decides whether a member qualifies?
A licensed provider does. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies. Whether any member is a candidate is decided entirely by that provider, not by your gym.
Getting started
If your members already ask coaches about weight management, a referral stream lets your box earn from those conversations without adding a single clinical task. Explore the CrossFit Gyms program to see how the QR code, attribution, and monthly marketing fee fit together, or browse partner programs by industry to compare how other business types earn. Prefer to refer as an individual coach or influencer rather than the gym itself? The MedStands affiliate program works the same way. Joining is free, your gym holds no inventory, and it never touches medication.
