The CrossFit program is designed to be scaled. This makes it perfect for any committed individual, regardless of their current fitness level or experience. Thousands of athletes worldwide follow the workouts posted daily on the main site and other affiliate sites. They did not all begin as athletes. Many of them began their fitness journey with CrossFit, having had no prior experience with working out.

The unscaled version of the workout we post is designed to challenge someone in top physical condition. You are right - it is hard. Not everyone can complete the unscaled version of the workout, but don't let that discourage you. Your goals will be different, your ability level will be different, and your experience will be different. CrossFit will improve your overall fitness and health regardless of your current fitness level (or even lack of fitness level!).

To scale our workouts simply decrease the weight, intensity, repetitions or sets. If lifting 65 lbs is out of your range, use 45 lbs, 25 lbs or an unweighted PVC pipe. If you can't run, walk. Instead of 20 push-ups, do 10 or do two sets of 5. If 5 rounds is too much, do 3. Scaling our workouts is easy, yet still effective. If you would like to try one of our workouts, or a workout from the main site, but aren't sure how to scale it, we would be happy to help you figure it out. Drop us a line or come in and train with us and we'll show you how.

Any ability level can start and beginners make progress rather quickly. If you think you are too out of shape or not strong enough to start, think again!
