Is CrossFit for everyone? No. CrossFit is for any one that is willing to put in some hard work and is willing to push themselves. Now with that said, any one can do CrossFit. Whether you are a 20years old, 50 years old, some one who is 5% body fat or 40%. Absolutely any one can start doing this stuff and every one can benefit from it. With proper coaching and scaling, any CrossFit workout can adapted to any individual. Here at Elysium we have a wide array of athletes and we care about each one just as much as the others... in all actuality, we probably are more inspired by the newbies who are coming into the gym and working hard and just getting started. Between the yelling, sweating, shirt-less workouts, obnoxious music etc... more experienced athletes forget how intimidating our gym can be to new people...
With all this said, check out this video of some of the coaches attacking the workout "Fran", going for personal records. Also watch some of our newer athletes go after "Fran" for the first time. with the different scaling options shown, you will see that really any one can do this stuff!
