Featured Image – “While CrossFit challenges the world’s fittest, the program is designed for universal scalability, making it the perfect application for any committed individual, regardless of experience. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change the program. The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree, not kind.” – Greg Glasman (https://www.crossfit.com/what-is-crossfit).

In shot we have Celeste performing rope pulls from lying/sitting and in the background Lauren and Vicky performing the same. This is a great way to scale Rope Climbing to ensure that it suites your current level of fitness and capabilities. Our coaches at CrossFit Algoa are all well versed in scaling and adapting movements appropriately to challenge you and to ensure they suite your current needs!
