CrossFit is for anybody, it is not however for everybody, it asks a certain degree of commitment, coming in a minimum of twice a week. You do have to sweat, like most things that are worthwhile in life, the effort you put into CrossFit is directly related to the results you get out of it.

CrossFit.com the "main-site" posts a workout of the day, it is meant to be tough enough to crush elite athletes. Many people, looking at the main-site, are really intimidated and think that because they cannot imagine being able to do that workout that CrossFit isn't for them.

No matter what your current fitness level CrossFit most definitely can be for you. CrossFit works for children through adults of any age. As Coach Glassman, the founder of CrossFit, once said the needs of an Olympic athlete and the needs of a grandmother differ by degree, not kind.

This means that for most people we scale or modify the workout when they first begin CrossFit. As people become more proficient with the movements and as they get stronger and in better condition, there is less need to modify and scale. This doesn't always happen overnight, age and current fitness level make each persons starting point unique. For many people the years logged at a computer or simply not taking care of themselves have taken a huge toll. It can take months,a year or more to be able to do the main-site workouts, some of us may never be able to do them as written, but we're in the best shape of our lives trying to get there.
