People often ask if they can do CrossFit if they’re overweight.   The answer: Yes! Anyone can do CrossFit.  In a one-on-one setting, coaches use CrossFit principles to create the perfect workout for a client. Each session is designed to challenge the client at the right level and move the person closer to their goals.  In a group setting, the workout for the class is modified to suit the needs of each participant.
