In our gym we believe deeply that exercise is a right of all, regardless of physical or motor limitations. For this reason and we have included in our program the method CrossFit Adaptive, giving to individuals with disability the possibility to exercise safely, with dignity and high quality.

What is CrossFit Adaptive? CrossFit Adaptive is a specialized approach of training CrossFit, adapted to the particular needs of each individual with disability or impairment – whether it concerns motor, sensory, neurological, or other form. The goal is not only the physical improvement, but mainly the strengthening of self-confidence, the development of functionality in daily life and the integration in the social context of training.

Our philosophy We consider that disability is not an obstacle, but simply a different starting point. We approach each trainee with respect and professionalism. Our goal is the smooth and gradual integration into the CrossFit section, so that trainees with disability train together with everyone, within an environment of support and cooperation.

What we offer in the CrossFit Adaptive program: Specialized assessment of physical condition & capabilities. Adaptation of exercises and equipment according to needs (in wheelchairs, with single upper or lower limb, sensory difficulties etc.). Personalized guidance from certified coaches with experience in the training of individuals with disability. Safe and empowering environment, with respect and understanding. Continuous progress and strengthening of functional movements for daily life.

Training together – not separately Our final step – and the long-term goal – is to integrate the individuals of the Adaptive program into the regular CrossFit sections, exercising next to the other athletes of the box. For us, this true integration is the essence of the concept "inclusion".

The strength is in the community Whether it concerns individuals with disability from injury, or from congenital impairments or neurological conditions, CrossFit Adaptive offers a real opportunity of life through movement and community.
