If you’ve ever been curious about CrossFit but hesitated to join because you’re unsure if you’re “fit enough” or worried there’s no beginner option, you’re not alone. At CrossFit Civitas, we get these questions often: “Is there a beginners’ class?” or “Am I fit enough to do CrossFit?”
The truth is, CrossFit is for EVERYONE. Whether you’re a complete beginner, someone getting back into fitness, or an experienced athlete, every class is designed to meet you where you are. Here’s why you can walk into any of our classes with confidence, knowing you’ll get a great workout tailored to your experience.
Scaling: The Secret to CrossFit’s Inclusivity
One of the most misunderstood aspects of CrossFit is that you need to be in peak shape to participate. At CrossFit Civitas, our workouts are universally scalable. What does that mean?
Every workout of the day (WOD) is designed with a framework that can be adjusted based on your individual needs. Scaling allows us to modify movements, weights, reps, and even the intensity of a workout, ensuring that everyone gets a challenging and effective workout, no matter their current fitness level.
For example:
• If a workout includes pull-ups but you’re still building upper-body strength, we might scale to ring rows or assisted pull-ups.
• If the workout involves heavy barbell lifts, we’ll adjust the weight or even substitute a similar movement with lighter equipment until you’re ready to go heavier.
• Feeling like you’re ready to push harder? We’ll challenge you with more advanced variations to keep you progressing.
Our Coaches: Your Guides Every Step of the Way
One of the things that sets CrossFit Civitas apart is our team of highly experienced coaches. They’re here to ensure every athlete in the room gets what they need out of every session.
Before each workout, your coach will take time to explain every movement, guide you through proper form, and offer scaling options. They’ll also check in with you about how you’re feeling and what you might need to adjust that day.
This personalised attention makes every class feel like a custom experience. You’ll never be left wondering if you’re doing something correctly or if you’re keeping up with the group.
The Power of a Supportive Community
Walking into a CrossFit gym can feel intimidating, but one of the first things you’ll notice here at Civitas is just how welcoming and supportive our community is.
In any given class, you’ll find a mix of people at all stages of their fitness journey: beginners learning the basics, intermediate athletes building strength and endurance and experienced CrossFitters chasing personal records. Everyone is cheering each other on and celebrating progress, no matter how big or small.
When you join Civitas, you’re not just joining a gym; you’re becoming part of a team that’s here to help you succeed.
No Beginners Class Needed – Here’s Why
Many fitness programs separate beginners from experienced athletes, but CrossFit’s scalable nature makes this unnecessary and by keeping everyone in the same class, we create an environment where beginners can learn from experienced athletes, and experienced athletes stay motivated by helping build up others.
If you’re brand new to CrossFit, we’ll walk you through the basics in class and gradually build your confidence and abilities. If you’ve been doing CrossFit for years, we’ll push you to hit that next milestone. Either way, we as coaches will guide you towards your goals.
Every class is an opportunity to grow, learn, and improve, no matter where you’re starting.
“Am I Fit Enough for CrossFit?”
This is one of the most common questions we hear, and the answer is simple: Yes, you are.
CrossFit isn’t about being “fit enough” to start, it’s about starting where you are and getting fitter, stronger, and healthier over time. You don’t need to be able to lift heavy weights or master advanced gymnastics to show up. You just need to be willing to try, and we’ll handle the rest.
