CrossFit Team Competition
One of the great things about CrossFit is that it is scalable and adaptable to truly ANY person, any age, at any fitness level. Whether you are just getting started on an exercise program, coming back after a long hiatus, or a seasoned veteran, the methodology behind CrossFit allows for invinite levels of scalability. And while many of those that do CrossFit simply enjoy training within their CrossFit gym, there are local and national events that allow those that are a bit more competitive a venue to put their skills and fitness to the test.
Team Sweat Shop competed this past weekend in the CrossFit Affiliate Cup. The team competition was just the kickoff for the entire weekend of the CrossFit Games, where individuals from CrossFit gyms around the world came to Aromas, CA to compete for the title of Fittest Man & Woman alive!
