FAQ

Q. Do I need experience or some minimum level of fitness?
A. No. The workouts and exercises can be scaled to any level. I've have worked with everyone from ages seven to seventy.

Q. I have/had an injury. Can I still do the workouts?
A. Many of our members have successfully used CrossFit to rehabilitate from minor injuries. Because people continue to move, work, and play in the real world regardless of injury history, we believe the best route to long-term health is to learn perfect form on functional movements, then to slowly build strength in those movements, rather than to avoid them altogether. At the same time, I would be happy to work with you to scale and substitute exercises, to tailor workouts to your abilities. That said, I cannot offer you specific medical advice, and advise that you consult your physician before starting this (or any other) exercise program.

Q. Can I just come to CrossFit Dumbo and work out on my own?
