Never fear, we have scaling options to make sure that you get in a great workout.

  • For those who have been doing wall walks during our “for quality” sessions, give this one a go at RX.

  • If you’re not comfortable walking all the way up the wall, you can perform the scaled version, which allows you to walk partially up the wall and then back down.

  • If you’re not comfortable on the wall, there is also a bear crawl option. 

  • You can start scaling at anytime during the workout. Your judge can note your score when you switch.

  • The most important thing is to move well throughout the workout. Many of us will be resting a fair amount in order to complete the wall walks.

When you arrive for your class tomorrow, sign up for a heat time on the whiteboard. There will be a warm-up for you to follow to prep your body (especially your shoulders and your calves). You will also be judging/counting/cheering on someone else during a different heat.

More details and the movement standards are on the CrossFit Games website. Remember, if you want to be eligible for Fog City swag, make sure to log your scores in Beyond the Whiteboard!
