“I dropped into a Friday evening class, the night before I was attending the CrossFit Level 2 seminar for the weekend. Coach Cody was extremely personable and helpful to make everyone feel welcome. Instruction and coaching during the workout was on point and Cody made it fun. I was really impressed with all of the equipment and space to train, and everything was nice and clean. Great facility and staff!” -Karen A.

“CrossFit Roots is by far the best. Period. I have been to several facilities across the country and there are so many reasons why I have such high praise for CrossFit Roots. The coaching staff is committed and professional. They are highly skilled in coaching to a higher level while scaling workouts based on individual physical (or mental) limitations. The coaches really love what they do, and it shows through the sense of humor and fun they bring to class. The community of athletes is supportive and encouraging no matter what class day or time you join. You never feel like you are “less” than anyone else in your abilities. Beginners are supported as equally as seasoned competitors. CrossFit Roots truly offers something for everyone – from youth to seniors, beginners to competitors.” -Lisa B.

“I dropped in to Roots for 3 days during a work trip to Boulder. Everyone was super welcoming — it’s such a great community.

Definitely recommend it!” -Alison H.

There are a number of different ways to scale a workout and we exercise all of them throughout a week. We can scale loads, rounds, weights, and movement range of motion – to name a few. In today’s workout, the workout specifically says “storm through for time.” For many, independent of if you scale the workout or not, what results does not reflect “storming through.” So for today, we’ve lowered the weight considerably for this workout and will work off of a percentage of max lift to figure out the loading for each lift. On average, the loads will be less than what is listed above or what we would have realized if we had scaled based on the bodyweight specifications. When you’re...
