Adaptive Athletic

“Anyone, regardless of their condition, can train. Everyone, to increase their function, must train.”

As seen on ABC 7 News, Fox 2 News, and profiled by the Challenged Athletes Foundation. I created the Adaptive Athletic program at San Francisco CrossFit to fill a gap. Everyone regardless of their physical condition needs to have a training practice. In my experience clinical “rehab” is not enough. When rehab ends, the true training begins. We provide support and experience to enable impaired individuals to become comfortable with the fundamentals of functional movement. This class is open to every type of physical impairment and disability, from minor to major: amputation, limb salvage, neurological issues, sensory impairment, joint replacements, traumatic brain injury, etc; With or without mobility aids (wheelchairs, hand crutches etc.). Any damage or abnormality to the muscular, skeletal and or neurological system can be accommodated.

We have several options for training: weekly classes, one-on-one private appointments and an annual clinic.

The class is designed to be a safe place to experiment in pushing your current physical boundaries. We have a supportive environment where you can learn from other like-minded individuals in an effort to achieve your goals. Our goal is to take you to your next level of athletic ability, whatever that may be. From the basic goals such as better balance, decreasing fatigue and pain reduction; to more advanced goals like running, weightlifting and gymnastics. Everyone has the potential to be an athlete. If you are ready to work, we are ready to show you the path to a more full and active life.​ ​If you would like to attend, send us a message below.

Also if you are a coach, trainer, or rehab professional (or aspiring professional) volunteer opportunities are available. Send us a message if you are interested.
