Discussion on Adaptive CrossFit & Equipment

cool and just you know for somebody just wanting to get into this and to just being an athlete in a wheelchair I'm an Adaptive athlete can you just give us a little bit of um about what type of chair they would be using or um you know what they what they should use other than just a regular chair absolutely so the first thing I would say is if you're interested in in getting involved in adaptive CrossFit whether you know there's an actual wheelchair gym or not just drop into any CrossFit box try multiple CrossFit boxes for one just like enable body there's a box that will fit your personality better than others there are some that are more accessible depending on like how old the warehouse space is they're in or or you know the industrial space as far as accessibility so check that out but I would say don't be afraid to start in your regular chair I started in my regular chair you know for a lot of us especially if you've never done this stuff the weight's going to be pretty light I started with an empty barbell when I first got going and then as you build into it there are now Fitness chairs performax which is an american-based company makes a great Fitness chair I'm actually excited I should get mine first so I got involved before Fitness shares actually existed right so this is technically a modified basketball chair which has a reinforced frame that helps with the with the barbells the anti-tippers and whatnot but I'm excited that I'm actually you know have partnered with performax where they're going to get me an actual Fitness chair that will have that same reinforced frame but I won't have the the off camber Wheels which you don't really need for CrossFit it will still have the anti-tipper because as you build you can get to a point to where it puts a lot of stress on your regular chair especially as you get heavier barbells and stuff and so don't be afraid to start but once you kind of build into it definitely want to look at some other Fitness chair options very cool thanks for sharing that now
