Scalable based on your skill
Every day there is a particular workout prescribed that is completely scalable based on your skill. For example, if the workout calls for barbell squats with 135 pounds but you can only do squats with the bar (45 pounds), then that’s where you’ll start.

Crossfit Lingo
Crossfit might as well have its own dictionary.
- Box: Crossfit gyms are called "boxes."
- WOD: Stands for Workout Of the Day. This changes daily and is typically posted on a white board before class or on the Box's website.
- AMRAP: As many rounds as possible in an allotted time that is given by the coach.
- Various names of people you don't know: There are several benchmark WODs in Crossfit that are named after women (Helen, Fran, and Mary, for example).
How to find a good coach
A coach can make or break your experience.

A training session
You can get a training session before starting classes. This will depend on your gym (your box) but some offer a free session to teach the techniques.
Boxes also let you sign up for a series of beginner-specific classes before you jump in with everybody else.
The barbells
Bars come in a variety of weights, from 15 to 45 pounds, and those giant plates are available in sizes going down to 10 pounds.
That means the barbell has about the same shape and size no matter how heavy it is.
