Challenged Athlete Foundation x CrossFit 1904 Adaptive Strength Clinics

Our CAF Partnership - Built for Every Athlete

A snapshot from a CAF x CrossFit 1904 Strength Clinic

For the past year, we've partnered with the Challenged Athletes Foundation to offer a free strength clinic to the adaptive community. CAF didn't have an existing strength offering, and we had the coaches, expertise, and equipment to fill that gap.

In one year, 30+ adaptive athletes discovered what we've always believed: they belong here, and they are strong.

CrossFit 1904 has been adaptive-friendly since day one. We offer equipment for seated athletes, athletes with prostheses, and coaches trained to work with visible and invisible disabilities.

I’ve worked with a wide range of adaptive athletes for six years.

Working with adaptive athletes has made me a better coach for all abilities. In order to truly adapt, you need to understand human movement in depth.

Strength training is for everyone of all ages and abilities. It’s never too late to get started, and there is nothing we cannot adapt to any individual. CAF has created a partnership with us at CrossFit 1904 to bring strength training to an incredible community.

A huge Highlight from
This Year

One of our original CAF clinic participants has been a member of the gym for about a year, Gavin Sippel. He completed in his first CrossFit Open in 2026, and wanted to try to qualify for the Wheel WOD Games.

Early June Gavin found out he is GAMES BOUND and will be competing in San Jose July 21–26th, 2026. We couldn't be more proud of the growth, strength, and confidence we have seen from Gavin over the past year - even though Coach Shawna is convinced she needs to wrap him in bubble wrap sometimes!
