AS HELPFUL AS POSSIBLE (AHAP)
We dream of a more inclusive Crossfit, a space where there are no barriers between athletes.
WHO ORGANIZES WODCELONA?
2 years ago, Marc Gil, founder of Limited Edition Athletes and Wodapalooza 2017 champion in his division, proposed to his sportaholic group of friends a project: to organize an international CrossFit competition in the city of Barcelona.
But he wasn't talking about just any competition. He was talking about a professional, fun and inclusive event, because it would have able-bodied and adaptive categories, something never seen in Europe before!
And since we are athletes and challenges motivate us, we decided to join him in this exciting madness. Thus was born WODCELONA, a place to have fun.
WODCELONA IS ONE OF THE PROJECTS LED BY LIMITED EDITION ATHLETES
Limited Edition Athletes (LEA) is a non-profit organization that works to promote functional fitness adapted to people with disabilities and vulnerable groups.
It is considered that sport is not inclusive if it is not adapted so that all people can have access to it. And, in particular, CrossFit is a discipline that allows the adaptation of the exercises whatever the condition of the person who practices it.
Encourage a change of mentality in society and in sport so that they become more inclusive.
To facilitate the development of people so that they reach their maximum level of physical, emotional and social well-being.
Disseminate their way of working so that it can be replicated in Crossfit and other disciplines.
ADAPTIVE SESSIONS
Adaptive Sessions are training sessions where athletes with recognized physical, sensory and/or intellectual disabilities are accompanied by volunteers to develop the training in the most efficient and safe way.
REPS AGAINST CANCER
Reps Against Cancer is a project coordinated together with the anesthesiology service of the Hospital del Mar in Barcelona, where patients in oncological processes train in a BOX to improve their functional basis, and reduce postoperative complications, as well as improve the quality of life of patients before and after surgery.
PISTOLDS
Dr. Maria Rosa Gutiérrez, in collaboration with the City Council of Malgrat de Mar, launched in early 2020 a comprehensive care program for people over 65 years old. LEA develops the functional fitness program adapted for the elderly.
SPORT EVENTS
LEA has attended various high-level sporting events, such as the Spartan Race in the 2018 and 2019 editions; Wodapalooza 2022; Zurich Marató de Barcelona, and a long etcetera. Always with the aim of giving the opportunity to athletes with disabilities to participate.
COMPETITIONS
LEA has collaborated in the organization of the different events of the Adaptive division of the CrossFit Open. In addition, LEA also collaborates with other entities in the development of adapted and inclusive competitions.
TRAININGS
LEA also provides training, lectures and seminars nationally and internationally on CrossFit Adapted for people who are professionally engaged in sport. It also conducts awareness days on functional diversity and training for its volunteer assistants of LEA athletes.
