The scaling is really fantastic. I started off barely able to do pull-ups on the heaviest band about a year ago. I still can't do an unassisted pull-up, but I can do more than one on the skinniest band.
I also love that at a good Crossfit gym, people are going to celebrate your accomplishments. I got my first toes-to-bar pretty recently, and told people in my class, and they all gave me a round of applause. And everyone's working toward something, even the really badass people. I love that at the end of a WOD, everyone's hurting. It's a great equalizer.

I'm glad it's working for you!
