Marc Gil, founder of Limited Edition Athletes, proposed a project to a group of friends: he wanted to organize an inclusive 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 that included adaptive categories. So he created Wodcelona, the most inclusive international crossfit competition in Europe. It's a fitness festival for the whole community. Everyone is encouraged to participate, and everyone is welcome. You can also sign up to be a volunteer at the event if you’re not an athlete yourself.

Wodcelona is a project of Limited Edition Athletes (LEA), a non-profit organization that works to promote functional fitness adapted to people with disabilities and vulnerable groups. Sport is considered non-inclusive if it is not adapted to the needs of all type of people. But crossfit is a discipline that allows the adaptation of exercises to the condition of the person who practices it. That’s why LEA uses crossfit as a mecanism to avoid exclusion.

Its objectives are:

• Raise awareness in society and in the sport field so that all together create a more inclusive world without any barriers.
• Help people in their development so that they reach their maximum degree of physical, emotional and social well being.
• Spread their way of working so that it can be replicated in crossfit and in other disciplines.
