Hi, I'm Sarah - an Inclusive advocate, an Exercise Physiologist, the Owner/ Operator of Rehab RXD and the Adaptive Competition Director for Oceania's Largest CrossFit Sanctional Event - Torian Pro.

The Torian Pro is one of the most Inclusive premier CrossFit events in Australia, held in Brisbane from 22–24 May 2026. As an official qualifying event for the CrossFit Games (Able-Body), it attracts elite athletes from not only the Oceania region → but from across the globe!

Since 2023, the Torian Pro has partnered with us (Rehab RXD) to create legitimate, inclusive competition for adaptive athletes to compete in person at an elite, semi‑final level. Rehab RXD lead high-performance initiatives, sports-rehabilitation, and adaptive community training, and our involvement supports the delivery of competitive pathways and opportunities specifically designed for adaptive athletes.

In 2026, the Torian Pro x Rehab RXD will be running the BIGGEST Adaptive CrossFit Competition Australia has ever seen.

Thirty-Two Athletes. Sixteen men and women will form an elite adaptive field, competing as PRO individuals across six divisions: upper extremity, lower extremity, sensory impairment, intellectual disability, neuromuscular, and seated athletes.

Competing at this level requires significant personal investment from the athletes, including costs associated with:

• Competition registration
• Travel and accommodation
• Training
• Equipment, support, and recovery
• Support workers

This year, we aim to give back to the adaptive community and recognise the athletes’ hard work, dedication, and passion for adaptive CrossFit! However, running Adaptive Competition is extremely time-intensive and complex.

We may do it for love and accept that we run at a loss in the name of progress...

However, our athletes shouldn't have to.

This is not a "feel-good" event; this is an elite competition, with elite athletes, doing incredibly elite things - beyond anything many able-bodied athletes could even imagine.

Our support changes the game from "exhibition → competition".

Your support will contribute to:

• Prize packs for podium finishers
• Athlete goodie bags
• Direct athlete sponsorship

All donations are tax deductible and processed through the Australian Sports Foundation.

The pursuit of greatness is life-changing.

The impact of being able to make that pursuit of greatness, inclusive, is not only life-changing on the podium → but also life-changing, life-transforming and life-giving off the podium.

We've included a personal story from Aimee Robinson below to really put this impact in perspective.

Legend, thank you for reading this far.

Any Questions, please don't hesitate to email adaptive@torianpro.com

“My Personal Story”

Growing up with cerebral palsy was challenging. There were very few opportunities for me to be involved in sport or fitness, which often meant watching from the sidelines rather than participating.

In 2023, I saw footage of adaptive athletes training and competing on the Rehab RXD Instagram page, and something immediately clicked. It looked powerful, exciting, and possible.

I’ve used exercise to manage my condition for most of my adult life, but around two and a half years ago I felt the need to change my approach. I wasn’t entirely sure if adaptive CrossFit was possible or right for me. I wasn't sure whether it would help or hinder at that stage - but there was something magnetic about it that drew me in. I gave it a red hot go, and it changed everything.

CrossFit has:

• Improved my health and overall well-being
• Given me a sense of purpose during times when I felt there was none
• Helped me feel more confident and independent
• Deepened my understanding of how my disability impacts my body
• Provided a community and level of support I didn’t realise I needed

For adaptive athletes, opportunities to compete in CrossFit are limited. I choose to compete not just to race the clock or other athletes, but to push myself, challenge my limits, and stay motivated.

Over the past few years working with Rehab RXD, competing in the WheelWod Adaptive Open, Semifinals and local competitions, I’ve seen a significant increase in my strength and functional capacity- far beyond what I ever believed was possible.

• Bodweight sit to stands were difficult → I now squat a 50kg to a Bench
• My fall risk has halved. My walking endurance has doubled. My running capacity tripled.
• I have developed power and timing, where my brain is talking to my muscles 3-5x faster and more precisely.
• I can now jump and skip → I had never done that in my life, nor thought it was possible
• I'm waking up the right muscles, re-routing my brain and achieving things I was told I will never be able to do

This exponential progress led me to set a long‑standing goal: to compete at the Torian Pro, the ultimate elite CrossFit competition, held in my hometown of Brisbane. This year, I qualified.

It isn't without it's challenges...

I compete in the Neuro Major category and often face functional challenges in meeting certain movement standards due to the severity of my impairment. While this can make it difficult to be competitive, it has not stopped me - and facilitators like Rehab RXD try their best to level the playing field. I am incredibly proud to be achieving my goal of competing at the Torian Pro.

Beyond competition, representation in adaptive sport matters deeply to me.

Visibility creates inclusion, challenges assumptions, and shows others living with disability what is possible.
