Average Scores by Level
Kelly is one of the longer benchmark workouts — 5 full rounds of running, box jumps, and wall balls. It tests sustained aerobic output and leg endurance over 25–50 minutes.
| Level | Time / Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 50+ min | Scale reps or weight |
| Intermediate | 35–50 min | Full Rx, steady pace |
| Advanced | 25–35 min | Strong runs, unbroken sets |
| Elite | Sub 25 min | Competitive CrossFit level |
Scaling Options
Reduce reps to 20 box jumps and 20 wall balls per round, or scale to step-ups and a lighter ball. This is a long workout — scaling to finish in under 45 minutes is appropriate for newer athletes.
Strategy Tips
Pace the runs from round one — there are 5 of them. The wall balls are the grinding movement; sets of 10-15 are sustainable. Box jumps can be done as step-ups without significant time penalty for intermediate athletes.
