The Most-Prestigious, Most-Talked-About, Most-Difficult Club to get into… the JumpNrope 100 Club!

The 100 Club started in 2013 by JumpNrope founder Molly Metz, who at the time was becoming more intrigued and fascinated with the methodology and practice of CrossFit. Her expertise and hands-on coaching experience in the sports of both jump rope and CrossFit brought to light a fundamental flaw, which was that CrossFit athletes were not understanding the two major aspects of her sport of jump rope: Power (the double under) and Speed.

While Molly agrees that the explosive movement of the double under is critical in CrossFit training, she also believes it is just as critical to work on the speed-step mechanics of the athletes’ feet and hips for a quick turn-around, as we see in running, spring ladders and other “fast feet” drills. Incorporating the 1-2 count of the rope passing under one foot to the next is no easy drill, in fact the 100 Club has proven to show that most CrossFit athletes are unable to hit 100 jumps (counting just the right foot, 200 total jumps) in 60 seconds. This achievable number is now one of the most challenged and talked about goals in the CrossFit community– just ask the current 52 members of the JumpNrope 100 Club!
