When I was first approached to try CrossFit at Gem City CrossFit, I was a little nervous. Can someone my age (52) be able to do all the amazing workouts and Olympic lifts that are in the workouts? To my surprise, the coaches supervised my workouts and constantly kept a watchful eye on me.
Then, two months later, I was in a sledding accident that fractured my back. My coaches were in constant communication with me and slowly, after 3 months of not working out, I was released by my doctor to start working out at Gem City again. I was under tight scrutiny from the coaches, and under their guidance, I have fully recovered and have become much stronger.
While I still am the oldest member at Gem City CrossFit, I feel a part of the family and know that with my workouts and the guidance from the coaches, I will be able to be an active individual for the years to come. CrossFit is not only for the young. It’s for all ages. If you want to be able to move your body without aid as you get older, now is the time to join. Hey, you never know what you are capable of!
