What is CrossFit and Is It For Anyone?

Stronger For Life program in Invictus Seattle. Learn more about if CrossFit is for anyone!

I started doing CF when I was 29 and I am now 45 – it’s been an amazing 16 years of seeing what my body is capable of doing. But more importantly, the health benefits, quality of life, and improving my longevity that come with it in hopes that I am doing it into my 90s and living independently.

CrossFit is not for everyone, yet anyone can do it and we’d like to expand our wings here at Invictus by offering our Stronger For Life (55+) group class. It’s no secret that as we age, our bodies start to slow down and life can become a little bit more challenging. How can we combat or reverse that? By making sure our older population is moving and grooving. Everyone needs a baseline of fitness so they can take care of themselves and live independently.

Here at Invictus, we welcome everyone and anyone of all ages and we’d like to offer a specialty class for anyone over the age of 55.

If I haven’t convinced you already, here are seven great reasons to start a Seniors Program:

Make a difference with this special population. We all have a relative who’s getting up there in age who can benefit from CrossFit. Most of our parents/relatives are probably sick and tired of hearing us talk about CrossFit anyway. They see us doing all kinds of crazy stuff and never think they can do anything like it. You can show them they can!

Our classes will start on Monday, July 1st, 2024 and we will offer 2 days a week to start with the possibility of adding more days 🙂 Join us on Mondays and Wednesdays at Invictus Fitness DT at 11 am for our hour classes. All levels are welcome, whether you’ve done CF before or if you have never done it – we will customize each day’s workout to your individual needs.

We will be hosting an informational session on Wednesday, June 19th 2024 at 11AM at Invictus Fitness . Come find out more about our Stronger For Life program/classes and be sure to bring a friend or two! Email nuno@crossfitinvictus.com for more information!
