“Not giving up on life, getting to pick up my grandkids and play, and get up on the ground and off the ground — it’s a different life than I would’ve had without CrossFit.”

“When you lose your purpose, you get old. So I never want to lose my purpose.” 

“If you just sit around, your age will catch up with you. And if you keep moving, you kind of keep ahead of your age.”

There are plenty of reasons to make health and fitness a priority, and as we grow older, it’s even more important to live a longer, more independent life.

CrossFit masters athletes are living proof of what health and fitness can look like as we age. 

Whether it’s to keep up with grandkids, be an inspiration for others, remain self-reliant, or be the best version of yourself, it’s never too late to start.
