ā€œAm I too old to start CrossFit?ā€

We hear this one a lot.

Coach Leonā€™s answer? Age isnā€™t the deciding factor.

Weā€™ve had people start CrossFit in their 60s and 70s. What matters is making the workout appropriate for the person doing it.

Thatā€™s where good coachingā€”and scalingā€”comes in.

Movements, weights, reps and intensity can all be adjusted to meet you where you are today, while still helping you get stronger, fitter and more capable.

You donā€™t need to get fit before you start. You just need to start at the right level for you.

Comfort feels good. And thatā€™s a problem.

At our latest Empower team training, WOD Father found himself doing a mini HYROX workout.

Did he enjoy it? No.

Was it good for him? Probably.

Because growth requires challenge.

One of the great things about CrossFitā€”and now HYROXā€”is the opportunity to keep encountering challenges we might not choose for ourselves. We build strength, fitness and resilience, but we also practise being uncomfortable, learning new things and discovering what weā€™re capable of.

The gym is where we practise doing hard things.

Life is where it pays off.

Whatā€™s best for strength?

Heavy weight. Fewer reps.

Research continues to show that if your goal is maximal strength, high-load training is king.

But hereā€™s where it gets interesting šŸ‘‡
Different training styles create different adaptations:
ā€¢ Heavy loads ā†’ strength & power
ā€¢ Higher volume ā†’ muscle growth
ā€¢ Lower volume ā†’ better recovery
ā€¢ Resistance training ā†’ brain & metabolic health

So what if you want all of it?
Thatā€™s where varied training matters.
Some days heavy.
Some days fast.
Some days lighter and longer.
Fitness isnā€™t one-dimensional ā€” and your training shouldnā€™t be either.

When was the last time you jumped?

Itā€™s something many of us gradually stop doing as we get olderā€”but there are good reasons to keep it up.

Jumping provides an impact stimulus that helps maintain bone density. It also trains power, balance, coordination and our ability to absorb force when we land.

And those skills matter in real life.

If you trip, miss a step or lose your balance, your body needs to react quickly, produce force and regain control.

Box jumps. Box jump-overs. Skipping. Small hops. There are lots of ways to train jumpingā€”and the movement can always be scaled to you.

At Empower, we incorporate jump training into our CrossFit and HYROX group classes, as well as personal and small group training.

Want to keep building the strength, power and physical skills that matter as you age? Come train with us. šŸ’Ŗ

HYROX curious? You donā€™t have to be registered for a race to start training.

HYROX is a fun, challenging mix of running and functional fitness that gives you something very tangible to train toward.

Your brain isnā€™t running the show alone. šŸ§ 

Your gut and brain are in constant conversationā€”and what scientists are learning about that relationship is changing how we think about metabolism, exercise, recovery and healthy aging.

The bigger lesson?

Your body works as a system. Train it, feed it, rest it and take care of it accordingly.

HYROX is about more than fitness. **Technique matters.** šŸŽÆ

This Sundayā€™s 8 AM HYROX class will be a **HYROX Technical Workshop**, focused on the details that can make a big difference on race day.

Whether youā€™re preparing for your first HYROX or looking to improve your next race, this is a chance to slow things down, ask questions and sharpen your approach.

And the timing is deliberate: itā€™s the morning after our sold-out **Empower HYROX Half**. If youā€™re competing Saturday, Sunday gives your body a break from another hard workout ā€” while giving you a chance to apply what you learned.

šŸ“… **Sunday, September 20**
ā° **8:00 AM**
šŸ“ Empower Every Body Fitness

Free for Empower CrossFit group class members. HYROX class-pass holders use one class from their pass.

**Sign up in Zen Planner.**

P.S. Our HYROX Half on Saturday is sold out, but spectators are welcome! Come by at **1 PM** and cheer on our athletes. šŸ“£
