49M considering local CrossFit recommendations for the 40s/50s crowd?
Former long-time gym rat who burnt out on standard commercial gyms (Global, YMCA, etc.). I did hot yoga and TRX for a while, but work and life got in the way. And cost to be real. At that time, I couldn't afford the monthly expense. So I quit. That was 10 or more years ago.
I’m 49(M) turning 50 next year and looking to get back into a fitness routine. No, not a mid-life crisis. I’ve come to realize fitness has always been 'my thing' - I’ve just spent years running from it, struggling to find something else when the answer was right in front of me the whole time.
A buddy suggested CrossFit, and while I used to be skeptical of it, I'm ready to give it a shot.
Looking for recommendations from anyone in the Kelowna area, especially the 40s/50s crowd:
* Any places to avoid if you aren't looking for hyper-competitive, 20/30s something energy?
* Have a solid, supportive vibe with good coaching on technique & injury prevention?
Starting over is a bit intimidating, so any honest input would be appreciated. Thanks in kind.
