CrossFit is suitable for all ages. The infinitely scalable programming can be tailored to any individual, so CrossFit gyms across the globe foster multigenerational communities. CrossFit Aptos in California is a great example of how to support and grow a fitness community that spans generations.
“We live in a community where there are a lot of young families, so we work to cater to those families,” says gym owner Samantha Gray. “It’s so much fun to have different generations of people together.”
Some of the members at CrossFit Aptos have recently had babies, so the coaches focus on helping them build their strength up safely as soon as they are cleared by a doctor to return to CrossFit.
On any given morning, you’ll find infants, toddlers, and young children accompanying their parents to the gym and spending time in the dedicated kids room with help from friends and gym staff members.
“It takes away some of the barriers for young families to be able to work out and stay healthy,” Gray says.
