Hooked on CrossFit from day one…

"I am a 50 year old male and have been doing LaLanne Fitness/CrossFit for a year. Yes, I was (am!) in a mid-life crisis. I was hooked on CrossFit from day one. I had been going to the regular gym pretty regularly, but I did the same thing over and over again and somehow expected different results...



...My workouts consisted of a lot of aerobic exercise (spin classes mostly), some occasional boxing classes and a little bit of weight machines. I sweated a lot, but never really put on any muscle mass of any sort and just was a calorie burning engine. I let my "workout" convince me that I could eat anything. My little heart-rate monitor would tell me I would burn at least a 1,000 calories during a spin class. But I was still at least 30 pounds overweight and had constant back pain that I thought was just something that happened with age..." -New Yelp Review
