As we age, staying active and maintaining our health becomes even more critical. At CrossFit Structure, we understand the unique needs of adults over 50, and that’s why we’ve designed our Legends program, a workout program tailored to help you unlock the fountain of youth. Join our Legends group today and embrace a new chapter of vitality and well-being.
???? Why Adults Over 50 – Need to Lift Weights ????
- Combat Muscle Loss: As we age, we naturally experience muscle loss, leading to decreased strength and mobility. Lifting weights stimulates muscle growth and helps counteract this process, enabling you to stay active and independent for longer.
- Boost Bone Density: Osteoporosis is a concern for many seniors, but resistance training can help increase bone density and reduce the risk of fractures. Our expert trainers at CrossFit Structure ensure that you exercise safely and effectively, making the Legends program the ideal choice for those seeking stronger bones.
- Rev Up Your Metabolism: Aging often slows down metabolism, making it easier to gain weight. Strength training elevates your metabolism, aiding in weight management and promoting a healthier body composition.
- Enhance Cognitive Function: Regular weightlifting not only strengthens your body but also your mind. Studies show that resistance training improves cognitive function, memory, and overall mental sharpness.
- Increase Longevity: By incorporating weightlifting into your routine, you’re not just adding years to your life but life to your years. The longevity benefits of regular exercise are well-documented, and CrossFit Structure offers the perfect blend of fitness and fun to keep you motivated on this incredible journey.
Don’t let age hold you back; embrace the possibilities! Join us at CrossFit Structure and embark on a path to a healthier, more fulfilling life. Together, we’ll shatter the stereotypes of ageing and redefine what it means to be strong, vibrant, and unstoppable.

The starting process at CrossFit Structure
First you will start with a No Sweat Intro, you have no obligation to sign up with us, just come in for a chat have a look around and see if we are the right gym for you. You can book this appointment here. If we are not quite the right fit for you thats absolutely fine – please sign up with someone and get/keep moving though. We want you to live longer and healthier!
Once you have signed up, you will start with approximately 4 x 1-1 sessions with a coach, they will asses your current mobility and strength and also go through some of the movements you will see regularly during the classes. By the end of these 4 x 1-1 sessions you should have some confidence in joining the group class and you can go for it! If you are not quite ready for group classes, and want to stick with 1-1’s for a little longer, that’s perfectly fine and we will just keep the 1-1’s going!
