From Couch to 4,000 Workouts: How CrossFit Saved My Parents' Lives at 55

Seventeen years ago, Jocelyn Rylee, Level 4 CrossFit coach, Seminar Staff trainer, and owner of CrossFit Brio, convinced her two morbidly obese 55-year-old parents to do CrossFit. They couldn't do a lunge without assistance or run 800 meters. Today, they are 73, have both survived cancer, and have completed over 2,000 CrossFit workouts each. Jocelyn’s mom has lived 15 years longer than her own mother did, and her dad's cardiologists called his cardiovascular system "the cleanest they'd ever seen" after emergency open-heart surgery. This is proof that it's never too late to completely transform your life — but you have to be willing to start.
