Deep Squats (Thoughts)

In January, 2015 Carrie Lee joined CrossFit Palo Alto. She was referred to us by her niece, who was a CrossFit coach in San Mateo. Her reason for joining was because she felt unsteady walking up and down the bleachers at her son’s baseball games.

Carrie Lee quickly became a stalwart of CFPA and the MWF 8am crew. She grew in strength and confidence while always a fixture at social events and The CrossFit Open. She even organized events, like a fundraiser to help offset the costs of my family’s travel to The CrossFit Games in 2017/18.

It felt natural to ask Carrie Lee if she had ever considered coaching CrossFit and doing it for seniors that may need a different style of program from our normal classes. We launched our Legends Class in October of 2018 with my mother in-law being her first member. From there, the class grew with friends of existing members spreading the word and our members referring their parents.

A few years ago, Carrie Lee bought a house in Montara on the coast near Half Moon Bay. She has dutifully continued to serve her class and community by making the drive over twice a week. However, the time has come to pass the torch.

Carrie Lee coached her last class at CFPA today. We are grateful for the years of membership and service. The friendship will continue forever.

After a few weeks of transition, the torch has been passed to Kristen, my wife. She has had her CrossFit Level 1 certificate for more than a decade, even filling in for me on many occasions. This will also be extra special for her as she will be coaching her mom in the class.

If you know/are someone who is “a bit older” or “more experienced at life” and interested in joining a fun group dedicated to reclaiming some strength and vitality, send us an email at [email protected] so we can get you introduced to more like minded people.

See you in class.
