I agree, and disagree. You said, you don't see old people doing Crossfit. Now you are saying there is a difference in ratios of young vs old in any gym. What is you point here? There is a staggering ratio of young vs old on the planet, strangely enough, the higher you push the age, the less the numbers seem to be.
I'd also disagree that Crossfit is not an avenue for the average person looking for health and fitness. Rock up to any Crossfit class and 90% of the class will be average Jo's sweating it out. 10% will be slightly above average. You say "event", but not everyone that does Crossfit competes in the sport of fitness. Usually it's just a HIIT circuit class in a group format, surely you aren't against that? If you are, what would suggest people do in their 1 hr of exercise per day?
When you look in a gym, you see a lot of young people.
probably, one out of every thirty is a person above 40 seriously pushing serious weight.
regardless whether one goes to cross-fit for health or to participate in the events, cross-fit is a sport and training is based on that.
There is a staggering ratio of young vs old on the planet
Yes, more old than young.
There are more 80-100yo people on the planet than 15-20yo?
Fucked if I know, you're asking this question.
Yes, what's your point with old people?
No, I'd disagree, training (in a Crossfit gym) is based on bettering yourself, beating you best time, beating your PB's, not beating others.
Opinions will vary, We'll leave it at that.
I dunno, you could draw a lot of conclusions from it. Priorities change as you age
When your older your tolerance levels change and you can't handle training in a gym full of young dickheads
Confidence levels may change when you get older and you feel intimidated walking into a gym full of young people
Life gets in way when you are older (commitments else where)
Energy levels change when you get older
Joint pain
Many many variables as for the actual reason as to why they are more younger people training compared to the older folk.
but would never pay the high fees asked by crossfit, even if I was young and interested.
many of my gyms trained at were at athletic clubs, so access to Aust champions or national level athletes was never a problem.
Also, many top athletes also train at bb gyms.
I have no problem with crossfit, just say there are alternatives, much cheaper. A person just needs to look around to get a much cheaper deal and good athletic and strength training.
This is also the internet age with much knowledge and technique free, albeit one must have an ability to separate good and bad advice, as has always been the case.
