[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Find a good crossfit studio.  It gets a bad rap, I promise.

But most have good coaches that will scale the WOD to his abilities and make sure he masters form.

Plus, there will be a bunch of dudes in their 20s who will welcome him with open arms and make him feel comfortable and safe in the gym.

We always love it when we have a teenager in the class[/quote]

This is because a lot of crossfitters are former "fat kids" - growing up we weren't into sports and there weren't as many non-sport/individual/coordination-not-required exercise options. [/quote]

Yup, and its the perfect atmosphere for a teen boy struggling with his body image or with his changing body.

There will be guys there that look like Thor.  And they'll be SUPER nice to him, and take him under their wing.  And he'll feel good about being "friends" with these guys that can do superhero things like deadlift 500lbs and then go string together muscle-ups.

It's the perfect environment for a kid like that.  Super welcoming and safe[/quote]
