Athlete Profile-Doug Doherty

Doug Doherty just turned 76...and is a long-standing member of the CrossFit LifeSport family. If you haven't had the opportunity to workout with Doug, he's here at 7:30 AM 2-3 days a week.

“Susan, my late wife, and I were looking for a unique exercise program. Dave Murray had a wonderful article regarding CrossFit and his experience. We said, "that's for us!"  We interviewed Todd and signed up immediately. Along with CrossFit, we committed to the paleo lifestyle.”

Doug is a terrific example of how one should continue to take care of themselves, even in retirement. “As a 76 year old member, I hope that I inspire others to sustain an active lifestyle regardless of their age.” 

Doug is strong, and he works hard at CrossFit. But, this kind of fitness regimen is nothing new for him.   “I was recently inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame at Central Catholic High School. I played football, basketball, baseball, and track (sure beats studying) and earned 9 varsity letters.”
