The CrossFit Open brings athletes of all levels together for a three-week global competition; after this only 2 per cent of competitors from each age group advance to the semi-finals.

This year four members of the Daylesford CrossFit team reached this impressive milestone, pictured above from left, Leah Willian, Jason Dash, Leigh Hawker and Stewart Roche.

Over the course of three gruelling days, these athletes tackled five heavy-hitting workouts, pushing themselves to the limit, and showcasing their dedication.

All four athletes are over 60 years of age, proving that age is no barrier.

Lachlan Hawker, owner and head coach of Daylesford CrossFit, said CrossFit was for everyone.

“We have athletes ranging from teenagers to legends in their 80s.”
