See class timesKnees on the stairs. A back that complains after yard work. Shoulders that ache at night. Most of it isn’t age. It’s muscle that stopped being asked to work, and strength training is what asks it again.
Grandkids who want to be picked up. A hiking trip with friends. A ski weekend with your spouse. You want to be the one who says yes, not the one who waits back at the lodge.
After 50, balance and bone density slip quietly, and one bad fall can take years of independence with it. Strong legs, a strong core, and steady balance are what prevent it.
Strength training is the answer to all three, and helping people over 50 build it is what we do best. Adults over 50 train in every class at Solus, with a coach who scales every workout to their body, their joints, and their level. Here’s how that works.
Every class at CrossFit Solus is led by a coach and written to scale. A 26-year-old and a 66-year-old do the same workout side by side, one with a barbell and one with a kettlebell or a box, and both leave stronger. That is why fitness over 50 in Sherman, TX does not need a separate “senior class” here. It needs a coach who knows how to adjust the load, the range, and the pace to you.

This class draws the over-50 crowd: retirees, empty-nesters, and folks who set their own hours. Same coaching, same programming, a room full of people at your stage of life.
Any Class We Offer
Prefer 5 AM before work, noon, or 4:30 in the evening? Every class time is yours. The coach scales the workout to you, whatever the clock says and whoever is on the mat next to you.
Every class runs the same arc, and a coach is on the floor for all of it, not watching from a desk. Here’s the hour, and what fitness over 50 in Sherman, TX actually looks like when you have a body with some miles on it.
Mobility and easy movement to get joints ready. Your coach checks in on anything that’s bothering you today.
One or two lifts, taught step by step. You pick the weight with your coach: a barbell, a dumbbell, or a PVC pipe on day one.
The same conditioning piece as everyone else, scaled: fewer reps, a lower box, a bike instead of a run. Hard for you, safe for you.
Stretch, breathe, and compare notes with the person next to you. Then, usually, coffee.
How We Scale
“Scaling” is the whole reason this works. The coach writes one workout for the class, then adjusts three things for you: the load, the range of motion, and the pace. Nobody is left doing chair exercises in the corner, and nobody is asked to do something their body isn’t ready for.
Sign up online in about a minute. Five coached classes, any times on the board, to see how this feels in your body.
Your coach learns your name, your goals, and anything you’re working around, then scales the workout on the spot.
Better balance, easier stairs, deeper sleep, and a group of people who notice when you’re not there.
The 9:00 AM class is where most of our over-50 members train, so start there if you want a room full of people at your stage of life. Every time on this board is coached, scalable, and open to anyone looking for fitness over 50 in Sherman, TX.

“I thought at first it wasn’t for me but I wanted to build and strengthen the muscles around my knee. When I started I could barely squat, now I can squat down to the floor. Everyone is very helpful and they always coach the right form.”

“I am the poster child for needing modified movements, the coaches are always wonderful and giving me alternative movements while still pushing me to get better. I miss this place!”

“Then 2024 I came back and ready for new adventures. Little did I know I would fall in love again. The people here are encouraging and supportive. The class I attend the ladies have become my second family. The coaches listen and help in every way possible.”

Yes, when it is coached and scaled, and at Solus every class is both. A coach is on the floor for the whole hour, every movement has a lighter, shorter, or slower version, and you choose the weight with your coach. Members in their 50s, 60s, and 70s train here every week. Tell your coach about any injury before class, and check with your doctor first if you have a significant condition.
No, and that is on purpose. Every class is scaled to each person in it, so you do the same workout as everyone else at your own load and pace. That said, the 9:00 AM class on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday naturally draws our over-50 crowd, so if you want a room full of people at your stage of life, start there.
No. Getting in shape is what the classes are for. On day one you might squat to a box and press a PVC pipe while the person next to you uses a barbell. Both of you get coached the same way. Most people who start with us over 50 had not trained in a decade or more.
Tell your coach before class. There is a version of every movement that works around a joint: a box under your squat, a press from a rack instead of overhead, a bike instead of a run. Many of our members over 50 came in with a knee or shoulder to protect and train around it every week.
Start with 5 classes for $55. After that, drop-ins are $25, and a full Solus membership with unlimited coached classes and unlimited Pilates starts at $179 a month, depending on how long you commit. There is no joining fee.
No. Men and women over 50 train in every class. The 9 AM group is mixed, and so is every other time on the board.
