The Truth About Pilates, CrossFit, and Joint Pain — And How to Train Smarter for Longevity
Why You're Still in Pain
"If Pilates and CrossFit were enough, you wouldn't be in pain."
That’s the fire Ky Evans spits in a raw, unfiltered clip that exposes a hard truth: most mainstream fitness programs are failing the people who need them most.
Let’s Get Real
You're not broken. But you have been misled.
You’ve been told that stretching a little deeper or lifting a little heavier is the key to health. But if that were true, why are so many people who train this way still:
Dealing with chronic joint pain?
Recovering from surgeries?
Waking up stiff, tired, and afraid to move?
Pilates? It’s beautiful. CrossFit? It’s intense.
But neither were built for the realities of aging bodies, past injuries, or the need for sustainable strength. And that’s where most people get hurt — not from effort, but from mismatch.
What Ky Sees That Others Miss
In the video, Ky doesn’t hold back. With over 30,000 hours of coaching behind him, he calls out what most trainers are too afraid to say:
"Traditional fitness is built for 20-year-olds or pros. Not for you. Not for me. Not for 60-year-olds trying to pick up their grandkids without blowing out their back."
He’s not slamming other modalities just to stir drama. He’s telling the truth:
CrossFit thrives on intensity but lacks safety protocols for aging joints.
Pilates emphasizes mobility but fails to develop peak strength.
