Yes, indeed. My long limbs / levers work against me lol.
Seriously, though...
People hate on crossfit a bit but they are good for teaching decent (effective) exercises and turning average folks (who don't take themselves to be athletic) and turning them into... Athletes, basically.

Passion. That is what is missing from most gyms. You need a bit of dedication / regularity in your training - but not really all that much before you can do something that you couldn't do before. Then that is the time to get excited and fired up by your accomplishment! Then on to your next goal. Helps a lot if you can find others to encourage you on... But not necessary.
Maybe you and your son could train together...
