Crossfit Kids combines gymnastics, body-weight calisthenics, and weightlifting elements to develop capacity across 10 General Physical Skills, Children and Teens have a great opportunity to maximise their physical skills in a safe and fun environment.  For Crossfit Kids it is imperative to pair fitness and fun, thus creating a lifelong love of health and fitness for our children.  We focus on teaching them proper movement mechanics and creating a broad athletic foundation.

CrossFit Kids workouts consist of constantly varied, functional movements that deliver a fitness that is broad, inclusive  and all activities are scalable for any participant at any level.


So What Does This Mean?

Constantly varied means that, for the most part, no two workouts are the same, so kids and teens never get bored and the novelty of each workout keeps them excited about participating.
The functional movements involve exercises that are fundamental to all things that kids need to do when they play—- pull, push, run, throw, climb, lift and jump. All of the movements are taught safely and effectively under the close supervision of thoroughly trained CrossFit Kids and Crossfit  trainers.
Participants will become well-rounded athletes who will be better at any and every sport that they play because CrossFit Kids doesn’t coach them to be good at just one thing.
Our workouts will increase physical competence in 10 fitness domains: Cardiovascular and Respiratory Endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Agility, Balance, and Accuracy.

With workouts that are scalable, CrossFit Kids can equally benefit a person who is less active or an accomplished athlete by tailoring workouts so that each participant is challenged just enough to deliver measurable results and personal athletic progress.
CrossFit Kids aims to create an excitement about exercising and providing the foundation for a lifetime of healthy eating by focusing on the importance of good nutrition that complements physical activity.  The physical and mental demands of CrossFit Kids foster self-confidence, discipline, persistence, problem solving, and integrity that can be applied in all areas of Kids  lives.
