Kids Can CrossFit Too!
CrossFit Kids teaches foundational functional movement patterns that carry over into every aspect of a child’s life—whether it’s sports, dance, gymnastics, or just playing at the park. These movements help create more efficient, well-rounded athletes while building lifelong habits for health and fitness.
Our program meets kids where they are, regardless of their fitness level, and helps them progress toward higher levels of physical capability in a fun and supportive environment.
Our kids classes are not just scaled down versions of the adult classes. This class addresses specific developmental needs of kids and is fun for everyone!
CrossFit Kids was founded in 2004 by Jeff and Mikki Martin and is a method for teaching Greg Glassman’s CrossFit to children, ages 3-18. Based on the principle of Mechanics => Consistency => Intensity, CrossFit Kids emphasizes good movement throughout childhood and adolescence. Consistently good mechanics translates to physical literacy, enhanced sports performance, and fewer sports injuries for kids. Not only that, a vast body of research indicates that exercise is beneficial to cognitive function, which means that consistent adherence to the program can have a positive impact on children’s academic achievement.
CROSSFIT KIDS IS MEANT TO BE BIG FUN FOR ALL AGES.
Broad-Inclusive-General fun. Fun means we provide an active alternative to sedentary pursuits, which means less childhood obesity and all-around better health for our children.
The needs of second graders and high school varsity wrestlers differ by degree and not kind; the program is scalable for any age or experience level and accounts for the varied maturation status one can find in a class full of kids.
