What is CrossFit Kids?

**Click here to watch a video that demonstrates what CrossFit Kids is really all about! **

CrossFit Kids is not simply a scaled down version of CrossFit, it is entirely and absolutely CrossFit geared and designed for this special population and the specific developmental needs of this population. (i.e. neurological, cognitive, and motor.)

CrossFit Kids is the principal strength and conditioning program for many young athletes and the primary P.E. program for many home schools, and charter schools. It is used by athletic teams, martial arts schools and many parents that want their kids to grow up healthy, strong and have a life long love of working out, thus avoiding the common problems associated with childhood inactivity and obesity.

The CrossFit Kids program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive.  Healthy living requires that our kids push, pull, run, throw, climb, lift, jump, effectively and safely regardless of whether or not they participate in athletics.  The CrossFit Kids program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed child/individual regardless of experience!

Well established, the CrossFit Kids program is profoundly changing the lives of children and teens around the world, in the gym and beyond. We’re cultivating a group of kids who are better equipped to face whatever life brings them. It isn’t about winning or losing. It’s about character building and defining success in a positive manner.

CrossFit Kids are working from a different paradigm than most of their peers. They view themselves as competent and capable. Appropriate risk taking and weathering the storms of life come more naturally to them. They’re disciplined; they know how to persevere; they have learned to accept delayed gratification.
CrossFit Kids no longer look at obstacles as blocks to their progress. They see obstacles as opportunities to apply themselves and succeed.

It is rarely a question of whether they can do something. It’s a question of when they will do it.

Our goal at CrossFit Kids is to educate and enthuse children and teens about functional fitness. We believe these will be the foundational experiences our children require to embark on lifelong journeys of wellness which will enable them to effectively perform simple, yet necessary tasks well into their adult years. Our dream is to foster a generation of healthy, fit individuals who require limited assistance and enjoy freedom of movement and activity throughout their life spans.

Always functional, never boring, CrossFit Kids resolves the issues of our sedentary, noxious lifestyles. Working the body according to the way it was designed, we are training a generation to take responsibility for their health via the path of least resistance.

Most importantly, WE’RE HAVING FUN!!!

About Nutrition for Kids & Teens

Sane nutrition for kids in 150 words:

Our goal with kids isn’t to get them on a diet, but to get them to think and make good choices about what they eat. Our goal is to teach them very basic concepts, sugar is bad, protein is good and you need to eat some in every meal. Nuts and seeds are good fats. Eat them, don’t avoid them. Pasta, white bread, and white rice are not that good for you, stuff that’s red, yellow, green and found in the fruit and vegetable aisle is good for you. Eat a lot of it.

Look at your plate, make a fist, eat that much meat every meal; turn your hand over and fill it with nuts and seeds, eat that much good fat, fill the rest of your plate with stuff you found in the fruit and vegetable aisle. Fill your plate this way at every meal, don’t eat more.
