CrossFit Kids Is Kicking Off on Monday, April 20th!
CrossFit Kids combines the camaraderie and physical fitness of an adult class scaled down to an age appropriate and fun version for kids.
During our launch, we will be offering two programs: CrossFit Preschool for children aged 3-5 and CrossFit Kids for children aged 6-8. Classes will include age-appropriate programming that includes calisthenics, basic tumbling, running, climbing, throwing, and other modalities to stimulate bone density and vestibular system development while improving fine and gross motor skills, coordination, and flexibility. On top of physical development, social and cognitive growth is encouraged through teamwork, problem solving, and building the confidence that helps them make healthy choices.
Most importantly, CrossFit Kids is all about having FUN! Developing a positive association between fitness, physical activity, and the joy of movement is the primary goal of our program. Think of it like the gym class you wish you had growing up! To learn more about CrossFit Kids, please click here: crossfitkids.com
All of our CrossFit Kids coaches and assistants have completed the CrossFit Kids Trainer Course and passed a background check.
CrossFit Preschool and Kids Class Structure:
- Warm-up activity
- DROMs and intros
- Skill work and WOD
- Game
- Cool down
Sample WOD:
Collect the eggs!
AMEAP (As Many Eggs As Possible!) – 3:00 Min
- Alternating partner relay
- Kids will do 3 air squats before running across the gym and collecting one “egg” and running it back and tagging their partner
- We’ll vary the movements (run, bear crawl, etc.) they use to collect the egg to keep the workout fun
Sample CrossFit Kids game:
CrossFit Dodgeball
- Kids will be split into two teams
- Two red balls and two black balls will be placed in the center of the court
- If you are hit with a red ball, step to the sideline and do 5 air squats before re-entering the game
- If you are hit with a black ball, step to the sideline and do 5 burpees before re-entering the game
CrossFit Kids classes will run as 4-week sessions.

CFSBK Kids Club Is Also Still Running on Sundays at 9am!
CFSBK Kids Club is different than CrossFit Kids, and happens every Sunday at 9am. This isn’t your ordinary kids’ watch program! This one hour drop-off program is designed for children ages 3 to 8, and will keep them engaged with hands-on activities. While you’re working out, your child(ren) will have the opportunity to explore arts and crafts, science experiments, games, and movement. You’ll get peace of mind and they get an hour jam packed with FUN!
You do not need to RSVP to Kids Club through our website, but you do need to sign up at the Front Desk.
