CrossFit Kids was created by Jeff and Mikki Martin in 2004.
The original CrossFit Kids location was at their gym- Brand X in Ramona,
California and is currently in over 350 gyms worldwide. We are proud to be the
only certified CrossFit Kids providers in Africa and offer CrossFit Kids at CrossFit
B4C.
What is CrossFit Kids?
CrossFit Kids is a fitness programme geared towards
introducing children to fitness in a fun and exciting way. CrossFit Kids puts
constantly varied, functional movements together in a fun and exciting way to
encourage an create a lifelong love of fitness and optimal health (and it
happens to create the fittest kids on the planet).
How does it work?
Our speciality is not specializing. CrossFit Kids consists
of functional movements that are fundamental to all things that kids need to do
when they play and participants will become well rounded athletes who will be
better at any and every sport that they participate in, because
CrossFit Kids doesn't coach them to be good at one thing. We combine elements
from gymnastics, strength training and body weight exercises with cardio
intensive bursts in a constantly challenging way.
The workout of the day is functional, fast paced and
presented in a game style format. No two workouts are the same, so kids and
teens never get bored and the novelty of each workout keeps them excited about
participating. With workouts that are scaleable, 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 progress. All of the movements are taught safely and effectively
under the close supervision of trained CrossFit Kids Trainers.
Why CrossFit?
These workouts will not only result in physical gains such
as improved strength, power, speed, flexibility, balance, coordination,accuracy
and cardiovascular health, but will contribute to added self-esteem,
confidence, perseverance, mental clarity and focus. Simply put better overall
fitness and quality of life.
