CrossFit Kids

A Healthy Life Starts Now!!

Our view for CFC Kids is the same as for CrossFit Champions…to help people of all ages and backgrounds, of all interests and goals, to achieve their true fitness.  We want to teach kids and their parents how to start their lives from a healthy place, not dictated by a mirror or scale but by being healthy and fit from the inside out. Healthy weight and true fitness will allow a CFC Kids athlete to go beyond our training and succeed in at anything that they choose to pursue, from keeping up with their friends to making the team.

We are not specialists. We cannot tweek your curve ball or streamline your butterfly stroke. What we can do is build functional fitness, making them faster, stronger, quicker which allows them to avoid repetition injuries and stay in the game or in the water longer. We help your child build the foundation that the rest of their athletic life is built upon.

Our program is a combined effort here at CrossFit Champions and at home with the parents and kids. We teach proper nutrition and proper form. We help all of our athletes take it to the next level no matter where they are when they start the program.

The CrossFit Kids program was founded at Brand X Martial Arts in Ramona, CA by Mikki and Jeff Martin. They have laid the foundation that we are building upon. CFC Kids is an outstanding program which will help you and your child lead a healthy life for the rest of your lives.

From CrossFitKids.com:

“CrossFit Kids is the principal strength and conditioning program for many young athletes and the primary P.E. program for many home schools, 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.”

Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Healthy living requires that our kids push, pull, run, throw climb, lift, jump, effectively and safely regardless of whether or not they play athletics. Athletics is a specialized pursuit. Our goal is to support the specialist, but reward the generalist.
The CrossFit Kids program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience.

You’re Only As Good As Your Weakest Link

Our CFC Kids classes are 45 – 60 minutes long, depending on age group. Each workout starts with a standard warm-up that includes jogging, stretching and basic exercise movements. Weightlifting, body weight movements and cardio are all covered though not necessarily in each workout. New movements are explained and taught prior to the start of each workout. Each workout is scaled to the athlete’s abilities and skills. Between the workout and cool down is a game that incorporates some the same movements that were used in the workout.  A cool down follows with stretching finishing up the class. We discuss basics of anatomy or nutrition during stretching.

Most of all, each class is fun. We have a great group of kids here and want to make sure that exercise is enjoyable no matter where an athlete is currently at in their fitness.
