KIDS & TEENS

MEET OUR KIDS COACH

Our very own Gemma Myers is our kids and teens coach, she is a mother of two boys and a qualified Veterinary Nurse. Gemma played top division league netball for most of her adult life prior to having her boys and starting CrossFit, and played multiple sports available to her at school. She has been crossfitting with us since 2018 and competed in high level competitions in our team. In early 2022, she obtained her CrossFit Level 1 Trainers Certificate and has full up-to-date DBS clearance. She is passionate about giving children the positive experience CrossFit has given to her and her family. Gemma knows the positivity that CrossFit can provide for children, not only for their health and well-being, but also for building strong social and mental capabilities.

VARIED PROGRAM

Kids is a strength and conditioning program combining gymnastics, bodyweight movements and weightlifting elements, which are designed to be fun for kids aged 6-16 years. Our program is not only designed to improve children’s physical well-being but it has many emotional benefits. Most of all we want to show kids, fitness and movement, doesn't have to be dull and repetitive. Our program changes on a day to day basis, so they will learn new skills regularly, which will keep them wanting more. Their bodies will constantly be adapting and be ready for anything, not only physically, but mentally too. Watch this transfer into real world situations.

Kids is meant to be fun for all ages. Fun means we provide an active alternative to sedentary pursuits, which means less childhood obesity and better health for our children.
If children grow up enjoying exercise and seeing the benefits to their health, they are more likely to maintain fitness throughout their lives.

HOW DO KIDS CLASSES WORK?

Each age group differs slightly, but the basics remain the same. The session will begin at the whiteboard, the children will then warm up (fun games are commonly used to warm up), learn a skill, complete a Workout Of the Day. Age range for classes is not set in stone and movement from one class to another depends on the child’s needs and development. All children are different and we aim to meet the demands of each and every one.
