What is CrossFit Kids?

CrossFit Kids is a generalized strength and conditioning program of constantly varied, functional movements.  The program utilizes the CrossFit methodology applied in a scaled manner suitable for children and focuses on the concept of pairing fitness with fun. CrossFit Kids incorporates many of the same movements done in the adult classes. Life, sport, and fitness require us to be able to run, jump, throw, hop, leap, pull, and push and our Kids program teaches just that in a fun and supportive environment. At CrossFit Kids children learn skills, knowledge, and discipline that help adolescents excel in everyday life and perform at a higher level in the classroom and on the playground.

What is a CrossFit Kids Class Like?

An example of a CrossFit Kids class would be a follow-the-leader warm-up, learning a skill or movement with PVC pipe, leap frog races, and would finish up with an obstacle course.  The class is run in a fun and encouraging environment that embraces the fact that kids will excel at different skills and exercises at different rates.

Who Can Participate?

Our CrossFit Kids classes are suitable for most kids ages 6-12.  Just like CrossFit for adults, CrossFit Kids is scalable to all ability levels.  The neat part about CrossFit Kids is the fact that because of the varied nature of the exercises and skills incorporated, every kid will excel and be challenged by different aspects of our program.  This creates a fantastic learning and team environment.

Who Are the Coaches?

CrossFit Roots Kids is staffed by a fantastic trio of coaches – Nicole Christensen, Zac Pine, and Stefanie Christensen. Nicole currently heads up the Kids program and got her coaching start, long before she started coaching adults, as the head coach of Donaldson Run, a swim team of 250 children ages 5-18.  Nicole, Zac, and Stefanie put the fun in functional fitness;)

What Should my Kid Wear?

Kids should come in athletic clothing and should bring a water bottle.  Either tennis shoes or skate shoes (like DCs or Vans) are great footwear for what we do.  Gatorade, other sports drinks, and fruit juices are not permitted at the shop.

Parents Role

We ask parents not to give instruction, coaching, or correction during class.  Parents have the option to drop-off and pick-up their child or to wait in the locker area of the shop.

How Does the Program Work?

Our CrossFit Kids program works in Sessions.  A Session is roughly 2 months in length and parents can purchase an 8, 10, 14, or 16 (in some cases) class punch-card for use within the Session.  Unused classes expire at the end of each Session.  We offer a 15% sibling discount for each additional punch-card purchased.  We offer a 15% discount to children of existing members.  Discounts may not be combined.

What is the Cost of CrossFit Kids?

Session 1
8 class punch-card: $128
10 class punch-card: $140
Full Session Pass (14 classes): $168
Additional class: $18/class
