WHY CFV Kids & Teens?
Physical Benefits
Exercise is AWESOME! We believe time spent moving is more beneficial for our kids than time on devices or on a couch! Kids' brains are like little sponges, itching to make neurological connections and adaptations. These connections in the brain are made in response to stimuli. The more kids can be exposed to when they are young, the more connections and capacities they develop and retain for the rest of their lives!
Emotional Benefits
Exercise is AWESOME! Just like adults, it's possible that the emotional benefits of exercise for kids outweigh the physical. CrossFit is similar to sports and martial arts in how it can develop children on an emotional level. We'll work with kids on sportsmanship, leadership, teamwork, listening skills, self-discipline and manners. These skills, though not physical, will help kids succeed throughout life. In addition, the confidence level of children who have been doing CrossFit tends to improve. As their bodies become more able and their abilities expand, children generally become more physically active and less self-conscious in other athletic situations. Some children also experience a positive change in body image and boost in self-esteem. All great reasons to exercise!
Fitness as a Lifestyle
One of the main reasons for our CrossFit Kids program is instilling the value of fitness at an early age. It is also important to make sure kids find fitness fun – if children grow up associating working out with being something enjoyable and clearly seeing the benefits to their bodies and health, then they are more likely to keep fitness as a priority throughout their lives. Eating healthy becomes a natural and normal choice and being active becomes something they just do. It's their normal!
Through social interactions within our Kids programs, each child will be encouraged to develop and grow these skills in a safe and fun environment! Because this is CrossFit, kids will be introduced and become familiar with movements through skill work, games and much more. We also plan to add an educational component woven in each week amongst our classes.
