CrossFit Scottsdale 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 goal is to make fitness FUN while delivering 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 as well as laugh, work as a team, be confident, challenge themselves and become leaders, regardless of whether or not they play athletics.

CrossFit Scottsdale Kids uses a combination of skill practice, workouts and games to build strength and conditioning in children. Our classes include elements of gymnastics, weight lifting, body weight movements, running, jump roping, and more. Our goal is to make fitness FUN Specifically, CrossFit Scottsdale Kids teaches the 10 General Physical Skills. These skills are the base for any sport or discipline your child may pursue. In addition to learning new skills, you will notice your child makes better food choices, is more focused in school, transitions to new sports easier, and has a reduced risk of sport-related injury.

You will see your child have an increased ability to learn and succeed in other sports, once they have a base in CrossFit.

Your child’s confidence, both physically and mentally, will grow with each class.

Young Heroes – Ages 6-9, 45 MIN

Heroes (CrossFit Teens) – Ages 10-15, 45 MIN

Our teen program takes training to the next level. Students will continue to learn the 10 basic physical skills, including strength, cardiovascular conditioning, agility, coordination, and balance. In addition they will take a more in-depth exploration of the movements and programming consistent with CrossFit. Weight training will transition from dumbbells to barbells, with the emphasis still on using the least amount of weight possible to provoke a growth response in the body. Proper form will be priority number one. Workouts will be of higher intensity than and will more closely resemble an Adult Beginner class. There will be a strong emphasis on teamwork, communication and leadership skills, knowing that our Teens are just a few short steps from being grown-ups out in the “real” world.
