CrossFit Kids and Teens Summer 2023
We will hold 5 weeks of CrossFit Kids and CrossFit Teens classes Monday through Friday in summer 2023. For each 1-Week Camp, we must have a minimum of 5 kids enrolled to hold the session.
Enrollment is Open!
Class Structure
Each class begins with a warm-up, a skill component, and then a workout that incorporates the skill. The class structure includes an array of skills: coordination, agility, cardiovascular endurance, etc. During each class we focus on teaching proper technique in a fun way! This challenges young athletes in a safe environment to foster improvement in physical fitness at all skill levels. CrossFit Kids classes are for ages 5-9 and CrossFit Teens classes are for ages 10-16.

Fitness for a Lifetime
At CrossFit Optimistic we strive to instill in our young athletes the importance of a healthy active lifestyle. Through workouts and creating a dialogue about healthy eating, we teach kids that fitness is fun. With kids out of school for the summer, CrossFit is the perfect way to keep them active and ready for sports and P.E. in the fall! Even if your children are playing sports this summer, CrossFit is a great way to keep your child engaged learning new skills.
