CrossFit Kids and Teens Fitness

Our CrossFit Kids and Teens return for their Fitness Class program next week.

On 22nd January CrossFit Auckland Kids and Teens Fitness programs featured in the weekend papers in an article titled “Good and Bad in Kids Fitness“. During the interview we were shocked, as I’m sure you were when reading the article, to hear about the “toddler treadmill” boom. As society continues to cottonwool our children, removing monkey bars and ropes from schools, and banning sports from play and lunch breaks, CrossFit Auckland Kids and Teens Fitness program continues to provide an environment where kids can grow up healthy, strong and have a life long love of working out – thus avoiding the common problems associated with childhood inactivity and obesity.

Healthy living requires that our kids push, pull, run, throw, climb, lift, jump, effectively and safely regardless of whether or not they play sports or athletics! There is no debating this truth.

The CrossFit Auckland Kids and Teens program provides fitness training at age appropriate levels, and focuses on making fitness fun, often turning components of the workout into games and fun challenges. Everyone loves to have fun, even the eldest of our teens enjoy fitness games. The skills and lessons children learn in the classes will carry over into their everyday lives and provide strong building blocks as they grow into young adults. Perhaps most importantly, physical activity develops children’s self-esteem and confidence. Their ability to overcome difficult situations improves and they simply enjoy a better, sunnier outlook on life.

Our kids and teens gym classes efficiently combine the most effective training methods of calisthenics, weightlifting, gymnastics and high intensity cardio.  CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program that works with whole body multidirectional movements – never isolation machines – to develop well rounded fitness. So as well as stimulating the vestibular system, improving cognitive function, and self esteem; participation in CrossFit Auckland Kids & Teens will develop children in 10 general physical skills that incorporate every aspect of athletic activity. These are Cardio Vascular and Respiratory Endurance, Stamina, Strength, Power, Speed, Flexibility, Agility, Accuracy, Balance and Coordination.

We are currently taking registrations for Term 1 which commences on Monday 6th February.

Phone CrossFit Auckland 09 415 8510 for more information, or view the Class Timetable and registrations page.

CrossFit Auckland XLR8 regular Maddie kicks ass...

“I am a New Zealand representative for surf lifesaving. My goal is to represent New Zealand at the 2012 World Championships in Adelaide in November and become a World Iron Woman Champion. I am currently on track to achieve my goal, having achieved a successful season in the pool. I will need top 3 results in the board, swim, ski and ironman at Nationals in March to be considered for the NZ Team. CrossFit is helping me to achieve my dream, by developing a strong core and running well under stress. This is a picture of me at the North Island Champs in Mount Maunganui on Anniversary weekend in the final run transition of the iron woman race. I placed second overall, a great result in flat, tough and very close conditions, and only marginally behind first place.”
