What is CrossFit Auckland Teens?
CrossFit Auckland Teens is CrossFit training specifically designed for tweens and teenagers (11-18 years old). The CrossFit Auckland Teens programme aims to promote fitness at age appropriate levels, and focuses on making fitness training fun. The skills and lessons your children learn in the classes will carry over into their everyday lives and provide strong building blocks as they grow into young adults.
How can CrossFit Auckland Teens benefit my child?
CrossFit Auckland Teens focuses on a child’s motor and cognitive skills by teaching proper movement in an interactive and fun group setting through challenging the children to think about their movement, count their repetitions, remember the sequences, and work towards goals. CrossFit Auckland Teens supplements a child or teen’s involvement in sports by incorporating strength training and conditioning to make our CrossFit athletes better athletes at any sport.
In addition to increasing a child’s fitness and athleticism, CrossFit Auckland Teens:
- instills a lifelong definition of health and positive body image (what you can DO vs. how you LOOK)
- reverses prevalent health issues such as obesity
- protects against injury
- creates a community of like-minded individuals for support and self-confidence
- hones life skills such as focus, perseverance, dedication, motivation, and goal-setting
The goal of CrossFit Auckland Teens is to provide the knowledge, ability, and skills which will allow our youth to grow and mature instilled with the virtues of an active and healthy lifestyle.
How are CrossFit Auckland Teens classes are structured?
Our job as coaches is to make exercise fun and to help children and teens move better – safely and effectively – to prepare them for the rest of their lives. Certified and skilled coaches will supervise and run the teens classes. Classes are set up to include a warmup, skill training, workout, stretch. We facilitate a team environment which makes learning and exercise fun.
CrossFit Auckland regards its junior members as a team, and creates an environment where young people develop beneficial physical and emotional attributes. They learn to chip away at goal oriented tasks and discover that they can accomplish things that may at first appear difficult or challenging. We foster a positive attitude toward hard work as well as celebrate and enjoy accomplishment.

CrossFit Auckland Teens Testimonials
Joe started with CrossFit in March 2009 at age 12 with the specific objectives of improving his stamina, strength and fitness to support his performance for school and North Harbour representatives at hockey and cricket. Joe loves his personal coaching sessions and looks forward to the new challenges presented each week. I believe that the one on one coaching sessions have directly led to Joe being recognized as a North Harbour U13 representative for hockey and for his appointment prior to injury to the North Harbour A cricket team.
Joe’s cricket coach has acknowledged that Joe puts 100% into his fitness training to the point where he would win the CrossFit PUKIE award! We encourage this! Last week Joe was the first in his year to finish the Round the Bays run in 46 minutes– long distance running is not something we have targeted but the lessons he has learned at CrossFit Auckland have facilitated his ability to beat not just his class mates but his teachers.
Since Joe joined CrossFit Auckland his older brother Bobby Mayes (aged 17) and I have joined the Class Workout programme. We strongly recommend CrossFit Auckland to everyone irrespective of age, fitness or location.

William began CrossFit in February 2010 as part of the CrossFit Auckland Teens programme. William has both dyslexia and dyspraxia and began the programme with poor core strength and week physical fitness. The changes have been dramatic.
Academically, William has been able to focus better in class, organize himself and his items, and achieve mostly A’s in the first term report. Physically, William traditionally finishes last in the yearly cross country competition. This year, he was able to finish the race, without stopping, with another 15 students behind him. He does enjoy sport, but due to his dyspraxia, struggles with normal co-ordination activities. During cricket this season he scored the team’s 3rd highest run score and began regularly taking wickets. It has been remarkable the change in his ability to concentrate, focus, and co-ordinate during sports.
And to my surprise, after each session, whether it be a group CrossFit Auckland Teens session or a private coaching session, he is on a high. He loves it. I believe the change in his ability is due to CrossFit’s focus on core strength and co-ordination activities, linking the right and left brain functions. I have now begun personal coaching at CrossFit Auckland myself – it looks like too much fun.

After an injury start to Rachel’s netball session in 2009 and the recovery that went with it, we looked at options to improve her fitness. She was 12, very sporty and was playing School Netball and Hockey for the respective top teams in her age group. Combined with Club Netball and being selected for the Netball North Harbour Y8 Representative Squad there wasn’t a great deal of ‘Me Time’ between game and practice commitments.
On a recommendation from a team mate, Rachel began a Personal Training session with the lovely Emma that fitted into her busy schedule. Although she found it hard to start with, each week as different and as the year went on enjoyable. She recognized in herself she felt much better. She had much more energy and was playing netball so much better.
Teenagers have no idea about how important core strength is to their physical being and their sports. Rachel also grew 5 inches in the year and her body shape changed as she became a teenager. The fitness helped this process also.
At the end of the winter session people were saying how much her netball had improved.
When it came to the summer season with less sport commitments she also added a CrossFit Teen session to her routine (doing two actual fitness sessions in a week). During the end of the winter season and the summer term of Netball both the coaching staff at Kristin school and the Development Manager for Netball North Harbour said ‘Whatever Rachel is doing for her fitness – keep it up – as it has improved her playing ability out of sight.’
Rachel was asked to trial in early 2010 for the Netball North Harbour Performance Centre. She was ecstatic to be asked to join this select group after the trials and the commitment that goes with it.
We firmly believe CrossFit is what singly made the difference to her overall fitness that has allowed her to be selected into the Performance Centre and will continue to do what sessions are needed to maintain her fitness for her sporting commitments.
