CrossFit Kids and Teens

I am excited to offer two days of fitness to our kids within the community and anyone else interested in trying out classes during their holiday break.

What is CrossFit Kids?
CrossFit is all about functional movement. Encouraging each athlete, regardless of their age, to move and enjoy fitness in new ways.

Each age division will focus on stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy. I will utilize our space and appropriate equipment to show each athlete they are capable of amazing things!

Classes will be 60 minutes long and include breaks for a snack/water - bring your own snacks :)

Classes will be capped at 15.

Kids of Current GICF Members: Classes are $30 each, or both days for $50 per child.

Kids of Non Members: Classes are $35 each, or both days for $60 per child.

Tuesday, Nov. 22:

9am-10:00am Ages 5-8
10:30-11:30am Ages 9-12

Back in 2019 (before the world completely turned 🙃) we had a simple partner competition as a way of bringing athletes together who didn’t typically train together. ⁣
⁣
Last year, the Turkey Throwdown was born - and this year we really saw it blossom.⁣
⁣
15 teams showcasing athletes from all class times, battling it out on a Saturday for bragging rights and the love of fitness.⁣
⁣
A competition cannot be thrown together overnight, it takes a TON of people and hard work to run smoothly.⁣
⁣
Thank you to our Friday set up crew, judges, volunteers and athletes for making this a day to remember 🦃 ⁣
⁣
Thank you to Meagan Del Sarto for these amazing photos 📷 ⁣
⁣
We have much to be grateful for.⁣

We don’t know them all, but we owe them all. ⁣
⁣
Veterans Day is Friday, November 11th. ⁣
⁣
Today we will complete “Tommy Mac”, which commemorates the life and legacy of Sgt. Thomas R. MacPherson, 26, was killed in action on October 12, 2012 by enemy forces during a heavy firefight while conducting combat operations in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan. He was leading an assault against an enemy position when he was mortally wounded by small arms fire.⁣
⁣
MacPherson was a team leader assigned to Company D, 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash. He previously served one deployment to Iraq and this was his fourth deployment to Afghanistan.⁣
⁣
Friday we will complete “21 Guns”: designed for “WOD With Warriors,” as a functional fitness tribute workout held twice a year on Veterans and Memorial Day in the US – “to honor our Nation’s’ Warriors, past, present and future.”⁣
⁣
The 21-minute workout and 21 repetitions signify a 21-gun salute, with an exercise for each of the five Branches of the Military. A 21 Gun Salute is the US’ highest display of honor, appropriately reserved for Fallen troops on Memorial Day.⁣
⁣
You can donate to support our Veterans by visiting Paralyzed Veterans of America, Wounded Warrior Project or K9s for Warriors. All websites are linked in our bio.⁣
