CrossFit Kids Announcement

Ladies and Gentlemen, the moment you’ve all been waiting for… the return of CrossFit Kids is OFFICIAL.

Our next FitKids session runs from June 4 through July 23 and we’re fired up to get these kids moving again.

This program was intentionally designed to be a lot more than just an hour a week of exercise. We set out to help kids build confidence early, develop healthy habits that last a lifetime, and learn the value of discipline, effort, and teamwork in a safe, structured, age-appropriate environment.

Build Confidence Early

Develop Healthy Habits for Life

Improve Focus and Discipline

Learn Community and Teamwork

Have Fun While Doing Hard Things

Ages 7–11 (If they’re close to that range, shoot us a message. Perks of being a family-run small business.)

Thursdays | 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM

Led by Coach Ruthanne Schneider: highly experienced, highly credentialed, and highly enthusiastic about helping kids succeed.

$120 for the first child

$100 for each additional child

We are capping this session at 20 kids. Once it’s full, it’s full.

^Long range single arm banded bicep curls were a recommendation made by the one and only Chris Teed late last week. Messed around with it and really loved the long range of motion which ultimately inspired this back and bicep day. Enjoy!

Endurance W.O.D. – 30 Minutes (Time)

For Time…

21 – 15 – 9 – 9 – 15 – 21

Calorie Rower

Weighted Box Step Overs (30/20 Slam Ball) (20/20)

Calorie Ski

Balls Slams (30/20)

Intended Stimulus

This is a mixed modal conditioning workout with a very aggressive middle section.

The workout combines:

Cyclical engine work

Loaded movement

Explosive hinging

Constant transitions

The structure creates:

High breathing demand early

Faster turnover in the middle rounds

A grind back upward into fatigue late

The second set of 15 and final 21 are where pacing mistakes show up.

Time Domain Breakdown

Calories (Row/Ski)

21: 1:00 – 1:45

15: :45 – 1:15

9: :20 – :45

Weighted Step Overs

21: 1:30 – 3:00

15: 1:00 – 2:00

9: :30 – 1:15

Ball Slams

21: :45 – 1:30

15: :30 – 1:00

9: :20 – :45

Workout Expectation

Fast: 16–20 minutes

On pace: 20–26 minutes

Longer: 26–32+ minutes

This workout should feel:

Aerobic early

Fast through the middle

Muscularly demanding late

Movement Notes

Weighted Box Step Overs

Stay upright with the slam ball

Full extension on top of the box

Control the descent

Keep moving steadily instead of rushing

This movement becomes a breathing challenge more than a leg challenge over time.

Ball Slams

Use hips aggressively

Breathe at the top

Don’t turn this into an arm workout

The goal is rhythm and consistency.

Machines

Smooth effort

Don’t spike output early

Use the machines to settle breathing while still moving

Pacing Strategy

The opening 21 should NOT feel like a sprint

Push pace through the 9s

Prepare mentally for the climb back upward

A lot of athletes attack the middle too hard and pay for it badly in the final 15 and 21.

Step 1:

15 – 12 – 9 – 9 – 12 – 15 Reps

Ball: 20/10

Step 2: 21 – 15 – 9 – 9 – 15 – 21

Ball: 20/10

Step 3: Same as RX
