The Benefits Of CrossFit For Children

There are many benefits of CrossFit in children, where it can make a big difference in both their physical and mental confidence.

In taking CrossFit classes, children can also find a community of friends and adults that support their growth and overall happiness.

Emily Jenkins, a Level 3 CrossFit coach, has observed these benefits in the gym and also sees the learning that takes place within classes: “Not only do children practice moving their bodies, but they learn how to deal with adversity, find joy in others’ accomplishments, and empower themselves to do difficult things.” It's never too late OR early to start a CrossFit journey, the benefits of physical fitness and a flourishing community showing the limitless opportunities available to all ages.

Jenkins also mentions how there are similar movements in CrossFit that are reminiscent of children's play. Exercises like jumping, bounding, and hanging are very similar to CrossFit, and Jenkins explains that children are able to gain a renewed sense of confidence in controlling their bodies and learning more complex movements over time.

CrossFit can help to motivate both adults and children to become passionate about fitness and embrace the mental and social benefits that comes with the CrossFit community. In going to a CrossFit gym and getting involved with coaches and classes, children can have fitness incorporated into their regular schedule and work towards a newfound sense of strength!
