Youth Programs

Building Strong Bodies, Sharp Minds: CrossFit Kids

Our Philosophy

At 557, We believe that youth fitness programs should be designed to be enjoyable and engaging and effective. Introducing children to regular physical activity through a fitness program instills healthy habits that can last a lifetime. Teaching the importance of exercise at a young age sets the foundation for a healthy lifestyle in adulthood. Some benefits of starting a Youth CrossFit program are:

Confidence: When they start to see improvements in their abilities and hearing the coaches encouraging them and congratulating them on every little improvement, they start to walk with their heads high and big smiles.
Camaraderie: Participating in a youth fitness program provides opportunities for children to interact with peers who share similar interests. This can foster friendships, teamwork, and social skills development.
Discipline: Our kids classes are structured into a format that kids become accustomed to and they learn the flow quickly and become self-disciplined.
Emotional benefits: We teach sportsmanship, leadership, teamwork, listening skills, and manners through the structure of the class.
Skeletal & Vestibular Systems: We do impact loading activities (jumping, running, burpees), which helps keep their bones healthy by preventing bone density loss, which as an adult can turn into a diagnosis of osteoporosis.
Fitness as a lifestyle: If kids find fitness fun, they will grow up associating working out with something enjoyable and they will make fitness a priority in their life.

Team Training

At 557 we offer team training for sports teams. Team training allows us to focus on that particular sport and format our session or sessions around the demands of the sport. This gives teams a great opportunity for bonding outside of their sports practices and games.

Our coaches have done team training for football, soccer, hockey, and baseball, but we are not limited to these sports.
