Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.

I am unsure how a particular exercise is performed, where can I find more information?

Click on Glossary in the navigation for descriptions and videos.

Note: The exercise demos on the CrossFit.com site are optimal, however not always family or work safe, so please
use your discretion while viewing with children.

Hi Al,
We offer monthly certification seminars in Ramona, California-just outside of San Diego. With very few exceptions we do not travel for our certifications. The logistics of a traveling cert would be difficult. We offer three live kids classes and use kids and…

There are actually a few other CFK Affiliate gyms with Pediatricians as owners. Most CFK Affiliates run adult programs, but not all. Some are Athletic Program Focused with Teen and Kids Programs only. Fees vary widely with demographics.
Many CFK affiliates work…

Can I use other names for my kids program, like…

Can I use other names for my kids program, like CrossFit Youth, CrossFit Teen, CrossFit Kidz, CrossFit Boot Camp for Kids, or other similar names without Affiliating?

No. If you are a CrossFit Affiliate using CrossFit methodology with children, you must go through certification and affiliation.
The use of the name CrossFit in combination with any synonym for kids, children or teens is limited to CFK Affiliates.

If I am registered for a CrossFit Kids Certification, may I become an Affiliate right away?

We currently allow a three month window for Affiliates in the Continental US and Canada, and six months for International Affiliation.
In other words you must register at the time of CFK Affiliate application and attend a CrossFit Kids Certification within three to six months of your application.

What is the background check for?

Children are given into our care when they are active in a CrossFit Kids program.
It is incumbent upon us to protect them to the best of our ability.
While CrossFit Kids assumes no liability, we feel strongly that a simple criminal background check for CrossFit Kids Trainers is more than justified.

I already have a background check with another organization/agency, can I just show you that?

We cannot accept third party background checks or make special exceptions.
All CFK Trainers must be background checked annually.

Can I bring my child to a CrossFit Kids Certification ?

Unfortunately, no.
The CrossFit Kids Certification consists of two eight hour days full of activities and information geared to adult attendees.
We do not have and cannot provide day care for children.

How do I use the Affiliate Search ?

Go to the bottom right and slowly drag the blue rectangle to the continent where you would like to search. Once there, use the
plus and minus scale and arrows,( top left corner) to incrementally move towards enlarging the correct region. Try not to move too quickly it confuses the program.

May I use the background check you run for other purposes ?

No, for your protection we shred them and remove the records as soon as they are completed. Additionally a background check is of no value unless current. Most organizations will not accept a pre-run background check.

How may I use or reproduce information from CrossFit Kids resources ?

As a part of the larger CrossFit Community, CrossFit Kids wants to share information with as many people as possible. To facilitate this, CrossFit Kids allows the reproduction and/or quotation of articles, quotes taken from the website, and information sharing from posted videos. CrossFit Kids reserves the right to revoke this privilege in the event that usage of such information is deemed unacceptable or inappropriate. Quotations and reproductions should be cited and referenced as being generated by CrossFit Kids, including the specific author's name, along with the source location (i.e., magazine issue#, website address, etc.) in accordance with current legal guidelines for quoting sources. Certain terminology and the CrossFit Kids Logo, are restricted for use by CrossFit Kids Affiliates only, as referenced above.

My Child is a teenager, is CrossFit Kids for her/him?

CrossFit Kids is a program for anyone under 18, we focus on teens just as much as we do on kids.
However, the main page WOD on CrossFit can also be scaled, see
BrandX scaled Workouts from the Main Page of CrossFit.com under " start here."
Many older teenagers who have been exposed to CrossFit can now do the mainpage WOD's as RX'd.
Where any person begins, depends on the condition they are in as well as exposure to functional movement.
Everyone should start at the bottom of the scaling and progress as form and capacity dictate.
