The buttercup scaling is designed for when the puppy scaling is a little too much for the beginner CrossFitter. It is not intended to suggest the frequency of how often to workout for those who are buttercups. If there is a buttercup scaling for the…

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…

If I have a regular CrossFit affiliation and I pay that fee yearly, do I have to pay a separate (yearly) affiliation fee to teach/have CrossFit Kids?

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.

If I call it something else, but teach CrossFit methodology to kids or teens ?
If I have trouble getting the program insured ?
