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.

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 ?

No. If you are a CrossFit Affiliate using CrossFit methodology with children or Teens, you must complete both a CrossFit Level 1 Course and a CrossFit Kids Course.
The use of the name CrossFit in combination with any synonym for kids, children or teens is limited to CFK Official programs ( contact debbie @crossfitkids.com for details) and follows the format of the licensed name..

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.

How do I use the Location 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.

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.
