Our Philosophy

We help kids and teens build strength, confidence, and a love of movement strength, confidence, and love of movement—skills for the gym, field, and life.

We believe every young person should have the chance to discover what their body is capable of. Our coaches meet kids where they are, celebrate progress, and adapt training for both competitive athletes and youth who simply want to become stronger, healthier, and more confident—all in a fun, supportive environment.

Client Testimonials

  • "Great workout option for ages around 8-10+

    Coach Mike is great with kids, engaging and motivating. I love how the workouts are real, involve techniques and equipment adults would use but adapted to kids. It's a great intro to the world of crossfit for children and an awesome way for them to learn good form, become more endurant and hopefully adopt some lifelong habits.”

    - Maria (Mom)

  • “Hannah is one of the most kind and thoughtful teachers we have come across.

    My 3 kids (they were 7, 10 and 12) are all neurospicy and each comes with their own challenges. They built so much confidence, skills and strength through her teaching style. Hannah took her son to a competition and encouraged my youngest and I to go also. It was the most challenging and rewarding experience. 10/10 would recommend.”

    - Amelia (Mom)

  • "Our kids love this class,

    it's a lot of fun and a great workout!”

    - Melanie (Mom)

  • "Coach Hannah made exercise fun.

    I looked forward to class. She helped me stay in shape and gain strength during the off season.”

    - Walker (age 14)

  • "My son was getting discouraged with his swimming performance.

    He took a summer to focus on developing some strength. All that hard work really paid off. My son was promoted, he’ll be the youngest swimmer on the Silver swim team!

    Even though it wasn't always easy, Coach Hannah really helped him become more "coachable." His mind/body connection is better than ever. This skill has not only translated to sports but to his schoolwork as well. I'd recommend this youth program to anyone.”

    – James (Dad)

  • "We watched Walker grow as an athlete.

    Not only did he gain strength but also confidence. He’s a wrestler, we saw him go from winning a few matches his first year to taking 2nd place in district his second year.”

    - Jaime (Mom)

  • "Mike is great with kids

    and makes sure each session motivates my son while while giving him a good workout.”
