CrossFit for Teens

Maximize Athletic Potential

Our KCF Teens program is the perfect strength & conditioning supplement for middle and high school athletes looking to get a leg up on their competition. It's also an opportunity for those not involved in organized sports to get a world class strength & conditioning workout that will benefit nearly every facet of their lives.

Teens programming is similar to adult CrossFit programming, however the coach to athlete ratio is limited so that the coach can provide additional focus on proper technique.

During these 60 minute sessions, our coaches lead the athletes through a three part session that includes a warm-up, a strength or skill session, and the workout of the day. The coach will monitor each athlete's form and make corrections, adjustments, and modifications, as needed.

Our unique programming, created by our full time head coach with over 10 years of experience, produces well rounded fitness that will increase, strength, speed, cardiovascular health, and mobility. It is structured around a weekly and monthly conditioning plan so that you can continue to train with intensity and without injury.

Programming

Community Planning

Our head coach takes into account both the needs of the gym community and what is required to raise each athlete's individual fitness level. Weights, sets, reps, time domains, and movement patterns are programmed to achieve a desired stimulus for each workout. Coaches work with each athlete individually to find the scaling options that are best for them. We are passionate about creating the most effective training system possible.

Strength

At the heart of CrossFit is the barbell. Programming regularly involves dedicated lifting days to build a base of general strength. Regular programming also includes kettlebells, dumbbells, strongman implements, sleds, and tires. We squat heavy and pull hard with movements common to Powerlifting, Olympic Weightlifting and Strongman. We have equipment and weights for athletes at all levels.

Cardio Capacity

Our programming targets all energy systems of the body, from the phosphagen system used in short sprints to the oxidative pathway that fuels longer endurance efforts. You'll find several Ironman and Ultramarathon finishers on the KCF team, many of whom crossed their finish lines using mainly CrossFit programming during their training blocks. We can produce results with a significantly lower time commitment than conventional endurance programming, without sacrificing strength training.

Strength Endurance

Absolute strength is important, but what percentage of your strength can you use over and over for multiple minutes to hours at a time? CrossFit will develop your ability to move weight quickly and safely for many repetitions. This translates to many real world situations including climbing stairs, moving material on a job site, shoveling snow, backpacking, contact sports, and many other activities.

Athleticism

Life and sports require the ability to run, jump, crawl, roll, and change directions without injury. The more our jobs require sitting for long periods of time, the more critical it becomes to actively pressure our athletic base to avoid losing it all together. By engaging in the gymnastics, plyometrics, and odd-object movements prescribed in our workouts, you will notice dramatic improvements in your ability to move.

Mobility

Stretching is what most people think of when they hear about mobility, but that's only the surface. Our selection of varied and dynamic movement patterns will increase your range of motion over time. Many motions such as putting your arms straight over your head, or being able to squat all the way to the floor without coming onto your toes are easily improved within our program.

Modifications

Not every body is suited for every movement. Our experienced coaches are experts at not only spotting potential issues, but also providing safe alternatives to the primary movements prescribed for the day. If you are working around an injury we can help you find effective alternatives.
