Some of it of course, could be relegated to the waste basket of “did we really need a study to prove that?”, but sometimes understanding the [...] No photo in a very long time has meant as much to our gym as this one does. ”Why?” you might ask. It looks like a couple kids sitting in the gym eating. Big deal. Seen that before. Look deeper. This photo was taken at 7am on a weekday. It wasn’t school vacation [...] CrossFit Works would like to welcome the Rams Pop Warner football team!! You can find these extremely focused, hard-working kids in the gym three times a week. This crew ranges in age from 9-12. Kevin and I field many many questions about strength training for kids, so we may as well spread [...] Your one dumb bell becomes a little bit like a pet, don’t you think? The issue of control becomes as important as strength. It takes a lot more finesse and accomplishment to put one dumb bell where it is supposed to go. You can’t get away with as much slop and asymmetry as you [...] Our society benefits if we raise healthier kids. By we, I don’t just mean the parents of kids.

These guys will be doing strength work with us in the afternoons and boxing work with Ruben. Please introduce yourselves and if you ask nicely I’ll bet they’ll teach you some boxing… This [...] Each class that goes through the workout makes it look a little different. Yesterday we did the bear crawl/burpee broad jump hero workout called “Brenton”. CrossFit Works Kids did a kid version of “Brenton” in the afternoon. It is some true coaching inspiration to watch Kevin with the CrossFit Kids crew. These kids are [...] Congratulations to Summer for running all the way up Mt. Lemmon on Sunday!! She finished the Mt. Lemmon marathon in just under 5 1/2 hrs. Awesome. How many gyms have a set of twins who both have sub 6min “Frans”? There were also some great “Fran’s” yesterday. Jenny L., Shane M. and [...] Please welcome our young athletes whom you will be seeing around more and more. These two in the photo, are Alex (right) (son of a famous local crossfitter) and Xavier (left).
