Summer 2013 Session Info
Putting the FUN back in Fitness
CrossFit Kids is a unique fitness program designed for kids of all ages and fitness levels. Providing a healthy lifestyle for our children now is essential for their well-being later. Whether your child plays athletics or not, it is imperative they learn the proper way to push, pull, run, throw, climb, lift, and jump both effectively and safely.
GoGirlGo Summer Program Total Success

Thanks to Karen and the CFNA CrossFit Kids Volunteer team, our summer program with Agape / GoGirlGo was complete success. We share this victory with all of our members that so graciously contributed to the cause ... we could not have done it without you!
Over the course of the 8-week program, these girls made tremendous gains! All of the age groups experienced significant improvements in physical abilities, motivation to exercise, knowledge and attitudes about nutrition and physical fitness, and their body composition.
In a post survey, 99% of the girls expressed a strong interest in continuing the CrossFit Kids program after the summer. They noticed increased energy, better sleep, and began to make better food and beverage choices. The girls told us they now enjoy exercising and the challenge of learning new skills. They feel stronger and are proud of the changes they have seen in their body.
Agape is interested in providing CrossFit Kids for ALL of the girls in their after-school program throughout the school year. We are currently woking with them to find the financial support required to make this a reality. Stay tuned for more details. This is just the begining of great things to come.
Checkout this great video of the GoGirlGo program. Karen's piece on CFNA's contribution is about halfway through.
