CrossFit Witham Kids started in January 2019 and it has been going from strength to strength ever since.
Kids classes are aimed at children aged between 4 and 12, and the teens class is for 13 to 18 years old. The goal is to introduce the kids to the foundations of CrossFit whilst also teaching them about the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. Each class incorporates a mix of strength, gymnastics and cardio with the goal of keeping things constantly varied, and hopefully to keep the classes engaging and enjoyable.
Here’s Hannah from Witham Academy:
At the end of last year I was lucky enough to join the gym as a full time member of staff with the goal of growing the classes and developing a full calendar for the kids and teens…Witham Academy was born! We are now able to offer 2 kids classes a week and 2 teens classes along side holiday camps and in-house competitions throughout the year.
I have always been into sport and was lucky enough as a child to participate in many different activities outside of school. I believe sport has shaped who I am as a person and impacted my life in numerous positive ways. I began my CrossFit journey in 2014 and I wish it had been more readily available to me when I was a youngster! I believe that sport should be made accessible to all children not just those whose parents can afford it. Since having my own child, I have become much more aware of the costs of some extra curricular activities and the strain it must cause some families to be able to afford to do them.
After receiving a very generous donation to the Witham Academy it gives Hannah and the rest of the team great pleasure in being able to offer a number of FREE kids and teens session, plus some limited places on their holiday camps.
Over the next year they have:
30 free kids places
25 free teens places
10 free holiday camp places
This is a great opportunity for kids to access a versatile and inclusive sport that otherwise they may not be able to afford to do. For more information on these free places please send a message and the team will talk you through what they can offer.
Crossfit Witham Academy also offer a FREE taster session to anyone who wants to come and give CrossFit a go, you can book this on their website here:
