When Jeff and Mikki Lee Martin discovered CrossFit in the summer of 2003, they couldn't get any adults interested. Kids, however, were another story.
"Our kids program really started almost a year ahead of the adult program," Jeff says.
Known as the creators of CrossFit Kids, the couple says trainers must decide that they want to work with children, and then their box has to be "a certain way."
"We're devoid of skulls and blood around here," Jeff says of CrossFit Brand X. "Our box is geared toward families."
In terms of preparation, Mikki notes, there is a great difference between training adults and training kids.
"The energy that's required to keep kids engaged is tenfold what it is for an adult class," she says.
Nonetheless, the athletes are still CrossFitters.
"The kids will make their own community in the same way that adults do," she says. "They right away relate to other people enjoying the same thing that they're enjoying exactly like the adults."
what a great program for our kids today! it will definitely give them a solid foundation on which to build upon later in life! wonderful work!
Awesome. Amazing. Looking for a crossfit program for my kids. Very encouraging. Thank you.
love this!
How cool are these kids!!
Smart. Adult crossfit is high octane and edgy: tone down the tunes and take the edge off but still encourage kids to go all-out.
Awesome

Snatch 🏋🏻♂️💪🏻CF
those kids are going to beast when they get older
Because "too young" is not an excuse for avoiding sport injuries!
Its not a box... its a GYM!!!
How is anyone supposed to know that a place if full of hard training bad asses when it doesn't look like a big Ed Hardy shirt or have "TAPOUT" written anywhere?!?! No crosses, skulls, wings, blood, dragons, or Kanji symbols?
I think cross fit is not safe because you can get hurt
Amanda Strand You can get hurt in any sport
Lmao, so true.
And football is? It’s he same with any sport. I just turned 13 been doing it since I was 9. With the right trainers, it’s just like anything else.
