Gain Fitness, Guardian Road, NR5 8PE Norwich
Sessions available throughout the summer (apart from 23rd July, 6th August and 13th August).
CrossFit GAIN Kids is a fitness class for children aged between 2 & 16 and combines cardio, gymnastics and body weight movements with some weight lifting elements for older children. The classes are designed to be fun for kids of all ages and enable our children to grow up healthy and strong.
CrossFit Kids is not simply a scaled down version of CrossFit, it is CrossFit geared and designed for children. CrossFit GAIN Kids deliver a fitness that is designed to be broad, general, inclusive and most importantly fun! Healthy living requires that our children push, pull, run, throw, climb, lift and jump effectively and safely regardless of whether or not they play sport, We take those key lifestyle movements and incorporate them into the classes in a fun way so that children want to do it….they want to keep fit and active.
