There's plenty of research showing that kids who learn to run, tumble, jump, lift, and carry will do better later in life. They'll have more confidence. They'll be more likely to get and keep a good job; they'll be more likely to finish University; they'll be more likely to leave an abusive relationship. Plus, they'll live longer, more interesting lives, and pass the habits on to their kids.
Correct exercise – the fun, natural kind – starts a cycle that lasts for generations. Creating a habit can be tough, but here's the good news: very few kids who start Catalyst Kids ever stop. The groups are growing because, while we're gaining new kids all the time, the veterans are sticking around. THEY LOVE IT.
This year, we're adding a daytime group in August. Twice per week, Teens (12-16) will do CrossFit with age-appropriate loads, in a fun, skill-centred environment. They'll learn a lot; they'll cheer and scream and sweat. The real benefit may not occur to them right away, but later – maybe, even, decades from now – they'll be thanking you.
Group starts August 3! Register here!
