HISTORY:
In 2010 CrossFit Central CoFounders created Youth in Motion in order to give back to the community and impact children’s lives. The initial implementation was completed in the spring of 2011. A free ten week exercise and nutrition education program was provided for fourteen fifth grade students. The 10 weeks consisted of 2 one hour fitness and nutrition session and introduction to homework time. The impact of the 20 sessions was measured with entrance and exit interviews and benchmark workouts.
To date we have raised over $100,000 for this program. Check out blog posts, videos, pictures and how you can get involved →
