FITHAUS YOUTH STRONG PROGRAM
(Grades 6 - 8th)
Why Choose the FitHAUS Youth Strong Program?
Our goal is to train athletes to perform safely and effectively in the gym. Each of our youth coaches are certified in CrossFit or Strength and Conditioning to ensure our athletes are taught proper form. Once movement patterns are mastered, we build strength and power! We want our athletes to feel confident walking into a weight room and have the knowledge to perform both strength and bodyweight movements well.
Our classes are designed to improve overall fitness for any athlete. Each class is broken down into a strength portion and a conditioning piece.
STRENGTH: Athletes will be performing and perfecting the deadlift, bench press, shoulder press and other shoulder to overhead varieties, front squat and back squat. We will also occasionally work on olympic lifting skills such as the power clean and snatch; however these movements are typically unloaded or done at very light weight and used to elicit power and explosiveness.
CONDITIONING: Athletes will perform a variety of movements at different intensities which includes training for explosiveness, speed, agility, stamina and endurance.
We know that building an overall base of fitness helps prevents injury and translates to many specific sports skills. We’ve seen many of our FitHAUS athletes excel in a variety of sports using the constantly varied movement training methodology.
Finally, one of our core values is making sure our youngest athletes enjoy fitness. Establishing a positive relationship with movement and building healthy habits is something we create from the beginning. Working out with friends (current or new ones!), learning new skills, and building confidence is key to our program!
Our winter Youth Strong class is currently capped at 10 athletes/class to ensure our coaches are able to actively coach each athlete.

While not required, we do offer a Foundations program for our Youth Athletes. This is a great way for your teen to feel more comfortable with the movements, equipment, etc that they will see in our group classes. We currently offer this Foundations as 1-on-1 sessions and these are scheduled based on your schedule and our coach’s availability. To schedule a 1-on-1 Foundations, please reach out to us at gm@thefithaus.com to get started.

Youth Strong Classes: You’ll see strength movements done with body weight, dumbells, kettlebells, barbells, med balls, etc. We combine these with gymnastic movements (pull-ups, box jumps, etc) and conditioning work (running, rowing, biking, etc) to improve overall fitness and set a great base for any/all sports!

#1: Our Coaches! We have 2 CrossFit certified coaches in every class to ensure proper form takes precedence over anything. Our goal is to train athletes to perform all the movements safely and effectively. From there we build strength and power! We want our athletes to feel confident walking into a weight room and have the knowledge to perform movements correctly and effectively!
#2: Our programming! Our classes are designed to improve overall fitness for athletes of all kinds. We focus on building strength and explosiveness, speed and agility, and stamina and endurance. We do this by mixing together different types of movements, done at differing lengths and intensities! Building an overall base of fitness that prevents injury and transfers to any sport specific skills!
#3: Fun! One of our core values is making sure our youngest athletes enjoy fitness. Establishing a positive relationship with movement and building healthy habits is something we create from the beginning.

Yes. Starting in November 2023, we will require all kids to reserve a spot in each class they wish to attend ahead of time. You can do this up to 48 hours in advance of the class start time. You can do this using the Wodify Client app. If you need any help with this, please reach out: gm@thefithaus.com and we can walk you through it!
