CrossFit Kids in Figueira da Foz is one of the most complete physical activities you can give your child. At Revolution Fitness, the programme is available for children and teenagers aged 5 to 16, split into three age groups, with certified coaches and classes that are never the same.
More than just training, CrossFit Kids develops physical, social and emotional skills, based on science and in a safe, fun and supervised environment.
What is CrossFit Kids?
CrossFit Kids is an official adaptation of the CrossFit method created specifically for children and teenagers. The aim isn't to copy adult training in a smaller version, it's to teach fundamental movement patterns in a way that suits each stage of development.
Running, jumping, pushing, pulling, lifting and coordinating the body. These are the movements at the core of the programme, done through games, challenges and circuits that turn every class into something kids look forward to.
At Revolution Fitness, CrossFit Kids in Figueira da Foz is the only programme in the city led by a Head Coach with CrossFit Level 3 certification.

What are the benefits of CrossFit Kids for children?
➔ Development of strength and fitness
CrossFit Kids helps children develop strength, endurance and body control progressively. The exercises are adapted so that each child progresses at their own pace: the goal isn't to lift maximum loads, but to learn to move their body well.
➔ Better motor coordination
During childhood, motor development plays an essential role. Movements like jumping, running, throwing or doing balance exercises improve coordination, agility and body awareness, skills that benefit other sports and everyday tasks.
➔ More confidence and self-esteem
Overcoming a new challenge, doing a movement that once seemed impossible, or noticing their own progress over the weeks: these experiences build real confidence. In CrossFit Kids, children learn that progress comes with practice and consistency.
➔ Promoting healthy habits from an early age
Building a positive relationship with exercise in childhood is one of the best investments in a child's future health. CrossFit Kids links movement with fun, learning and wellbeing, and that lasts a lifetime.
➔ Socialising and team spirit
Training in a group, overcoming challenges together and celebrating each other's progress builds team spirit, respect and lasting friendships. Many children who join Revolution Fitness end up finding their best friends here.
Benefits of CrossFit Kids for teenagers
Adolescence is a time of big physical and emotional change. The adapted training in the Teens programme helps teenagers develop:
- greater body awareness and control
- strength and endurance progressively
- discipline, focus and the ability to set goals
- confidence in their physical and mental abilities
- sense of community and positive relationships with peers
Is CrossFit Kids safe for children?
Yes, when done with proper supervision and specialised professionals. At Revolution Fitness, all coaches have specific training in working with young people and know the developmental stages of each age group.
Technique always comes before intensity, and safety before results. Each child progresses at their own pace, with no comparisons and no pressure.
What is a CrossFit Kids class like at Revolution Fitness?
Each session lasts 45 minutes and has three distinct parts:
➔ Warm-up through games: dynamic activation in the form of play or a group challenge. The children get straight into training mode without static stretching.
➔ Technical component: focus on one movement pattern: running with good posture, jumping correctly, doing a push-up with good technique or learning to lift an object without bending your back. Simple, progressive and adapted to age.
➔ Short, fun WOD: putting what they've learned into practice in an adapted circuit. Challenging enough to be motivating, calibrated so every child finishes with energy and wanting to come back.
