Why Choose the FitHAUS Youth Strong Program?

At FitHAUS, we’re passionate about helping young athletes train safely, move well, and build the confidence they need to thrive—both in and out of the gym. Our certified Youth Coaches (CrossFit + Strength & Conditioning) teach proper mechanics first, ensuring every athlete masters foundational movement patterns before progressing to strength and power work.

What to Expect in Every Class

Each session is built to elevate overall athleticism through two key components:

STRENGTH

Athletes learn and refine essential lifts:

  • Deadlift

  • Bench Press

  • Shoulder Press + Overhead Variations

  • Goblet, Front & Back Squats

  • We also introduce Olympic lifting skills (like the power clean and snatch) using very light or no weight—focusing strictly on technique, speed, and explosiveness.

CONDITIONING

Athletes train through constantly varied movements that build:

  • Speed

  • Agility

  • Power

  • Endurance

Why It Works

A strong base of fitness is the foundation for injury prevention and long-term athletic success. Our athletes consistently excel across a wide range of sports thanks to our proven, constantly varied training methodology.

We Make Fitness Fun

One of our core values is helping kids love movement. Our environment encourages:

  • Learning new skills

  • Building confidence

  • Developing healthy habits

  • Training alongside friends—old and new

When athletes enjoy training, they keep coming back. And when they keep coming back, they grow.

Small Classes. Big Coaching.

To guarantee quality coaching and individualized attention, our Winter Youth Strong class is capped at just 18 athletes per session.

 FitHAUS Youth Classes FAQs

  • Yes … if you currently have a youth membership (either Monthly Unlimited OR a punchcard), this will carry into each season (school year and summer) until you wish to stop your membership. Punchcards are good for one year from date of purchase.

  • 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!

    Check out our videos below for a peek into our Youth classes.

  • #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. Working out with your friends (current or new ones!), learning new skills, and building confidence in your abilities is key to our programs!

    #4: Flexibility! Kids sports schedules are crazy … we get it! No need to commit to certain days or even weeks! An unlimited membership or punchcard allow you to come when you can: as much or as little as works for your schedule!

  • 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!
