We’re making the sport of CrossFit accessible to Detroit’s kids.
Core City CrossFit Kids is a mission-driven non profit
We are using the sport of fitness to teach kids the value of hard work, discipline, self control and how to do hard things all in an inviting community atmosphere. We’re on a mission to build mentally and physically stronger kids.
We are 501c3 non-profit organization and our work is made possible through donations. You can help us impact the youth of Detroit.

Our Classes
Our classes are a unique type of strength and conditioning program where we utilize three different fitness modalities: safe and age appropriate weight lifting, gymnastics and cardiovascular endurance. We combine all three into a fun, effective and educational workout. These workouts are designed to help kids get better at their sport. If your kids are currently not playing sports, CrossFit can become their sport.
