LA|563 Jr. Varsity

JV Youth Programs

Our LA|563 JR. VARSITY classes at Live Active 563 are designed for athletes, ages 11 to 14, who are in the off season and in season, looking to try something new, or simply looking to workout with their friends in a fun and energetic atmosphere.

Each class consists of 2 parts, the first being a strength program and the second, a conditioning program. Our JV athletes find that after a few months of attending class regularly they have increased strength, speed, and coordination.

We pride ourselves on teaching safe movement and require our athletes to show proper technique before adding intensity. ‍ Our LA|563 JR. VARSITY classes meet at various times throughout the year depending on the season, so please please contact Coach Conrad at conrad@LiveActive563.com for our current schedule.

If you have a team or group, large or small, interested in training please reach out for availability and pricing.

A Typical Workout At A CrossFit Gym

Our CrossFit classes are very structured, giving you the ability to maximize your time while working out at Live Active 563. Check-In Your first moments at the gym will be checking into class and waiting for a class to start.

Our CrossFit members will typically come in 5 to 10 minutes early and loosely stretch or socialize while they wait for class to start.

Daily Introductions Oftentimes a coach will begin class by going over any announcements or introductions that might need to happen.

They will then outline the daily workout, explaining what each segment of the workout will entail and why we are doing it. From day to day, each workout might have different reasons behind it, so we want to make sure you understand that so you can get the correct workout.

Warm Up Based on the daily CrossFit workout that's to be done, we will design a custom warm up. This time is to get your blood flowing and prepare your body for the upcoming CrossFit workout. By doing so, we will be reducing injury potential. It will generally target the muscle groups, skills or systems that will be used during the workout.

For example on a day where we might have a lot of jumping rope in the CrossFit workout, we might include some light rope skipping as part of our warmup.

Strength / Skill Workout While every day is different, many days will have a Skill or Strength component to the CrossFit workout. This segment is designed to either increase a skill or your strength. It could include something like 5 sets of 3 reps of back squats, or it could be 15 minutes of handstand practice.

Cardio Workout (Metcon)

After the Strength or Skill piece of the workout, we typically will do a cardio segment of the workout.

Metcon is just a fancy word for Cardio and it means metabolic conditioning.

This is designed to increase your cardiovascular system, but will often also involve bits of plyometrics, strength, dumbbell or barbell work, and other implements.

Cool Down

After the Strength/Skill and Cardio CrossFit Workout segments, we will generally participate in a cool down if time permits.

This allows your body to properly come down from the workout.Similar to the warm up it's designed to reduce injury potential.
