Where Will You Celebrate Your Birthday?
Written by C.J. Martin

For kids, birthdays might just be the most important day of the year. They will spend months coming up with their ideal birthday party – from the outfit they will wear down to the gifts they will receive. And nothing is ever too big for kids. They’re not afraid to ask for a flying unicorn that poops rainbows – and a shocking number of parents will move Heaven and Earth to figure out if it’s possible to get one. So imagine my delight when two kids from different families insisted that they hold their birthday parties at CrossFit Invictus. San Diego has a lot of REALLY cool places to have a birthday, like Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, etc…, but for at least these two, CrossFit Invictus is pure fun. 

So what does that mean? It means that our studly coach Tabitha Stine is implementing our CrossFit Kids program beautifully. It means that kids come in to have a lot of fun playing and never realize that they are “working out.” It means that in years to come they are likely to stay fit and active because they associate fitness and fun. And maybe, just maybe, it will mean that they will be part of the generation that helps to drive the Pec Deck and leg curl machine into extinction.

Do we host birthday parties for kids? Now we do. We’ll make this place the coolest birthday party venue in San Diego for our studly CrossFit Kids – even if it means I have to dress up like Aquaman.
