Core City

Helen Taylor started Core City CrossFit Kids, as a non-profit after school program, in June of 2021. The sport is known to be expensive and not as accessible to lower income communities. Through resilience, partnerships and a little bit of love and kindness, the non-profit program has brought not only the sport of CrossFit to the kids, but has rallied others around them nationwide. Bringing to light the importance of kids mental and physical health, after school programs for communities, and empowering the next generation of kids and athletes to be who they want to be.
