Access to sports and physical activity is not equal for all youth. Research shows that children from lower-income families and marginalized communities face significant barriers to staying active. At AMIGOS, we’re working to close this gap by bringing free, school-based fitness and mentorship programs directly to students, helping them build healthy habits, confidence, and resilience.

C4K Comp 2025, fueled by athletes and community supporters and backed by sponsors including our title sponsor JMI Insurance, raised over $18,000 to sustain and expand free after-school CrossFit programs in local public schools. From 2nd graders trying CrossFit for the first time to 5th graders competing in their first weightlifting meet, this support empowers students to build confidence, teamwork, and lifelong healthy habits.

School days are long—for students and teachers. Even a quick movement break or a minute of mindful breathing can reset the entire classroom. In this article, we share simple, effective brain breaks that help everyone recharge, refocus, and return to learning with more energy.

Your kids notice how you move, speak, and care for yourself. Even if you're not hitting the gym, your attitude toward fitness shapes how they see wellness.
