We’re sure we don't have to tell you that exercising is healthy – most people know that getting enough exercise is important. However, what’s often lacking is the energy or motivation to start and stick with it. Some good news for young people and young adults is that studies show that participating in physical activities at a younger age will contribute to a positive attitude towards sport and exercise in later life. In turn, this will directly translate into a fitter and more active life and therefore a better quality of life.

As well as physical and motor health benefits, sports can also result in cognitive advantages. In fact, when it comes to secondary school students, it has been found that physical activity helps them to process information better, be more attentive, to concentrate better and also to sleep better. It also likely that sporty students achieve higher grades in school since sport is associated with higher levels of self-confidence and because students are often more motivated, competitive, disciplined and responsible.
So are we saying that you have to be extremely disciplined and do everything in your power to become a true competitor? Definitely not! "Don't take life too seriously" is also one of CrossFit Merchtem's mottos. Training together, having fun and motivating each other all help young people to better develop mental and social skills and enjoy a higher 'level of overall happiness'. And the same goes for adults – we believe in the power of our community!
