Young Strong & Fit
Young Strong & Fit is not simply a scaled down version of our adult program, it was designed specifically to suit the unique needs of a younger population. Our goal is to foster neurological, cognitive, and motor development by combining exercise, games, and skill building activities to create a fun filled class that will teach your kids the fundamentals of becoming and staying healthy.
Whether your child is a 6 year old little leaguer or 14 year old spelling bee champion, they will benefit greatly from this program. Healthy living requires that our kids push, pull, run, throw, climb, lift, and jump correctly, safely, and effectively regardless of whether or not they play sports. Learning how the body works and developing proper movement patterns at an early age will undoubtedly help your kids avoid preventable injuries and health problems in the future.
In regard to nutrition, our goal with kids is not to have them become little Paleo dieters but to simply help them to understand the function of food groups and how to make good choices about what they put in their bodies. We will teach them very basic yet essential concepts regarding nutrient intake that are easy to comprehend and apply (i.e., sugar, pasta, white bread, and white rice won‘t help you grow up to be strong and healthy, but protein and foods that are naturally red, green, and yellow will.)
With childhood obesity and its associated physical and psychological health issues running rampant due to misinformation and inactivity, our primary mission is to promote the idea that fun involves so much more than just moving two thumbs in front of a television screen and eating at McDonalds! Simply put, Young Strong & Fit is for those parents who want their kids to grow up strong and healthy while having a life-long love of keeping fit and staying active.
