Kids Personal Training

       Does Your Child Need a Personal Trainer?

       When it comes to taking care of your child's health, it’s up to you to help them.  Personal training
is just one more option you have for managing weight problems and teaching your child how to live a
healthy life.  Many parents are hiring personal trainers to work with their kids to help them with a major
problem we're seeing lately - childhood obesity. Some statistics show that about 30% of children ages
6 to 13 are overweight, while about 15% are obese.  It's no surprise that many parents are turning to
personal trainers for help.  If you're looking for ways to increase your child's activity level, personal
training could be the answer.

       Another reason parents are turning to personal trainers is to help their kids excel at sports.  
Whatever the reason, the decision to hire a personal trainer should be up to you and your child.  Jim
can help your child find activities they can enjoy while teaching them the proper way to exercise for
their age and goals.  A trainer can also teach children how to strength train and prevent injuries.  A
trainer can help you achieve better health and higher self-esteem.   A trainer can help determine  what
your child is capable of and teach your child how to exercise safely, effectively, and most importantly,
how to have fun so these habits transfer into adulthood.

       Other reasons you may want your child to work with Jim are:

  • Sports Specific Training - Athletes often need specialized training as do kids who want to
    pursue sports.  They may want or need help from a professional to strengthen their bodies,
    increase their power and endurance and protect them from injuries.

  • Guidance for Exercise - You may feel at a loss if your child wants to exercise or lift weights
    and you're not sure you have the expertise to show them what to do.  If that's the case, the right
    personal trainer can help you set up a good program that fits your child's age, goals and fitness
    level.

  • Dislike of Organized Sports or Group Fitness - Some kids may not like typical gym classes
    or sports, but still want to get in shape.  Working one-on-one with a trainer can be a safe
    environment for them to get into shape without feeling self-conscious.
