Youth Personal Training - ages 11-17

The latest research has found that strength training can be safely incorporated into a child’s fitness or sport related exercise routine. However, a program must be compiled by a knowledgeable professional taking into consideration the proper precautions. According to Avery Faigenbaum, PH. D., from the University of Massachusetts, whenever the children are emotionally mature enough to follow instructions and accept them is when they are ready to begin strength training. Children are given realistic expectations as well as the opportunity to develop positive life-style habits through strength training. JCC Personal Trainers give proper instruction and programming allowing gradual increases in weight and intensity in the Junior Fitness Training Course.

The JCC Youth Fitness - Personal Training program offers individual fitness programs to trim, shape and tone young adults (ages 11-17) as part of a comprehensive weight management program. The program includes strength, flexibility and cardiovascular conditioning, diet, and injury prevention. Your child will learn the basics of a healthy fitness life-style that he/she can adopt.

The main goals of this program are to assist your child:
1......to lose body fat and manage their weight
2.....develop lifelong healthy habits
3.....decrease the likelihood of play related injuries
4.....have fun getting in shape

This differs from Junior Fitness Center Training Course in that it is a more comprehensive individualized program as opposed to a basic knowledge of the Fitness Center. Offered 7 days week.

We offer this program either 1:1 with a personal trainer, or 2:1 with a personal trainer.
