YOUTH FITNESS-PERSONAL TRAINING ages 10 - 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, whever 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 the 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 10-17) 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 into shape

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

A.I.S. (Active Isolated Stretching for the STUDENT ATHLETE
Flexibility is a basic fitness component of everyday life. For the student athlete, it is vital to maintain and increase flexibility of the muscles and the elasticity of muscle joints and fascia so that injuries can be prevented and maximal performance can be reached. Soreness, swelling and pain relate to loss of tissue movement impacting your ability to produce speed, strength, stamina and power. AIS technique, developed by Aaron L. Mattes involves the method of holding each stretch for only 2 seconds to avoid the stretch reflex and works with the body's natural physiological makeup to improve circulation and increase elasticity. You will learn the AIS methos in this 4 week session which will meet 1 day each week for 1 hour.
