Kid’s Academy Classes
Why you should start.
You’re never too young to start caring about your health and wellbeing. That’s why Impact Zone offers a kids fitness program to teach our most adolescent clients the importance of internal and external health. With kids being involved in a club, travel, or recreational sports team; there is a vacancy for improvement in their performance. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and a fully equipped gym to succeed in any sport.
Whether you want to begin a workout routine, lose weight, prepare for an upcoming sports season, or simply stay in shape; Impact Zone makes it easy for you to help reach your goals with assistance from our trainers and staff.
Workout programs for kids.
As the children age and progress, organized sports become a little more involved. The best age for a child to start exercising with more focus on particular skills and techniques is around the age of seven, especially if he/she is playing organized sports like soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, track, or swimming. This is a great age for your child to be encouraged to focus on particular exercises with a personal trainer and/or in our Kids Fitness program.
Some of the best strength-training workout programs for kids around the age of seven are as follows:
- Leg raises
- Squats
- Bear crawls
- Lunges
- Burpees
- Mountain climbers
- Star jumps
- Sit-ups
When to begin lifting weights.
Let’s face it; some kids develop earlier than others when it comes to muscles. So, what is an appropriate age for your child to begin lifting weights? For the most part, your child should wait until they hit puberty before they begin lifting weights. This is typically around the age of 14 or 15. You don’t always have to wait until puberty, as some kids between the ages of 8-13 can be trained under the appropriate supervision from a professional in light free weights, resistance bands, and bodyweight exercises. IZ’s Kids Fitness program creates the ideal and controlled environment to properly structure your kid’s growth to be able to eventually be able to surpass improper technique that leads to injury.
Full-Body Conditioning for kids.
If your child is interested in full-body conditioning, there are a handful of exercises we teach at Impact Zone that will help them strengthen their entire body in preparation for a sport or simply stay in shape. These exercises include the following:

Why kids fitness is important.
There is still an obesity epidemic that plagues our country. The rates of obesity in adults throughout the country continue to climb each year. More and more children are dealing with obesity these days for various reasons, including genetics, lack of exercise, and poor diet choices among others.
Kids’ fitness is incredibly important these days as the right trainer and workout routine can help children avoid obesity or other health issues as they mature. The sooner your child gets into a workout habit, the sooner he or she will learn to hold themselves accountable for their actions and decisions, which can be an essential tool later on in life.
Children who spend too much time indoors, sitting on the couch, watching television, or playing video games, tend to have a higher risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other health problems. A lack of exercise can also affect your child’s posture, eye function, neck alignment, muscle development, bone development, and self-esteem.
