Kids Fitness for Stronger, Healthier Children
Fun, age-appropriate strength and fitness sessions helping children move confidently, safely and joyfully.
Kids Fitness
There’s a large variety of types of sessions that we do with kids. These are:
Strength-based sessions are more traditional gym based sessions with free weights, bodyweight exercises etc. (Please note that weight-training for kids doesn’t stunt growth … this was only ever a myth).
Cardio-based sessions could be an indoor cycling class class (min height 135cm), or running/sprinting sessions outdoors. Also, boxing trains both strength and cardio together.
Sports-specific sessions are tailored to the discipline. For example, you might want your child to be a better athlete, faster, stronger for a certain sport, more agile/flexible, or learn/practice a sports-specific skill.
There’s no age restrictions. This might seem unusual but I’m presently working with a five year old who runs rings round kids more than double his age … simply because he wants to be there. That’s the most important thing, they have to want to do it.
Fitness has to be fun, this is true for adults as much as it is for kids. We will make it as interesting and enjoyable as we can but you’ll/they’ll only know by trying, so, of course drop us a line and see if it works for you all.
My son loves the gym and trains regularly, but we also tried every activity under the sun before settling upon judo. The benefits of being active in youth are well proven (data-wise) to elicit good habits later in life, this isn’t contested, so hopefully try us out and if it isn’t for your child, then there’ll be something else that is.
Trainers are DBS checked.
Sessions are max 4 kids. Sessions are 30 minutes, as are all sessions. You are more than welcome to sit in on the session, or there’s a seated area downstairs with vending machine for a coffee.
Naturally you will have questions, just drop us a line.

Why Use a Sports Scientist?
Sports Scientists are trained to a significantly greater degree than Personal Trainers in human physiology. There are some good Physiotherapists, Osteopaths and Chiropractors, but far too often, too many are prescribing unproven, ineffective treatments. It baffles.
Modern science and a deep understanding of the body is of paramount importance so that you receive the safest, best advice and effective personalised programming.
