 Kids' fitness
An increasing number of children are overweight or obese and without intervention 80% of them will remain overweight as adults. This can put them at risk of many various medical problems including diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and sleep apnoea. Obesity can also adversely affect their self-esteem.
An important way to help your child with weight loss, maintaining a normal weight and develop healthy eating habits, is to encourage them to participate in regular physical activity.
A brief overview of our kids' fitness programme
Warm up - 5 mins
To prevent injury, it is important for your child to warm up before exercising. This should include about five minutes of light activity, such as walking, callisthenics (jumping jacks, bending, knee lifts), and stretching.
Main exercise session 40 mins
The key to keep children interested is to continuously change each session so they are never repeating them which keeps them focused on what they are achieving. This can include fast walking, jogging, biking, roller blading, running, swimming, jumping rope or group activities, such as playing soccer, hockey, volleyball, baseball, basketball, football or even circuit classes.
Cool down - 5 mins
To prevent injury, it is also important for your child to cool down after exercising. Like the warm up, this should include about five minutes of light activity, such as walking, callisthenics (jumping jacks, bending, knee lifts), and stretching.
You should also encourage physical activity as part of your child's regular daily routine. This can include:
- Walking or cycling instead of driving for short distances.
- Taking a walk with a friend or walk the family dog each afternoon.
- Family exercise: go for routine family walks or bike rides in the neighbourhood or local park.
Small changes make the bigger picture much easier to achieve.
In August 2007 Platinum Personal Training set up the first kids' fitness programme in London. We have specialist trainers who will get your child or children healthy and fit.
With every fitness package each trainer will talk to you and your child about a healthy balanced diet and also suggest the correct diet plan for your child.
We have special packages for single sessions or group of sessions with one or more child taking part in the sessions.
- Single session 50 minutes £40
- 10 sessions 50 minutes £370
 Kids' Fitness Boot Camps
For the school holidays we also have Kids' Fitness Boot Camps available for groups of 10 children per class.
Each boot camp for 1 week is priced at £220 per child and includes a healthy packed lunch in the park and 3 hour boot camp per day.
Please contact us for dates of our next holiday boot camp.
