Hi Everyone,
I just love this site. I think this is so Awesome for women to have place to talk to one another!
Anyway I need some serious advise! Do any of you moms wish you had a place to take your child to have a fun work out? My husband and I are going to open a FUN WORKOUT center for Kids ONLY! Ages 5- 15. Friday and Saturday evenings for the Older kids 14-17. Sunday will be open for Birthday parties.
When my daughter hit 4th Grade she started to struggle with weight. We joined a few Gyms and by 8th Grade went to Weight Watchers. Which taught us how to eat right. But for me it was really hard to find a place for kids(my daughter) to go to and be comfortable as mom to let them workout at a Gym with a friend. Because I didn't know what kind of people were lerking around* This kids fitness center will be based on a FUN workout with kids their age. Please tell me your thoughts on a Fitness/Nutrition center for kids only>>>> Based on Fun?
The morning hours based on fun workouts with mommy/daddy and your child.
Afternoons would be kids only.
This sounds great! I would definitely be there with my daughter! She is 7 and in 2nd grade and is struggling with her weight! She loves to eat and sweets are her weakness! I try to keep healthy foods for her in the house but she also has a great appetite and can eat a whole plate for meals. Exercise is the answer and I am excited to see how she does. Keep me posted on the opening date and location!
G., that sounds wonderful! For the last year I've thought about something like that myself. Yet I'm so busy with my other things that just providing you feedback is good for me! If you offered family martial arts or martial arts for kids then we'd be customers! If you offered family yoga then we'd be customers too! Good hours for us are of course weekends and after 6 pm. It would be nice if you also sold HEALTHY snacks and drinks and even healthy meals for afterwards. I'm married and blessed with a wonderful man. Our children consists of an 8-year old daughter and an 11 year-old son.
I have had the same problem trying to find programs that are geared for children and that allow them to exercise. We go for walks around the neighborhood with our pooch and go to the park. Yet there isn't any place for children and adolescents to be healthy. Fantastic idea! Much success.
I think you have a good idea. Some market research will tell you if your area will support this. However, in order to succeed, you will need to improve your communication skills. This will be essential in order for parents to trust that you truly have the expertise to create a safe and healthy environment for their kids.
Hi G.,
My name is D. and that is the same reason that I opened Jumping Party in Mesa.
My daughter is 9 and has struggled the last couple of years with her weight. We looked at several gyms, but they don't allow children under 12 to workout. We put here in cheerleading and dance classes but they weren't enough.
We opened Jumping Party on halloween and my daughter has started to loose weight because she plays on the bounce units all of the time.
I have obstacle courses, slides, bounce houses and a 48' long choo choo train for the kids to play with. We are indoors so no one has to worry about the weather.
I offer open jump play time as well as birthday parties.
With the way that our society is nowadays we have to do something to get our kids to be active. The obesity rate is so high because all they want to do is play video games all day!
I hope you have great success with your kids fun fitness center. I know that we love our Jumping Party!!
I'd like to know more about this place...Where will it be? What is it's name and rates?
I love it! I would take my child there no doubt.
Sounds like a GREAT idea!!! When will you be opening???
