Children’s Fitness & Therapeutic Exercise

Program Goals

At Fitness for Health, we are dedicated to helping children improve their motor capabilities, physical fitness and self-esteem by providing an innovative, multi-sensory program that is adapted to each child’s stage of development and skill level. In our high-tech, state-of-the-art children’s fitness facility, we offer an exciting, safe environment where each child is able to maximize his/her success, and develop the motivation and confidence to learn new skills and undertake new challenges.

Building Self-Esteem

Your child’s physical fitness, coordination and sports skills have a tremendous effect on self-confidence and self-esteem. At Fitness for Health, we specialize in fitness for all children. Our program has made a difference in the lives of children with varying skill levels, ranging from those with coordination and motor delays, ADHD/ADD, learning disabilities, weight management and self-esteem issues, to young athletes looking to hone their sports skills.

Children in our program have demonstrated remarkable increases in their physical abilities and confidence level. These improvements in self-concept and skill enable them to feel more comfortable among their peers, and more confident in their everyday lives. This includes organized sports and physical education, as well as informal group recreational activities.

Our small groups enable your child to receive individualized attention and engage, on a social level, with their peers. Individual sessions are also available.

Getting Started

We offer a non-intimidating, relaxed environment where your child can feel comfortable. The first step is to arrange a time for a complimentary thirty-minute visit where you and your child can see our facility, try some of the equipment, and meet members of our staff. We feel it is important for the children to be a part of the decision process. If you decide you would like to proceed, we set up a time for your child to receive an assessment to evaluate balance, kinesthetic awareness, locomotor skills/coordination, strength, cardiovascular endurance, sports skills and self-esteem. At that time, parents are asked to complete a health history questionnaire and provide reports from current therapists, if applicable. After discussing the assessment results with parents, the Fitness for Health staff work as a team to develop a personalized program to match the needs of your child.

Making Fitness Fun

At Fitness for Health, children have so much fun, they forget they are exercising. Your child can experience virtual reality sports games with actual body movements; scale an 80-foot transverse climbing wall with different skill levels; climb a 10-foot tall glow-in-the-dark climbing wall while harnessed; bounce down a 30-foot trampoline while playing mini-basketball; negotiate a ropes course; bat in a batting cage with an indoor pitching machine; play glow-in-the-dark soccer; test skills against a high-tech reaction and coordination game; and be introduced to a variety of games and equipment involving visual perception and motor planning. Additionally, there is a full fitness center with weights and cardio machines and an outside half basketball court.
