Providing parents with a safe environment where their kids can have fun while getting fit!

We offer fun and innovative programs for kids between the ages of 5 to 15 that build self-esteem and stronger bodies.

Our mission is to empower the youth of today and tomorrow, by teaching them the life-long benefits of staying fit, eating right and living a healthy lifestyle. There are various types of child specific programs that have been developed which are a combination of getting the kids used to an active lifestyle as well as honing some skills in them.

This is done by exposing them to our circuit training, sports conditioning, awesome classes and activities. Involving your kids in group activities is very beneficial; there are a lot of positive outcomes from these types of programs.

Kids Fitness Equipment

Research over the past 10 to 15 years has shown that with proper adult supervision, strength training is a safe and effective method of conditioning for children (sources: Center for Disease Control, American Pediatrics Association).

Fitwize 4 Kids Lifestyle Fitness Centers provide specially designed fitness equipment that is made for kids bodies. Each piece allows for multi-joint, closed kinetic chain movements.

Research shows that these types of movements reduce the likelihood of damage to developing bone growth plates. The movements also maximize compression forces that increase bone density in adolescents and pre-adolescents.

When combined with our low-weight, high repetition resistance program, this equipment allows growing kids to safely build lean muscle mass and reduce the risk of injury.
