Fitness for Youth and Young Adults


Good Foundations are Important--getting an early start cannot be overemphasized. Establishing proper diet, fitness and overall healthy living habits early will help them to become a way of life. Get your kids away from the video games, get them out and active! The benefits are immeasurable.

Most kids from 12 up can start to understand abstract ideas like muscular fitness, bone density, body composition and motor fitness. Continuing this through high school and even college will help maintain these foundations through adult life.

...And, parents, don't worry, there is substantial evidence that kids can lift weights after 11 years old if it is done with supervision to ensure proper form and that the technique is age-appropriate.

Let's not forget the importance of self-esteem, mental discipline and socialization that exercise and even casual sports provide.

BodyByGeoff understands the importance of youth & young adult fitness. We have a different, more individual concept that stresses either one-on-one personal training or small group training called Performance Club.
