The statistics above can be disheartening, but Sun House Fitness is here to help. Our youth training programs are designed to motivate, inspire, and teach kids and teens not only the benefits of exercise but also that it’s fun. Our mission is to instill in them the love of fitness so that they grow up looking at a healthy lifestyle as a normal, integral part their lives. We do this by providing dynamic, engaging, workouts that build strength, increase endurance, and improve confidence. We challenge them and encourage them to challenge themselves.
The physical benefits of fitness are commonly known, but the cognitive (see NIH study above) and mental health affects can also be profound. Regular exercise improves brain function but can also mitigate stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, and self-esteem issues.
We also teach our young clients about the benefits of healthy eating habits in a way that they can understand. We advocate for a balanced approach, talk about the positive ways types of foods affect us, and encourage them to explore healthy eating choices.
We use positive reinforcement for heathy behaviors, and gently encourage moderation in everything else. Look, we eat brownies and play Roblox too. We’re not insane!
So whether your sedentary child needs physical activity, your young athlete wants to improve sports performance, or you simply have a kid that wants to get stronger and more fit, we can help. We build stronger, healthier youth that learn to love fitness in an engaging,, supportive environment.
