Here at WSC, we want to encourage kids to exercise, so we offer the Youth Certification class to allow children betwen the ages of 10 and 14 to exercise with their parents. We want to ensure the kids are using the machines properly and safely. In addition, it is important to educate them on the essentials of fitness and weight training so the child knows how to care for their bodies moving forward in life.
It can be dangerous for children to weight train, if done incorrectly, and not all fitness equipment is designed to be used by children. Because of this concern, children under 14 are not allowed to work-out in the fitness area without taking the Youth Certification class and test. Once certified, the child is allowed on the fitness floor only with parent/legal guardian supervision.
Youth Certification Classes are available by appointment only. All classes are taught by our qualified fitness staff and discuss the basics of cardiovascular and resistance training. Each class is about 60-90 minutes and a certification exam must be passed to achieve clearance to train in fitness area.
Fee:
1-2 children $45/child
3-4 children $40/child
