Our exciting Youth Fitness Academy (YFA) was launched in March 2026 and aims to work with children aged from 9 to 15 years old. The workshops introduce children to the basic principles of fitness and training with the aim to ensure children have a meaningful and positive relationship with fitness training to enable them to learn, develop. The workshops are developed and delivered by experienced instructors who are highly qualified, hold enhanced DBS, First Aid and Insurance.
Delivery format
The format is a total of around 3hours, usually over consecutive days during school holidays. During each session participants will have a mixture of group learning, practical instruction and participation.
- Session 1: Healthy eating and key muscle groups, Cardio assessment
- Session 2: Forms of exercise, strength circuit
- Session 3: Recap and gym induction
All participants must wear suitable clothing and footwear for exercise, they must also bring a drink, or an empty bottle as there is a free water machine on-site.
Children must wait in the cafe area of reception where we will collect them prior to each session.
Parents may collect them from reception at the end of the session. Please arrive 10mins prior to the finish time to collect children. Parents must confirm in advance where a child will be making their own way home from the session.
