 Sayville Fitness is committed to helping our members achieve their goals of health and fitness. This commitment even extends to their children. It is no secret that there is presently a national health crisis concerning our children; childhood obesity is one of our nation's most pressing challenges. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 15 percent of children and adolescents 6-19 years-old are overweight, nearly three times that of the 1960s. In some geographic areas, more than 40 percent of children are overweight.
We here at Sayville Fitness, are doing our part to help combat this epidemic. Beginning in October 2008, we will be offering Fit Kids classes following the guidelines of the FITNESSGRAM. What is the FITNESSGRAM? It is a program developed by the Cooper Institute in Dallas, Texas to increase parental awareness of their children's fitness levels. By developing an easy way for physical education teachers to report the results of physical fitness assessments, children gain a much greater chance of being happy and healthy. FITNESSGRAM provides accurate and reliable information about your child's level of physical fitness. Because fitness has so many components, our FITNESSGRAM test (and report) includes multiple assessments to appropriately monitor health and progress. Some kids may have good muscular fitness but need improvement on aerobic fitness. By having a complete report, you (and your child) will know more about their overall level of physical condition and how it can be improved.
Many school districts have adopted FITNESSGRAM as an educational tool for promoting physical activity and fitness for school-aged youth. It is our primary goal to help prepare our Fit Kid members. The Fit Kids classes will be held Monday, Wednesday and Friday beginning October 1, 2008 from 6-7PM and will be lead by Denise Donohue, a New York State certified Physical Education teacher.
PRICE: $125.00 FOR THREE MONTHS
