Imagym Kids Play and Fitness Kicks Off 'Fit Summer Fun' -- A Series of Fitness Programs Especially Created for Kids Up to 12 Years Old

Posted on: Tuesday, 12 June 2007, 18:00 CDT

ATLANTA, June 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagym Kids Play and Fitness launches today its summer programs -- Fit Summer Fun -- to encourage kids to get started and committed on a lifetime journey of good health and wellness. The three-month program offers an integrated selection of fun activities specially designed to help kids, from tots to teens, develop physically, socially and intellectually.

Featuring Fit-Play Summer Camps and Active Summer Classes, the programs provide high-quality, engaging activities that build motor skills, confidence, and self-esteem. The programs are also supplemented by various nutrition games and activities that teach kids the importance of healthy eating.

"One out of three children in the United States is either overweight or at serious risk of becoming so. And the percentage of overweight children is growing at an alarming rate," says Carla Civita, President and Co-Founder of Imagym. "Kids born today are expected to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents due to inactivity and poor diets, and we are determined to change the trend."

Based on Imagym's unique fitness curriculum, the summer programs are designed to get kids active and keep them active -- not for a month or two, but for a lifetime. With great activities that include age-appropriate gymnastics, fit-play, structured games, sports skills and yoga, the summer camps also incorporate creative arts and crafts, and even cooking lessons.

"On the whole, kids are spending less time exercising and more time in front of the TV, computer, or video-game console," commented Stacy Ardoin, Club Director. "Today's busy families now have the difficult task of filling up their children's daily routines with fun activities and our programs are a great way to keep kids engaged in exciting activities all summer long."

Aside from Fit Summer Fun, Imagym offers a wide variety of programs especially developed for children and America's busy lifestyles, including a semi-personal training program called, KidSolutions. Working directly with a personal trainer, members work on specialized routines to reach their goals of improving physically in a particular sport or simply becoming more fit and healthy.
