Fitness program for teens to launch at Lords this October
A brand-new, 8-week Teen Fitness Program is set to launch at Lords Recreation Centre from Monday 13 October.
The program, for young people aged 12-16, is specially designed to help this age group develop confidence, strength, coordination and overall fitness in a safe, supportive and coach-led gym environment.
The program includes machine work, free weights, partner exercises and team-based circuits, with classes held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3.45pm to 4.30pm, perfect for after school.
Mayor David McMullen said the program is set to offer young people a friendly and supportive entry to the gym.
“Lords’ new Teen Fitness Program is a great way to encourage young people to have a go, build confidence in the gym, and learn tips and tricks from qualified professionals in a relaxed setting.
“The program is launching at the perfect time, with exams just around the corner. Learn how to exercise with gym equipment safely and effectively; and then incorporate gym visits into your study routines, for more healthy and active exam periods.”
Participants can join one session a week for 8 weeks for $115, or two sessions for $200. Parental consent is required during sign-up.
