Kids are not little adults

Sam Wood - Tuesday, February 01, 2011

Working in kid's fitness is not about following a program like a robot. It is about connecting with each and every individual child, finding out what makes them tick and ultimately creating a level of intrinsic motivation for that child.

As adults we go to the gym/exercise, (some of us!) as we have an understanding of the health benefits. Kids are different. They aren't interested in avoiding a stroke or reducing stress levels. They want to have fun, run faster, jump higher or just hang out with friends.

So what stimulates kids - music, colours, people, challenges and FUN.

Gecko is a 3 part process.

  1. Creating an amazing atmosphere of sounds, intriguing kids equipment and colour
  2. Creative programs with endless variety
  3. Coaching personalities that bring it all to life!

As the Gecko parents say to us "Finally a place they can call their own!"
