Fitness Facts Blog

As a society we are reactive in health. We go to the doctor once we are sick, we join the gym once we are overweight and make big lifestyle changes once we find out that we are at risk of terminal illness.

The opportunity to make a change to our attitudes, starts with our children. Kids have a window where they can maximise development and co-ordination, adopt healthy lifestyle habits and attitudes and make sport and fitness a part of their lives.

As parents it is important to give our children choice and support. 

What is a kid's gym? Well it's not treadmills, mirrors and big weight machines? As Gecko was a totally new concept we never really knew what to call ourselves in the early days. In fact we still don't. Kid's gym, children's fitness centre, play centre we get them all!

The reality is we are a gym but we for 4 year olds through to teenagers.

So how is it different?

• Classes are always supervised by a coach (over 40 kids classes a week)
• Classes are fun based with colours music and laughter everywhere.
• It's cool
• Kids are tested every term and get a new colour headband each time they pass
• The workout is different every week
• No GROWN UPS ALLOWED!
