For parents who are interested if giving their child the benefits that strength training can bestow, please call us at 212 579 9320 or email us.

We'll be happy to send you a booklet that contains all the information you'll need to have confidence that what we say and do for youngsters is safe and effective. For starters please click here for the official stance on strength training for kids from the American Council on Exercise.


After your child completes at least 40 training sessions in one year, we will donate a copy of Strong Kids Healthy Kids to the child’s school library and a $100 donation in the child’s name to the school’s PTA. If your child completes 80 or more sessions in one year, we’ll double the donation! Plus, your child will receive a special reward!

Strong Kids Healthy Kids Program

Strength Training Produces Profound Effects in Kids!

With this program, kids and teens have the option of doing a full half hour session just like adults or a 15-minute session as part of our Strong Kids Healthy Kids program.

Strength training for children was once thought to be dangerous and unproductive. Scientific research performed over the past decade indicates otherwise. In fact, the benefits for the child (8+ years) include:

Increased muscular strength
Enhanced bone density
Greater resistance to injury
Superior athletic performance
Decreased body fat
More self confidence and self esteem
Improved muscular and cardiovascular endurance

And a bunch more!

Curing Obesity

It is often thought that adolescent obesity is caused or hastened by physical inactivity. Research reveals that this stock notion is completely untrue. While physical activity is a must for youngsters, research indicates that (believe it or not) obese children are just as active as lean children. Research also indicates that strength training - not physical activity - is the single most effective exercise method for reversing adolescent obesity. This along with proper eating habits can dramatically alter a child's body composition.
