Fitness Center for 9-10Year Olds

Hi, C. R.
Well it doesn't say were you live, but in Monrovia,CA they have the Little tykes sorry do not know address but it is on foothill and Madinson.

Hope this helps,
D. k.

Where are you? There is a Kids fitness &or Karate center in Placentia/Yorba Linda. I can get the name & address if you are interested.

My 9yr old daughter is also overweight, but she has motor skill issues so its harder for me to find something she'll do.

Hi C.,
Yes, my 13 and 10 year old kids work out a youth conditioning center which includes cardio, SAC (speed, agility, coordination) and circuit training. They have trainers and they begin and follow up with fitness testing every quarter. Both of my kids are in great shape and love to work out. They are involved with sports and just running around too. The gym provides general conditioning as well as more specialized programs for athletes trying to improve their strength and skill.
They design a program that fits your child. The facility we go to is called Bogifit Youth Conditioning Center in Anaheim Hills, on La Palma between Imperial and Lakeview. The phone number is ###-###-#### or www.BOGIFIT.com. If you don't live in this area; call and see if they have one near you.
Good Luck!

I honestly wouldn't take her to a gym because then she might become self concious. I would say if you have a dog, take your girls and have them walk the dog. If not, you could always take them to the park. We're starting to get nice weather, so spending some time at the park on a regular basis could be fun for all of you. I know she's a bit older, but I even still have fun at the park and I'm 19 and I have a six month old baby! I say you're never too old to go to the park. :) Swimming is also fun. If you don't have a pool, there are places that have swimming pools that are open to the public. Just look on the internet and I'm sure you'll find something in your area.

I know huh. I haven't heard of one, but what a great business idea! A place where kids can get moving! I can't wait to see if anybody else knows of such a place. I used to take my kids to 'Discovery zone' to get them out of the house and run around, but that's not the same as a kid place for exercising.

I've seen young kids working out at at Fitness 19.

Even better option - take her to the park and make her run around playing, buy a trampoline (it's amazing how much exercise they get on this), put in a basketball hoop..something like that. we all need to stay in shape naturally and if kids are given the chance, they'll exercise the weight right off. take your family on hikes (eaton canyon, by jpl, there's a ton of places). make it a weekend ritual to do something fun like that and she'll drop the weight. gyms are intimidating for kids and it makes them feel FAT! trust me on this, i was and am overweight and going to the gym feels like a dr. appointment. playing is much better!! good luck!

I've not heard of gyms accepting children, however, I know that the Lakewood YMCA has a health class for children and it may include exercising. You might want to check with your local YMCA.
