Thank you to all of our teens who participated in the 2011 Teen Fitness program! Registration is closed, but check back again in May 2012.
Our Teen Fitness program will be made available for youth aged 12 to 17 at all GoodLife Fitness clubs from coast to coast.
The program will be made available 7 days a week, between 8am to 4pm, with the last check-in at 3pm at each club.
Participating teens will have full club access with the following exceptions: tanning, pool, sauna, whirlpools, and Hot Yoga. See the full rules and regulations of the program.
We've all heard the news: overweight and obese teenagers are tipping the scales at an alarming rate. According to the Canada Health Measure Survey (2010), over 26 percent of children and youth are overweight. Additionally, 60 percent of Canadian youth do not get the required daily physical activity for optimum growth and development. A whopping 93 percent of children and youth are not meeting Canada's physical activity guidelines.
"At GoodLife, we are passionate about helping all Canadians become fit and healthy and we know the importance of starting healthy habits at a young age," said David Patchell-Evans, GoodLife Founder & CEO.
