I have added a new category to the blog for sharing local and national businesses that I think may be useful for my clients and other readers. I love supporting small (or not so small!) businesses so I will try to post at least once a month - send me information about your business or one that you recommend and I will do my best to share the love!
I am starting with what I think is a brilliant, brilliant concept - a fitness center for kids! How many of us Moms and Dads have gym memberships to keep ourselves fit; just imagine if you had learned to exercise and eat properly as a kid how much easier it would be to do as an adult. A brilliant idea! It’s called Fitwize 4 Kids and a location has opened in Cary, NC. Below is a press release sent to me by a client:
Fitwize 4 Kids, Inc., the nation’s leading innovator in children’s fitness and nutrition education is proud to announce the arrival of a Fitwize 4 Kids “Lifestyle Center” in Cary. Owner and Cary resident Kelly Duffey opened the doors to her new Fitwize 4 Kids facility earlier this month. The Cary Chamber of Commerce sponsored ribbon cutting will be held on Friday, May 2, 2008.
Fitwize 4 Kids Lifestyle Centers provide a fun filled environment, where kids ages 6 to 15 learn about fitness, nutrition and living a healthy lifestyle. Everything is planned with kids in mind - from the lively décor and energetic music, to fitness equipment specifically designed for the physiology of children’s growing bodies. The open program allows for kids to be conveniently dropped off and to join the supervised, 45-minute, full-body, circuit- style workouts. Additionally, membership includes a world-class nutrition curriculum, a motivation and rewards system, Kid’s Night Out events, field trips, summer camps, birthday parties, school assemblies and other fun activities for kids and their families.
Fitwize 4 Kids was created to help address the rising epidemic of childhood inactivity and the increasing need for youth sports strength training by providing an educational environment where kids can learn life-long habits.
Kelly noted that Fitwize 4 Kids is a place where kids in the Cary area can have fun while getting and staying fit. “Our goal is to empower our local youth to take ownership of their health and fitness lifestyles.” She said “it is our hope and expectation that they will achieve new levels of academic and sports performance, overall health stabilization and increased self-esteem as a result.”
Whether for general health improvements or for enhanced sports strength training, Fitwize 4 Kids is a place where kids can “get away from it all” and have fun getting fit.
