Move Well - Kids Class

The Move Well kids class is for ages under twelve. The age demarcation is not a hardline. Kids close to 12 can decide whether they would like to participate in the younger or older class. This class is specifically designed for prepubescent bodies and minds. The class will be silly and goofy, with plenty of shrieks and squeals. There will be lots of games and free play. There will be lots of learning, challenges, and accomplishments. We prioritize effort over achievement and character over ability.


PROGRAM FEATURES

Fun
Fitness is most effective when you are eager to engage with it. For kids that means making it fun. At Move Well we allow kids to be kids and focus on creating an environment they are comfortable and eager to participate.

Professional
Youth fitness at Move Well is backed by established scientific principles, constant evaluation and adoption of emerging data, research, practices, and policies of leading youth trainers from around the world, and practical experience from over a decade of dedicated youth fitness training.

Educational
We will not simply teach the kids how to perform exercises properly and give them reps, sets, and load schemes that they will perform with little to no understanding of why. We will teach the mechanics, biology, physics, psychology, and nutrition behind what they are doing, in easy to understand, age appropriate, repetitive mini lessons. There is always a teaching moment in the gym.

Guidance-Supervision-Accountability
The more structured and repetitive a fitness program is the more important it is that the athletes get proper guidance (teaching proper form and technique), supervision (constant uninterrupted evaluation), and accountability (correction of faults and affirmation of success) by a dedicated experienced professional.

Increased Capacity
All athletes that train in our program will improve their overall capacity across eleven clearly defined elements.
• Cardiovascular endurance
• Stamina
• Strength
• Flexibility
• Power
• Speed
• Coordination
• Agility
• Balance
• Accuracy
• Mental toughness

Personalization
While these are group sessions, we understand that each athlete is unique. We are all shaped differently, move differently, think and understand differently. Every effort will be made to identify those differences and customize the experience of each athlete to reflect those differences and provide the most benefit for their time and effort, while maintaining a team atmosphere.

Industry Leading Practices
At Move Well we practice industry leading training principles backed by extensive research and successful implementation by coaches at every level of sport and fitness.
• Dynamic and Unilateral Training – instead of one size fits all programs we address specific needs, asymmetries, and injury prevention with a heavy emphasis on unilateral and dynamic movement.
• Recovery as a Primary Metric – We view sleep, nutrition and other recovery essentials such as active rest and stress management as essential to performance and longevity.
• Fundamental Movement Focus – Training based on core movement patterns, alongside fundamental athletic principles such as core-to-extremity movement, full range of motion, and midline stabilization.
• Long-Term Athletic Development – Training focused on development of the athletes over years rather than just immediate short-term performance gains.
