We are excited to offer Fitness Club again this year under the guidance of Coach Robin. Sessions take place every Tuesday from 3:00 to 4:30 PM and are designed as a fun, progressive movement program carefully adapted to the ages and abilities of the children who enroll.

​

The first 30 minutes (3:00–3:30) serve as a less structured arrival period. This time allows children to settle in, reconnect with one another, and ease into the afternoon with light movement or warm-up activities. At 3:30, Coach Robin takes over for 60 minutes of focused, direct instruction that runs until 4:30.

​

The first several weeks of the program emphasize building a strong foundation. Children will learn the rituals, routines, and safety procedures that help the group work successfully together, while also developing essential foundational movements. This careful start ensures every participant feels comfortable, confident, and prepared for the activities ahead.

​

A typical session of direct instruction generally includes a five-minute jump-rope warm-up, basic tumbling and mat movement, bodyweight exercises, mobility work and stretching, and fitness games or agility challenges. Equipment such as jump ropes, yoga balls, and cones is regularly used, and activities occasionally move outdoors when appropriate. As the children gain greater coordination, body control, and independence, the challenges gradually increase in difficulty and complexity.

​

Once the group has reached the appropriate level of readiness, Coach Robin will begin introducing basic self-defense concepts. These include stand-up and kickboxing fundamentals, clinch work, basic wrestling, and introductory submission techniques. All self-defense instruction is delivered with a strong emphasis on safety, control, and age-appropriate progression so that children develop useful skills in a supportive and carefully structured environment.

​

Fitness Club offers children a consistent weekly opportunity to build strength, coordination, confidence, and healthy habits while having fun and working together as a group. We look forward to welcoming participants this year and helping them grow through progressive, engaging movement experiences with Coach Robin.
