| ABOUT MY GYM |
My Gym has created an extraordinary program and facility devised to help children six weeks to thirteen years of age develop physically, cognitively and emotionally. Imaginations soar and children triumph at My Gym Children's Fitness Center.
Our structured, age-appropriate weekly classes incorporate music, dance, relays, games, special rides, gymnastics, sports and other original activities. My Gym kids have so much fun as they gain strength, balance, coordination, fine and gross motor proficiency, agility, flexibility and social skills. The most important benefit we offer, however, is the building of confidence and self-esteem.
My Gym's state-of-the-art facilities have custom-designed equipment, the configuration of which is changed each week to provide a new and exciting experience for the children. Our extensively trained staff, award-winning class programs and excellent student/teacher ratio have earned My Gym the reputation as the best early learning program of its kind. |

| PHILOSOPHY |
-
Children are the most precious part of our
lives and the most valuable resource this planet has.
- Every child deserves to be treated with kindness,
patience, love and understanding.
- A youngster's
first seven years have a profound influence on the rest of
his/her life.
- It is imperative that a child develop
confidence and self-esteem during these important and
formative early years.
- Children are to be seen,
heard and believed.
- Youngsters will thrive in a
loving and noncompetitive environment where they feel
physically and emotionally safe.
- Immediate, positive
reinforcement is the most effective means to facilitate a
child's learning, comprehension and retention.
- Keeping a very low student/teacher ratio is the only way to
provide the individual attention young children require.
- Fun, variety and excitement are crucial elements in
motivating youngsters.
- Attitudes toward health and
fitness begin forming in the early years.
- Children
delight in getting to know and control their own bodies.
- The thrill of accomplishment from achieving a
physical task builds self-esteem and confidence that carries
over into all aspects of a child's life.
- An active
and physically fit youngster is a happy, healthy one.
There are countless lessons to be learned through
structured, group physical activity when presented in the
proper manner.
- Children learn to listen, to
follow directions, to be independent and to cooperate in a
group.
- They learn self-control and self-discipline.
- They learn to work for a goal and to work hard.
- They acquire social skills and learn more about
themselves as they interact with one another and the teachers.
- A child's vocabulary increases and even his/her
sense of humor.
- Most important of all, however, is
the evolving of a healthy self-image. A child who feels good
about him/herself has a jump-start on the path to becoming a
happy, well-adjusted adult!
