How Teens can benefit from having a fitness coach and taking fitness classes.

As teenagers become more independent, it’s important for them to explore fitness and form healthy habits. Younger kids get a lot of exposure to fitness through sports, but as they get older teens can grow out of certain sports and/or have new responsibilities that conflict with them being able to participate. Going to the gym is a great way to stay active and set the groundwork for healthy habits that last a life time.

The trouble is that in recent years there has been a surge in misinformation on social media about fitness that can be harmful for teens. They're bombarded with unrealtisic expecations, and the focus is often on aesthetics instead of ability. This is hard for even seasoned fitness professionals to navigate.

Having a fitness coach or mentor can be incredibly beneficial when it comes to navigating through the false information online. A knowledgeable fitness coach can provide guidance and support in a variety of ways, including helping teens understand and execute proper technique, form, and breathing patterns in order to reduce risk of injury and maximize the effectiveness of their workouts.

Another pitfall some teens face is that a traditional gym settings may not be appealing or engaging. Actually, even most adults can feel this way…

That’s why functional fitness and strength training classes are becoming a popular option for teenagers to stay fit while having fun and building long-lasting relationships.

Functional fitness combines bodyweight and weightlifting exercises to increase strength, endurance, and coordination. Not only does this type of training keep teens active, but it also offers a higher degree of challenge and a more rewarding experience than most other types of traditional gym workouts.

In addition, functional fitness is a great way to help teens build self-confidence, discipline, and commitment as they learn new skills and face new challenges every day. Classes are supervised by experienced trainers who can help teens learn the basics of functional fitness and advise them on any necessary modifications or variations. Since functional fitness classes are typically offered in small groups, teens can form friendships and build camaraderie, creating an environment that is fun and supportive.
