	REQUIRED: 3 SESSION ORIENTATION PROGRAM All children who participate in the Fitness Zone and the activities within, must attend a 3 session orientation. This "introduction to fitness" will include rules, etiquette and a complete A 2 Z list of what is offered. Orientation serves as a catalyst to kids who are looking to implement a positive health and fitness program into their life. While much of what we do will be fun in nature, the underlying significance will be to infuse the ingredients of a healthy and active lifestyle into the children so they can reap the benefits as they get older.
