Rules & Regulations

 

The FITNESS ZONE is a wonderful, fun and
playful area designated to help kids achieve
their optimal fitness. As we begin to offer
children the chance to learn how to enjoy a
healthy and active lifestyle, we must stress
the importance of following the rules and
regulations set forth by management to
insure a safe workout environment.

REQUIRED: SIGNED WAIVER
In order for your child to work out in The Fitness Zone, a waiver must be filled
out and signed by the child’s parent or guardian.
 
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.

As we look to provide a healthy environment for our children, we must be aware
there are some risks associated with activities such as strenuous exercise and
playing sports. Our goal is to try and avoid all injuries and sicknesses. Your
contribution is appreciated. Please don't bring sick children to the Zone.

One pound of fat is equivalent to 3500 calories. The American Cancer Society recommends that if you wish to lose one pound of fat, you should decrease your daily intake by 250 calories (about 1 candy bar) and increase your exercise level to burn an additional 250 calories per day. This will equate to 3500 calories over
a 7 day period.

There are many HEALTH and SAFETY CONCERNS related to strenuous
exercise programs for children.

To minimize risk of injury and maintain a safe environment for others in the Zone,
if your child is ill, sick or too tired to workout, please do not send them to The

strict order of etiquette and safety to address the following concerns:
- Eliminate horseplay to minimize risk of injury.

- Maintain a clean workout environment. (minimize germs, dirt, dust)
- Eliminate teasing or distracting of others.
- Identify physical conditions (obesity or anorexia) and educate to eliminate it.
- Identify soreness from strained muscles and teach how to manage it.
