Parents, We Understand
We know how difficult it can be to find time for exercise when juggling work and family, which is why we have an area dedicated for children to be active and have fun while parents workout. The recreation area features the latest equipment in exer-gaming technology - two gamebikes, two DDR pads, and a Wii video game console. There are four strength training pieces designed for children 6-13 years old. Kids can have fun while getting a great cardio workout, and strength train safely on the hydraulic exercise machines.
Exer-Gaming Equipment
Exer-gaming units are leading the way in the fight against childhood obesity by making fitness fun for kids. The Fit Stop has two gamebikes which provide an exceptional cardio workout while participating in competitive or fun racing games on a Playstation 2 console. Kids ride bikes and control steering and speed of characters on various atv and dirt bike games.
"Dance Dance Revolution" is a popular arcade game that gets kids' feet moving! Kids perform a sequence of dance steps on the DDR pads to keep rhythm to popular songs. They move their feet up, down, left, or right at a pace which they can determine based on their experience - beginner to expert.
The Nintendo Wii is an interactive system that allows kids to create the actions of their characters on the game. Sporting games require constant movement in order to complete various tasks. The Wii Fit is another popular game and is equipped with a balance board. Using the Wii Fit, kids can compete in races, learn common strength training moves, participate in yoga, or enjoy other challenging activities.
Not Just a Place for Kids
We recently added air and bubble hockey tables for individuals of all ages to enjoy. The recreation room is open to ALL gym members. Reward yourself after a long, exhausting workout - FITNESS SHOULD BE FUN!!
