The Wellness Center at Berkeley Medical Center announces a youth summer fitness program, Wellkids Fun In Training (F.I.T.). Children between the ages of 5 and 11 can participate in this fitness program.
Wellkids F.I.T. was created as a workout for kids while their parents or grandparents are working out in the center. The Wellness Center is now opening up this program to the community. Children and their parents/guardians do not need to be a member of The Wellness Center to participate.
The goal of the program is to help kids get a head start on developing healthy habits that can last a lifetime. The kids in the program will work with the highly qualified staff of The Wellness Center. The program includes creative games and activities that get everyone up and moving; improving cardio fitness, strength and flexibility.
The Wellness Center is offering short term memberships for parents/guardians that are not currently members and would like to use The Wellness Center while their children are working out. The short term membership is $60 and valid June 16 through August 6. Childcare is also offered for younger children and days Wellkids F.I.T. is not in session (see The Wellness Center for more details).
Wellkids F.I.T. is being offered June 16 – August 6, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am-11:15am and, newly added this year, Tuesdays 5:15-6:30pm (no classes the week of June 29). All classes are held at The Wellness Center at Berkeley Medical Center. The cost is $2 per class for Wellness Center members, $5 per class for nonmembers.
Payment for all classes is due at registration. Total fee is based on number of classes signed up for. Registration deadline is June 12. To register, stop by The Wellness Center front desk for a registration form or email DDeJarnett@wvuhealthcare.com. For more information call 304-264-1232.
