One of the latest trends in physical fitness today is enrolling young children for some one-on-one fitness training. With parents being more and more concerned about their kids’ lack of physical activity and weight, they are increasingly turning to personal trainers NYC. In 2006, the IHRSA reported that seventeen percent of personal training clients were between the ages of six and seventeen. This is up twenty percent from 1998. Currently, roughly fifteen percent of American children are overweight with the highest percentage being twenty two point eight percent in Washington DC, to the lowest being eight point five percent in Utah, as reported by the non-profit Trust for America’s Health. Know that not all personal trainers work well with kids or are even sure how to exercise with them safely. Try to find a trainer with a background in child development, teaching or coaching and if your child is involved in a specific sport, try to find a trainer that has a similar background.
