best kids fitness class

Activities & Days Out / 4 November, 2024 / My Baba

What is it? Apart from a geeky homage to a certain superhero franchise… Is it the best kids fitness class since Joe Wicks? No. Is it owned by Nike? No. Is it a couple of guys trying to make a quick buck?

Kinsler’s Academy for Gifted Youngsters

The truth is, based in London and Bournemouth, Kinsler’s Academy for Gifted Youngsters is a safe space for kids to learn about fitness and be as nerdy as they like.

Created by brothers Andrew and Matthew Kinsler in 2024, Kinsler’s Academy coaches youngsters between ages 5 and 11 on the fundamentals of fitness.

Our kids will learn the basics of manual handling, such as picking up something awkward from the floor and engaging your back muscles when lifting.

Each session features a gymnastic/calisthenic element that children can practice independently. We can teach them how to use their bodies safely to avoid injuring themselves or others.

Last but not least, they will get to play with fake swords and shields from beloved films and television. This last one may sound funny, but we like to think of it as the carrot at the end of the stick.

Classes are also unique (and here’s the fun part) in that parents train alongside their children. That’s right. This solves the age-old problem of ‘what do I do with myself for an hour while my kids are in class?’ Classes are completely scalable, which means that parents, you can jump right into the action as well! The best fitness classes for kids allow you to train with your child, bond with them and get in your exercise for the day, as well as the ultimate prize…bragging rights.

To learn more, go to kinslersacademyforgiftedyoungsters.com and book a place for you and your child. Classes are £16 for one adult and one child and last 45 minutes.
