My Gym Children?s Fitness Centers Lead The Fight Against Childhood Obesity
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 12, 2004
My Gym Enterprises, has much to be proud of as their 20th year in business comes to a close. Aside from the numerous accolades and awards the successful family of gyms has garnered the company believes its greatest achievement lies in its ability to change and enhance children?s lives all over the world.
At a time when studies have proven that poor nutrition and lack of physical activity ? due to too much, television, video game, and computer time ? has helped make childhood obesity reach epidemic proportions, parents are viewing My Gym as important to their children?s growth and development as pre-school.
For two decades, My Gym has been at the forefront of helping change the perception of fitness in this country. Their vision in the creation of the My Gym organization, stems from the basic understanding that in order to live a healthy lifestyle as an adult, you must begin some form of physical activity early on. To this end, they have developed and offer award-winning, structured, noncompetitive and age-appropriate classes to stimulate children?s strength, balance, coordination, agility, flexibility and social skills through games, music, exercise, sports, special rides, gymnastics and fun.
?My Gym helps children ? from 3 months to 13 years ? develop the skills, confidence and positive self-image needed to become healthy young adults,? says My Gym?s Vice President of Operations Monique Vranesh. ?The tremendous growth of the My Gym franchise over the last twenty years not only proves that children flourish in this type of environment, but it is also a testament to how our philosophy is the key to helping battle obesity and other childhood ailments in this country.?
To further help families and children, especially those with special needs, My Gym created a special division called Challenged America Foundation, a non-profit organization that strives to improve the lives of children who are physically challenged, abused, neglected, or underprivileged. Through scholarships and fundraising, Challenged America provide families with limited resources and disabled children the ability to attend My Gym classes and the funds to purchase needed equipment and services for their personal use. Challenged American takes a special interest in obese children and their families with whom they educate on the benefits of the My Gym program in relation to weight loss, flexibility and strength. Founded by My Gym?s Randy Bertish, who is physically challenged himself and overseen by Steven Jolton, Challenged America Foundation has successfully helped thousands of children lead healthy and content lives.
My Gym?s wide variety of physical early learning/pre-gymnastics classes offers children an outlet for fun and fitness in a controlled and safe environment with state-of-the-art facilities and highly-qualified professionals. Named one of Entrepreneur Magazine?s fastest growing franchises in 2003, My Gym currently has over 130 locations in the United States and several international locations.
