Junior Gym South Africa

Junior Gym South Africa, Exploring and Developing your child’s physical and emotional potential

Junior Gym South Africa is an exercise programme aimed at kids 7 to 16 years old. Due to all the technology available these days, kids are focused on computers, television, x-box and are developing diseases of lifestyle such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity at a far younger age. They are often socially awkward and uncoordinated all due to a lack of play.

In steps our owner and founder, Saul Cohn. Saul studied at ETA where he studied Personal Training and Sport’s Conditioning Trainer and Exercise Specialist in Children. Whilst studying there, Saul took exercise classes at Bischop’s Preparatory School and exercise classes for kids at the Sport’s Science Institute Of South Africa. He then worked as a Personal Trainer at Virgin Active and then has been at Atlantic Beach Estate since August 2012. He took on the odd child as a client and really found his niche in working with kids that needed to learn how to play and exercise without necessarily the need or pressure of making a sport’s team. The joy he experienced when receiving feedback from parents about how much confidence their kids have gained and how much they actually look forward to exercise now days is what drove him to start Junior Gym South Africa

Junior Gym will introduce kids to exercise in a fun way and set them up with healthy lifestyle habits for the rest of their lives. Their confidence will improve, as well as their concentration levels in class, social interactions and health and athletic abilities.

We’ve had a couple of trial classes and are launching exclusively to Atlantic Beach Estate with a fun and exciting Holiday Boot Camp running from the 25th of June to the 16th of July.
