KEEPING KIDS HEALTHY AND FIT:

    /24-7PressRelease/ - MANHATTAN, NY, September 05, 2007 — Manhattan parents have an exciting new fitness option for their children this season as the New York Kids Club announces the launch of the "Ultimate Fitness" program for 3 - 18 year olds.

Keeping children fit and healthy is high on the priority list of Manhattan parents as childhood obesity continues to rise and parents seek to find activities that will keep their children engaged and excited about physical activity.

The National Association for Sports and Physical Education recommends school age children participate in at least sixty minutes of physical activity each day, which can be challenging to coordinate between after school activities, music lessons, study groups, homework and social and family engagements each week.

New York Kids Club Founder and mother of four, Pam Wolf, believes it is an absolute necessity. "Daily structured physical fitness provides my children with the focus and balance needed to succeed," shares Ms. Wolf, "all four are eager to participate in this new program as it serves the needs and interests of athletes, as well as, those just looking to keep fit."

The revolutionary program pairs Rock Climbing, Gymnastics, Rope Climbing, agility circuits, sports games and Kickboxing with exciting, up tempo contemporary music designed to keep children actively engaged.

"Our goal is to inspire a life long love of fitness," shares Director and program creator, Gair Morris, "the formula is found in keeping children's interest by pairing a variety of different activities together for a full body workout in a great space that above all else is just plain fun!"

According to Operations Director Crystal Roberts, "The program response has been overwhelming. We have already opened up several new sections of the class to accommodate additional registrations."
