Each family must share a photo or video participating in or trying the challenge using the hashtag #FitFamFoco to be entered to win a FREE 6-month gym membership.

*If you have a 12-year-old who has not yet progressed too far through puberty or is a “young” we, it may be appropriate for her.

Healthy Steps

This special class for boys ages 11-13 is designed to teach them about the transition to becoming a young man. This class is designed to have a parent or other guardian attend, as there are “talk sessions” throughout the class when the boys are encouraged to discuss things with them. The class covers physical, emotional and social changes associated with puberty while promoting positive body image and healthy lifestyle choices.
