At Confident Fitness we can offer a range of Children's Fitness options to suit your requirements, and most importantly, to give the child a fun, healthy experience, so they wont even realise they are exercising!! For Schools, Nurseries and Playgroups We can offer in-school, curriculum based activities, either on a regular basis, or perhaps quarterly throughout the school year. This includes age appropriate classes such as Fun and Fitness (a circuit based class), Dance, Combat and Zumbatomics (Kid's Zumba). These classes can easily be incorported into a Physical Education Session, and have been developed alongside the Key Stage Criteria, and matched to the Developmental Stages and Guidelines to ensure they are appropriate and achievable for each specific age group. We can offer very competitive rates, including a free initial taster session! In addition we run After School Clubs, with the same theme of activities, again at extremely competitive rates. We can also offer junior studio cycling classes for groups of 12 Children from Year 6 upwards at our Bramley based Cycle Studio. For Parents As well as After School Clubs, our Zumbatomics class for ages 7 - 12 already runs at Godalming Borough Hall on Mondays 5 - 5.45pm, during term time, and we are looking at developing Holiday Workshops teaching the children how to break down and choreograph dance and Zumba routines. For older and younger kids as well as teenagers, we can offer Zumbatomic parties at very reasonable prices. You provide the hall, cake, food, and party guests, we will provide the music, movement and the fun! For young adults, they can accompany a parent to the adult Zumba classes, with the parent's written permission. COMING SOON!!! - CHEEROBICS CLASSES - Click Here for more details.

Some figures on Childhood obesity and fitness:    1 in 4 Reception pupils in the UK are obese at the time of starting school.    By Year Six 33.4% of British schoolchildren are classed as obese.    To be classed as obese a child must have a BMI of over 30. The normal range is 18-25.    Childhood obesity can also lead to life-threatening conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.    Studies have shown that overweight children are more likely to grow up to be overweight adults.    Fewer than 1 in 3 children play competitive sport.    Children's Fitness has declined by 9% for boys and 7% for girls over the last ten years.    Under-fives should be active for 180 minutes – three hours – each day, once they are able to walk.    Children and young people (5-18 year olds) should be active for between 60 minutes and up to several hours every day, undertaking moderate to vigourous intensity physical activity. Three days a week should include vigourous intensity activities that strengthen muscle and bone.    Exercise promotes a sense of well being, improved self confidence and improved social skills, especially with team sports and games.    Exercise requiring co-ordination such as dance based fitness helps build neuro pathways in the brain.    Exercise is also a great stress reliever and time out for children and young adults.
