Youth Teen & Cardio Kickboxing

Develop the confidence to Be Yourself! Our kickboxing classes help teens develop a positive self image and the courage to think for themselves. Through developing a lean, strong physique, and solid self-defense skills, our teens gain a tremendous level of inner confidence. And because they are able to stand up to negative peer pressure, they are more able to focus on present and future academic success.

Help your teen maximize their true potential.

Besides keeping your body fit, kickboxing has tons of other benefits. According to a study by the ACE, you can burn anywhere from 350 to 450 calories an hour with kickboxing!

GRAVITY SYSTEM^TM  

GRAVITYouth Series™ is an innovative youth fitness program by efi Sports Medicine and is designed to help kids be active, train for sports and, most importantly, have fun.

The GRAVITYouth Series at the YMCA features two exciting, age-specific workouts: Secret Circuit, for kids ages 7 to 11, and Sports Circuit, for adolescents ages 12 to 15.  Both 30-minute workouts are performed on efi's revolutionary GTS  machine, an incline glideboard and cable pulley system that uses an individual's body weight as resistance.  The GTS enables the Y to offer a safe and effective means of training users of all ages, sizes and abilities. 

Secret Circuit is set up as an interactive game for 7- to 11-year-olds.  Participants choose from a deck of cards featuring various exercises they can perform and surprises such as wild cards to keep the kids interested and entertained. Sports Circuit engages 12- to 15-year-olds by linking exercises to sports activities and competition. GRAVITYouth stickers and wall chart make it easy for instructors to motivate all age groups and track participants' progress.
