Maxx Life is a Family Gym.\u00a0 We welcome and encourage our parent members to bring their kids with them to the gym.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

We understand that for many parents, it can be difficult to attend the gym on a regular basis, when they first need to arrange someone to mind their kids.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Many of our trainers have kids, and we face the same difficulties, especially when the kids are off school etc.<\/p>

We also understand that it is just as important for our kids, especially older kids, to exercise regularly, keeping themselves fit and healthy.\u00a0 In our modern world of smart phones, tablets and Netflix, it’s more important now than it ever was, for people of all ages to get moving and be active.<\/p>

At Maxx Life, we try and involve kids as much as possible.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In our Fitness Class Schedule, there are 38 classes per week that kids can join into.\u00a0 That’s over half our classes. Just look for the yellow kid icon, to see which classes are kid friendly.<\/p>

Classes such as Spin are perfect for kids who are tall enough to use the bike correctly.\u00a0 In BootCamps and Tabatas, we can usually accommodate kids of all sizes into most exercises, and provide lighter weights were necessary.\u00a0 It’s great to see kids training with their parents in these classes, and full families exercising together.<\/p>

We have a fantastically popular All Ages Bootcamp on a Thursday afternoon and Sunday morning which is full of kids working out with their parents.<\/p>

We also have sofas for kids to sit on, and WiFi for connecting tablets or phones too.<\/p>

All in all, we do try our best to accommodate parents bringing their kids to the Maxx Life.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

To ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable time at Maxx Life Gym we have put the following guidelines in place regarding children attending the gym. Please read them carefully.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The term “kids” is maybe not applicable here, as they are probably more like Young Adults.\u00a0 So for the sake of this rule, we’ll refer to them as members.<\/p>

Members must be aged 15 and over<\/b> to use the gym without a parent on the premises.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Members\u00a0must be aged 15 and over<\/span>\u00a0to use the\u00a0weights area in the gym.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

This is the area downstairs with the black rubber floor, where all the heavier weight lifting equipment is.<\/p>

For kids under the age of 15, it is not recommended to lift weights or put too much heavy strain on the body.\u00a0 A kids bones only fully fuse between the ages of 14-16, and are still growing up to the ages of 16-18.\u00a0 Training with heavier weights too young can actually cause damage to the skeletal system, with long-term issues down the line.<\/p>

Light weights like the ones we use in classes, as well as high intensity exercises, are the best for kids 14 and under.\u00a0 Even if training for a sport, kids should be focusing on fitness, stamina, speed, endurance, mobility, flexibility, agility and explosiveness.\u00a0 Strength training is not recommended at this age.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Kids must be 12 and over to use the cardio equipment upstairs from 5pm to 7pm weekdays.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Please note,<\/b>\u00a0many people may view a treadmill as safe for their kids, however they are only one button press away from changing the speed to 12km an hour and will get thrown off.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Kids under 12 can workout on the cardio equipment upstairs (excluding the Stair Master) when ALL<\/b> the following conditions are all met:\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>

1. The kid has an active membership, either as part of a Family Membership or as an Under 16 Membership, or they have paid for an U16 PAYG pass.<\/span><\/p>

2.\u00a0 The parent is next to their kid, whether standing or using an adjacent piece of equipment.<\/span><\/p>

3.\u00a0 The gym is not busy, and there is plenty of equipment available.<\/span><\/p>

4.\u00a0 The kid is the correct height to use the equipment safely.<\/span><\/p>

5.\u00a0 The parent instructs their kid on how to use the equipment properly and safely.<\/span><\/p>

6.\u00a0 The parent understands that they are fully responsibly for their kid.<\/span><\/p>

It is important that parents follow all the above rules, and act responsibility to ensure that their own kids are safe while in the gym.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Fitness Classes are by far, the best way to get your kids involved with exercising.  There’s nothing better than spending some fun time working out in an exercise class with your kids.  Therefore, we have priced our Fitness Classes for kids as fair as we can.<\/p>\n

Primary School Kids<\/b> – If your kid is in primary school, there is no charge.  Just bring them along and let them join in beside you.  They won’t be able to do all of the exercises, but we’ll get them moving as much as possible.  There is no need to book them in, except in the case of Spin (please see below).<\/span><\/p>\n

16 and Under<\/b> –  If your kid is 16 or under, then they will need to book into any classes, and pay a small fee.  You will need to register an account on our booking system for each kid, to book them into any classes.  You can add your kids to your account, in your Profile, and control all their bookings from there.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Being able to bring your kids to your gym with you, is a completely new concept really.  We don’t know another gym that would allow it in the same capacity as Maxx Life.  It does add a whole new dimension to Maxx Life, and makes it the fun family friendly gym that it is.<\/p>\n

We feel however that it is vitally important to provide all this information above to parents, so that they understand firstly what is expected of them as parents, and secondly, the limitations regarding kids in the gym.  <\/p>\n

If you are a parent member at Maxx Life, or thinking of joining, and have any queries at all regarding bringing your kids to the gym, please feel free to either speak to us in the gym, or contact us using the WhatsApp link below, or any other contact you have. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
