From Spring 2008, young people in Ryedale aged 12-16 years will be able to access their local gym for just £1! 'Gym 4 You' is part of a commitment to improve health and fitness of young people aged between 12 and 16 through expert advice and guidance in a controlled environment. Gym 4 you involves specific gym sessions for young people, to encourage participation in physical activity. The sessions will provide expert instruction on the correct use of gymnasium fitness equipment, and advice on individual fitness programmes for young people. The project is open to all 12 - 16 year olds as a specified ‘Young Persons’ session in the gym timetable. The programme will also be made aware to GPs, Health Practitioners/Professionals e.g. school nurses and also other non health professionals e.g. teachers, who will be able to promote the scheme to encourage young people who would like to increase the amount of physical activity they take part in beyond the school curriculum. Before the project starts, specific training will be provided to existing gym instructors, by SHOKK, who specialise in professional fitness for the youth sector, in not only physiological development but also psychological development, motivation and concentration.
