That’s why we welcome young people from 12 years old in our facilities, encouraging them to cultivate their well-being from now on. Summer is also an ideal time to introduce our teenagers to the gym. Why not take advantage of this time without school to develop active habits?

THE FOUNDATIONS OF HEALTH: EDUCATE AND INSPIRE

Physical education is not limited to the classroom. And unfortunately, we can only count on schools to get our young people moving regularly. Physical exercise therefore extends to daily life and the choices we make for our bodies. Establishing healthy habits early in life is essential to prevent various diseases and conditions related to a sedentary lifestyle. Regular training not only helps maintain a healthy weight, but it also strengthens growing muscles and bones, promoting harmonious physical development.

Let’s not forget that our youth are inspired by the people around them. So we act as role models for them. By seeing you being active, they may be too!

THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL BENEFITS OF TRAINING

The scientific literature is full of studies demonstrating the multiple benefits of physical exercise for adolescents. In addition to the obvious physical benefits such as improved strength , endurance and flexibility , regular physical activity is crucial for mental health . It helps reduce stress and anxiety , improve mood and promote better sleep . All essential elements for the overall well-being of young people.
