Will my child be doing military style push ups and boot camp exercises?
Will you be pushing your child to the point of complete exhaustion? Nope
because that's not fun! We will be working hard using light free weights, doing cardio
activities, talking about healthy eating, sizzling up a few healthy treats in the kitchen studio,
and taking a trip or two to the grocery store to talk about what's healthy to eat and what
isn't. We will work together as a group to achieve our individual goals, which your child will
track. Each child will be given a workbook to bring to each session. In each session, we will
use our workbooks to track our goals, progress and physical activity that we have
completed throughout the week.
My child is not overweight. Can you still help them with becoming more
physically active and nutrition? Yes! Our program is designed as an overall
approach to being physically fit. Our goal is ultimately designed for children to maintain
life-long health, not weight loss. By being physically active and making healthy food
choices, overweight children will often lose weight by introducing such positive changes to
their bodies.
Do you offer one-on-one personal training sessions for children? And
adults? Yes, please visit our Personal Training page for more information. Susan
Caldwell, who designed and is managing Hi 5 Fitness, is an ACE (American Council on
Exercise) Certified Personal Trainer and has worked with dozens of clients up to age 87!
She is the mother of two children under the age of six, one of whom has a special disability.
Susan was one of twelve inspiring stories in January 2008's People Magazine's "Half Their
Size" issue. She can tailor a program to meet your needs or the needs of your child in an
individual setting. To learn more about Susan, please visit her website at
www.SusanCaldwell.com.
What food plan do you recommend for my child? We are working with a licensed
dietitian to develop a well rounded food plan, but you can visit the FDA's food pyramid
website for a healthy approach to eating. Their website is http://www.mypyramid.gov/KIDS/.
This free website offers lots of information on making well balanced food selections as well
as meal tracking for free. We are happy to set up an appointment for you for a consultation
with our dietitian. There would be an additional fee should you decide to work with our
dietitian to develop an individualized food plan.
Can you track my child's weight from week-to-week? Yes. Just let us know and
we will weigh your child and record it in their workbook each week.
Your schedule does not fit my child's schedule. Can you offer more session
times? We are working on adding more classes at different times to our schedule. If
there is a specific time for which you are looking, please send us an email and let us know.
How can I help my child at home? We can help your child stay physically active and
learn a healthy approach to eating at Hi 5 Fitness, but you are their biggest cheerleader
and example! As your child's at-home coach, encourage your child's movement and
exercise by becoming more active yourself! Create a new lifestyle that includes weekend
outings such as hiking (there are LOTS of great walking trails in the area), biking, swimming
and skiing... any thing that encourages physical activity. Invite friends and family who also
enjoy being active.
Do you offer online payment options? We do not currently offer online payment
options at this time. If you wish to pay by credit card, please call us and we are happy to
complete it for you and can immediately email you a receipt.
What credit cards do you accept? Mastercard, Visa, and Discover. We are also
happy to accept personal checks or cash. Just call us and we can email you a receipt
immediately.
Is there an expiration date for sessions? A child may use the sessions within 60
days.
Do you offer gift certificates? Yes, please call us at 919-900-7569 or email us at
info@Hi5Fitness.com.
How should my child dress for Hi 5? We do request tennis shoes and comfortable
clothing! The staff of Hi 5 will wear long gym pants or long khaki pants with Hi 5 Fitness
shirts. We do not wear spaghetti straps, cut off pants, or tight fitting clothes.
