Description

Just Gym offers gymnastic based movement classes for children from 1 year old. Getting your child active is vitally important. Being active increases co ordination as pathways are developed in the brain, gives confidence as they attempt new skills and find they are achievable, and creates a life long interest in physical exercise. Preschool classes are great fun as the child and parent work together moving around a circuit of activities. Included are activities of balance, rolling, spinning, hanging, jumping, manipulation. These help to build strength and muscle tone, body and spatial awareness, safe play, co ordination and confidence. Moving to music is often part of the warm up. After school classes are non competitive allowing a child to move and learn at their own pace. Basic movement patterns of landings, spring, balance, rotation, locomotion, manipulaton and swing are taught. These movement patterns are a foundation for all sports. Also offered are "Moving is Fun" and "Gym Development" these classes are designed for primary school age children for whom movement is a challenge. All classes run for 9 weeks within school Terms. Classes available in Nelson, Wakefield and Richmond
