+ What should my child wear/bring to class?
loose comfortable clothes preferably shorts and a t-shirt. Comfortable sneakers that provide good support. No sandles please. A water bottle for drink breaks.
+ Do parents need to stay and watch the class?
No You are welcome to stay and watch but many parents choose to either work- out themselves upstairs in the FAC adult gym, get a bite to eat at the cafe, or take the opportunity to run some errands. Most parents do not watch.
+ Is the class very competitive?
No. The class is designed to be fun and non threatening for children who shy away from completive situations. We do however utilize team competitive situations like relays and other fun games to make the class more interesting and fun. A special attention is given to good sportsmanship and all the children understand that competitive games are only played to make things more fun. Over competitiveness is not tolerated and quickly dealt with. Most games are in a TEAM environment where individuals are not singled out.
+ Do you do Cardio Work
Yes. The kids will work on their endurance through the use of fun exercise/running games. If we were to put kids on a treadmill and tell them to run 2 miles they would be bored and quit. By using fun exercise games that target the cardiovascular system we get kids to run and run and run and they enjoy doing it.
+ How do I sign up?
You can sign up in two ways. First you can go to www.friscofun.org and sign up online or you you can go to the Fisco Athletic Center in Frisco and sign up at the member services desk in person.
+ can I sign up in the middle of a session?
Yes. you may sign up at any time within a session. The Frisco Athletic Center will prorate for any missed classes. Your child will not be behind or lost by signing up after a session has started
+ My child is a Super Star athlete. Is Kids Fitness Made Fun for him/her?
Not really. The class is a general fitness type class that does work on increasing balance, moving mechanics,spatial awarness, coordination, overall strength and endurance, but it is not really geared for the high level athlete.
+ do you offer a Second Child Discount?
Yes! If you have siblings that would both like to take the class, we will grant you a 15%discount on your second child. You will need to email me your request for the discount at mark@kidsfitnessmadefun.com so I can email you the coupon needed for the Frisco Athletic Center Members Services Desk. ( they need verification to allow the discount)
+ Can I pick up my child just outside the building after class or do I need to enter the FAC?
You may pick your child up outside after class. Please let Mark know that you will be doing so. Due to the size of the FAC and having back to back classes it is impossible to keep track of your child once they leave the gym area.
+ Are there make-ups for missed classes?
Unfortunately no. Due to scheduling gym space at the FAC it is impossible to schedule make up classes.
+ Do you go outside?
Sometimes we go outside. Usually we will go out to the grassy area to the left of the FAC. ( opposite side of the outdoor pool). Remember to bring a water bottle if we do go outside. Usually we conduct the class in gym 1 of the FAC.
