In the United States, the number of teenagers affected by obesity has nearly tripled since the 1970s. From lack of exercise to lack of motivation, online gaming to minimal school resources, there are several reasons why today’s youth has fallen behind the curve when it comes to staying active. That’s why we’ve created a specialization for trainers who want to help reverse the problems facing today’s youth and face their challenges head-on. Through hands-on exercises and expert programming, you’ll understand how to help keep kids motivated and engaged in sports, weightlifting, running, and more.
