Fit Club for Girls

Fit Club for Girls is an eight-week Carleton Place youth program established in 2008 by Heritage Community Fitness.

Girls today live in a society filled with the unrelenting pressures of social media and reality television; outlets that continually reinforce the idea that they are not enough. We want girls to be strong and confident people who possess the tools needed to nurture healthy self-esteem. Creating an atmosphere where girls can connect, express themselves, and celebrate what makes them unique is why we created Fit Club for Girls. We want girls to know that they can define their own ideas of success and beauty and we want girls to feel comfortable with themselves and confident in their abilities.

Designed for ages 9 to 12 and led by Kerry McCormick, this interactive program combines games and active play with conversations about general health, nutrition, mind/body awareness, and body image. Activities include age-appropriate:

  • weight training
  • cardio drills
  • yoga
  • pilates
  • interval and circuit training
  • team building
