PARENTS and children aged between three and five are entitled to four free classes a week at Xercise4Less St Helens.
The gym, in Boundary Road, is running an initiative called Xercise4Kids which aims to encourage physical activity amongst children and their parents to help tackle childhood inactivity.
The project was developed by Xercise4Kids co-coordinator, Sarah Philp, who was keen to provide parents and children with the opportunity to enjoy exercise together and learn exciting ways of being active.
The classes are 45 minutes in length and each class incorporates four or five different activities that keep the heart rate high and challenge the major muscle groups, providing an extensive, but fun workout.
Sarah said: “Xercise4Kids was inspired by the lack of inter-generational activity available in the UK for both parent and child. It eliminates the childcare barrier and also encourages interaction between parent and child as opposed to the current child movement classes offered."
The classes are 45 minutes long and require participation from both the parent or guardian and the child.
Parents and children can attend the class free of charge by registering online or calling the club.
