For those of us who have teenager creatures in our homes, keeping the interested and active is often a challenge. As parents it is no longer our duty to be their entertainment directors, but the necessity to keep them occupied is a vital one. One company in Mountain View, California has a creative and healthy approach: gyms made just for teens. They are places where teenagers can work out without the pressures from parents, but with a twist that makes them appealing to this age group.
Overtime Fitness, Inc, is the only gym in the country that caters entirely to the brace face population. Here kids can scale climbing walls, attend cheer leading conditioning classes or compete against each other in video game dance-offs or stationary bike races. The creators of Overtime Fitness say they are not aiming to create future gym rats, but rather are looking to keep kids busy and engaged in healthy activities. Although the gym has yet to turn a profit, the owners are hoping that more communities will take note of this innovative idea and the word will spread, taking the concept nationwide and keeping many more teens leading healthy and plugged in to wholesome activities.
