“When I came to CATZ I had a very aggressive goal in order to make weight for my football team and be healthier for every day. Michelle helped me by giving me healthy food choices that were easy to follow, and checking my weight each week to make sure it was working. The work outs were fun and we played games, I could feel myself getting stronger and faster. I plan to go to CATZ even when it is not football season – its so much fun! Thank you for helping me reach my goal.”
- Matthew, age 8

Remember when you were a kid? You couldn’t wait to get home from school so you could go outside and play. Stickball, hide and seek, monkey in the middle, touch football, etc. You ran and jumped and climbed and moved, sometimes for hours at a time. You didn’t think of it as exercise, you thought of it as fun.
Our kids today live in a very different world. A world of hand-held electronic games, laptop computers and big-screen TVs. A world of sitting around being passively entertained. A world where too much inactivity has resulted in alarming increases in childhood obesity and diabetes. A world that is stealing our youth.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can help ensure that your kids have a bright, healthy future. And the Sports FUNdamentals or Youth Fitness training programs at CATZ of Long Island can help them get there.
PROGRAMS AVAILABLE:
SPORTS FUNDAMENTALS (ages 7-9)
The CATZ Sports FUNdamentals program is a fun, engaging and cooperation-based program designed to improve cardiovascular fitness, general flexibility/mobility and overall strength of its participants. Kids will learn how to properly warm-up and stretch their bodies to prepare for exercise. They will then participate in a variety of fun, task-oriented drills that encourage them to enjoy exercise, while at the same time they work up a big sweat and get a terrific age-appropriate workout.
YOUTH FITNESS (ages 10-15)
An advanced general fitness program designed for kids who want to be active, healthy and physically fit. CATZ YOUTH FITNESS is designed for kids NOT active in competitive sports and requires no athletic ability or sports background. A fun and engaging way to get kids exercising and off the couch, and help them build a foundation to make exercise a part of their regular weekly routine for a lifetime.
HOW WE DO IT:
- All of our kid/youth classes motivate children to embrace a healthy lifestyle
- Encouraging, supportive & fun environment that promotes positive reinforcement
- Program will enhance coordination, movement patterns & fitness using task oriented drills & games

- significantly improve their fitness levels
- provide a foundation for a lifetime of physical activity
and good health
“Today about 25 million kids in the U.S.
ages 2-19 are either overweight or at
risk of quickly becoming overweight. That is 1 out of every 3 kids in the country,
with overweight kids more likely to quickly become overweight adults.”
