Kranked Cycle (Ages 9 -13)
Kranked (cycle) is a heart and leg pumping workout designed just for youth. All aspects of indoor cycling from proper bike set up to building endurance and confidence will be taught in a safe environment.

Gloga - Yoga (Ages 8-12)
Get an early start on your yoga practice with Gloga - a youth-oriented yoga class with a fun twist. Youth yogis will be guided through a variety of asanas (poses) while incorporating relaxation and breathwork techniques – all while they glow. Remember to wear bright and comfortable clothes to glow and move in. All levels of experience welcome.

Older youth

Youth strength training YST (Ages 12-15)
We have taken our popular Youth Strength Training course and enhanced it to include more detailed exercise instruction. For optimal benefits, each course should be taken sequentially.

• Youth Strength Training 1
  The original. A certified personal trainer will explain fitness centre rules and etiquette, provide instruction on how to use basic cardio and weight machines, and explain how to apply basic exercise principles. Youth aged 12-15 must complete this course to utilize the fitness centre without parental supervision.
• Youth Strength Training 2
  The fundamentals. A certified personal trainer will teach the fundamental strength training exercises that youth must master to strength train safely and effectively. The session will provide the necessary foundational skill base for youth to progress towards their own personal fitness goals.
• Youth Strength Training 3
  The personalized program. Conducted one-on-one with a certified personal trainer, each youth will complete a goal setting session to outline any injuries, past activity history, and future goals. Based on this information, each youth will receive a personalized 6 week exercise program.

Withdrawal from any program prior to program commencement date will be subject to a non-refundable $10 administration fee per program/ registrant. Once a program has started withdrawals will not be permitted.

If you miss a class, Genesis Place will not offer a make-up class and will not issue a credit. If Genesis Place cancels a single class, a credit for that class will be applied to your account.

Cancellations

If the facility cancels a program, a full reimbursement will be issued.

Genesis Place reserves the right to cancel and/or combine all aquatic and dry land programs (registered and/or drop-in) that have not met minimum enrolment numbers, without notice.
