Program Developed to Make a Difference in youth sports & Fitness
Determined to make a dent in local youth obesity rates, a Brampton fitness professional is launching what he calls the city’s first fitness camp designed exclusively to help children foster a lifelong love of healthy living.
"Childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions with factors such as fast food, computers, TV, video games, all contributing to the problem," said David Kittner, founder of True Youth Sports Brampton Fit Camp.
"Over 50 per cent of our children are overweight and almost 20 per cent are obese. We’re elated to begin offering the True Youth Sports Brampton Fit Camp program to help combat this problem and to introduce kids, ages eight to 13, to a healthy fitness lifestyle in a safe, fun, and non-intimidating format."
A report released by Peel Public Health earlier this year entitled "A Picture of Health" reveals 47 per cent of the Region’s 1.2 million population is overweight or obese.
The report findings also show that many youngsters in Peel struggle with weight as a result of lack of exercise.
With obesity rates among youngsters hitting dangerous levels, Kittner, a fitness expert with more than 15 years of experience, said he felt compelled to do something about it.
This led to the idea of introducing a proper fitness camp for children that strives to instill the importance of being active early on.
"It’s sad to see how many unhealthy kids there are out there," Kittner said. "The vast majority of kids today have sedentary lifestyles even if they’re participating in organized sports activities … so offering this much needed program was a no-brainer."
Kittner said the True Youth Sports Brampton Fit Camp training system has been developed by the world’s leading youth fitness organization, the International Youth Conditioning Association, and will be delivered by certified fitness professionals who will help motivate and inspire the kids to be active and have fun.
"Our programs are designed with safety and fun in mind; if it’s not fun, kids are not going to stick with youth sports," he said.

Without pulling punches or beating around the bush, I’m going to
give you a straight look at something today.
Why you need to become a Youth Fitness Specialist through
the IYCA.
Do yourself a favor and read this entire post – it’s short, succinct
and very much to the point.
But the impact it could have on your career is tremendous.
Reason # 1 – Belong to Something Bigger
As a Fitness Professional and Coach, your career is very much an
isolated one.
Yes you have your clients and certainly you have some colleagues,
but what kind of professional support and daily inspiration do you
have?
The hours can be very long and the pay often insignificant.
What keeps you going and motivated?
Taking on yet another client who wants to drop a ‘few pounds’ or
look ‘better in a bathing suit’ just can’t stimulate you forever.
That’s one of the primary reasons this industry has such a high
turn over rate – Fitness Professionals either burnout quickly or
end up losing motivation all together and opt of move on.
Imagine instead feeling like this everyday –
"I am honored to be a part of such an AWESOME organization!
To walk into the Summit and to be in the room with over 200 like
minded, passionate individuals who care about youth fitness is
beyond words. The IYCA is a global family and one I am proud to
be a part of. I cherish each and every family member that I met
and look forward to learning and sharing from all in our family"
** Written by IYCA Member Lisa Aguilera after attending our recent
International Summit.

<body><h1>Youth Fitness and how it could be your future.
</h1>Have you ever been to a standard fitness or sport training conference?
If so, you likely walked away with some good information.
And while that’s great, I always say that the fitness and sport training industry is moving from the age of INFORMATION to the age of INSPIRATION.
You can get INFORMATION anywhere… Including while attending conferences.
But how often do you walk away INSPIRED to take immediate action on what you just saw and heard?
More over, have you EVER walked away saying stuff like this…
Those video clips were taken at the last conference the IYCA <span style=”font-weight: bold;”>Youth Fitness </span>held right here in Chicago.
“… I consider the event priceless…”
“… One of the best things I have done in my 28 year career…”
Those are great success stories and I am very proud of what we INSPIRED people to do that day.
The IYCA recently presented a seminar in New York City as well.
Check out how unbelievably excited and INSPIRED this fitness professional was…
BUT…
I personally get emotional every time I look or even think about this next video.
It makes me realize that I am truly in the right profession and that so many others share the same passion as I do.
And honestly… I have NEVER seen anything like this before:
We (you and I) are the Future of Youth Fitness my friend.
Sincerely,
Brian</body>
