Junior Gym
As part of our junior health & fitness membership, we offer junior gym sessions.
These supervised sessions are a brilliant starting point for any child wishing to get fit and active, especially during mid term break from school.
These sessions are aimed at children aged 11-17 years old and take place on the following days:
Wednesdays 4.15pm-6.15pm
Thursdays 4.15pm-6.15pm
Saturdays 12.15pm-1.15pm
We require all users to complete an induction with a member of the fitness team on their first session.
Adult and Junior Gym
The adult and junior gym sessions at Ballysillan Leisure Centre are a great opportunity for parents and children to spend time together whilst being active.
The junior will now need to book rather than the adult and will be required to undertake an induction before being able to attend.
Children are not permitted to use resistance machines in these sessions.
These sessions run every Monday and Friday from 6-8pm.
Book via the Better UK App.
Parent and Child Yoga
Yoga is not just for adults, it’s a great way to energise children and engage their minds at the same time.
Why not come along on Halloween, 31st October 2023, for our parent and child yoga session taking place at 5.15pm. Book via the Better UK app.
5 benefits of yoga for children
- Boosts children’s self-esteem: Holding poses on their own and seeing their skills improve over time can give children a great sense of achievement and boost their confidence.
- Increases body awareness and mindfulness: Trying out various poses helps children to learn about their bodies and just what they are capable of through movement.
- Develops strength and flexibility: Yoga for children helps strengthen their growing bodies while improving their flexibility, which can reduce chances of injury.
- Concentration and memory are enhanced: One of the top benefits of yoga can be found through the focus required to try different poses. This exercises their memory, which can cross over into other areas of their life.
- Refines balance and coordination: These key elements of yoga promote both mental and physical poise, allowing children to improve their balance and overall dexterity too.
