Childhood diabetes and obesity have reached an epidemic level in this country. Some of the contributing factors are:

  • Two parents working outside home - less time outside with children
  • Fear of allowing children to go to parks alone
  • Computer games and television seem like safe entertainment for
  • kids because they are at home.
  • Budget cuts in schools - gym classes are usually one of the first to be cut
  • Fast foods convenient for working parents
  • Supersizing-the new trend in America's fast food industry


At the Village Health Co. we believe that whether you are 12 or 85, its never too late or too early to be in the best shape of your life. Most of us will not compete competitively in a sport. However, The Village Health Co. believes there is an athlete in all of us. One on one training is the most effective way to achieve your fitness goals in the shortest amount of time. For children who might be intimidated by competitive sports, exercising with a trainer translates into a teacher - student environment which many children excel in. Children learn to exercise safely, and productively in a small individualized health club. Along with proper nutrition, training can produce amazing results for children who may have had trouble seeing results before.


For the gifted adolescent athlete, training with a sport specific trainer can give your child that competitive edge they need to excel in their chosen sport.
