There is a 12-week curriculum for each of three age groups: FITNESS
SQUAD, 6-9; FITNESS MASTERS, 10-14; and FITNESS ALL-STARS, 15-18.
Weekly sessions cover every aspect of fitness, drawing upon themes
of sports culture and history, self-esteem, nutrition and physical
fitness. The annual FITNESS AUTHORITY Club-Wide Pentathlon competition
allows Club members of all ages to demonstrate and test their fitness
levels.
