10 questions Adelaide parents should ask any gym before sending their child

Letting your 10–15-year-old train in a gym is a big deal.

Here are 10 questions you should ask any facility (including us) offering kids strength training in Adelaide:

• How many kids per coach in each session?
• Do you assess my child before they join a group?
• How do you decide what exercises they're allowed to do?
• How do you keep track of what they're lifting?
• How do you handle injuries or pain mid-session?
• What qualifications and experience do your coaches have with kids?
• How do you communicate progress back to parents?
• How do you handle behaviour or safety issues?
• What happens if my child misses sessions?
• Is there a clear pathway after this program?

If a junior gym in Adelaide can't answer these clearly, be careful.
