How we keep your child safe in the gym: A behind the scenes look at JuniorGym
Neven Antic • August 20, 2026
Letting your 10–15yearold train in a gym can feel scary.
So here’s exactly how we keep kids safe in
JuniorGym Academy, our kids strength training in Adelaide.
1. Coach to kid ratios and caps
We run:
- Small groups
- Clear caps based on age and level
- Enough coaches to actually watch every set
No 30 kid “chaos” classes.
2. Age Appropriate exercies
3. Clear progression steps
We don’t jump from easy to crazy.
We:
- Use simple progressions
- Only move kids up when they’ve mastered the basics
- Track what they’re doing so we know where they’re at
4. Communication with parents
You’re not left in the dark.
We:
- Explain what we’re working on
- Offer testing/retesting so you can see progress
- Are available to answer questions about safety, growth and sport
5. Culture and expectations
We set standards:
- Shoes tied, no mucking around with equipment
- Listen when coaches talk
- Encourage others
Safety isn’t just the exercises; it’s the environment.
