We understand that things come up! You can reschedule your class up to 30 minutes before the session starts without any cancellation fees.

Each class has up to 10-12 kids, ensuring a great balance of group energy and individual attention.

Our classes maintain a 5-6 kids per trainer ratio to provide proper guidance and supervision.

Yes! Strength training is safe and highly beneficial for kids when done correctly. Our program focuses on proper technique, controlled progression, and age-appropriate exercises to improve strength, coordination, and injury prevention. Studies show that supervised strength training helps kids build confidence and athletic ability while reducing injury risks.

Kids must be at least 10 years old to join the program.

Girls are absolutely welcome and encouraged to join! While more boys tend to sign up initially, about 20–30% of our participants are girls — and they get just as much out of it. 

Strength, confidence, and body awareness are important for everyone, and we love seeing girls thrive in the program.

That’s completely fine! Our program is designed for all experience levels. The Academy Core\Plus programs all start with an initial assessment to ensure each child learns the correct technique and progresses safely.

Please bring a water bottle, comfortable gym clothes, and sports shoes. All equipment is provided at the gym.

Each session runs for 50-60 minutes, depending on the training focus for the day.

We focus on age-appropriate strength training, speed drills, agility work, and movement fundamentals. Exercises include bodyweight movements, light weights and sled work, all performed with proper technique and supervision.

No, kids do not develop bulky muscles like adults. Instead, strength training helps improve coordination, power, endurance, and injury prevention, making them stronger and more confident athletes.

No, parents do not need to stay. However, you are welcome to watch from the sidelines if you’d like.

Every child in JuniorGym Academy is placed into one of four band levels: White, Yellow, Green or Black. At their first session we do a simple assessment of four key areas: movement quality, strength, explosive ability, and consistency/effort. Based on this, we choose the right starting band. As they use their Academy sessions, we coach and track them against those same four pillars. After a period of consistent training (usually once they are close to the end of their 12 or 20 sessions) we re-test and, if they meet the standards for the next level, they earn a new sweatband in class and we update your parent report.

We back JuniorGym Academy with a visible progress or next program free guarantee. If your child attends the majority of their booked Academy sessions over their program and does not show visible progress in at least two of the four key areas we track (movement quality, strength, explosive ability, consistency and effort), you can choose either a free set of Academy sessions at the same level (Core or Plus) or a full refund of your program fee. In simple terms: if they show up and train consistently but do not improve, we will make it right.

JuniorGym Academy is our structured progression program. It includes an initial assessment, band level placement, a set number of flexible sessions (Core or Plus), progress re-testing, parent reports and the visible progress guarantee. You can book any JuniorGym Academy times that suit your week, rather than being locked into one fixed slot.

Our JuniorGym Group Classes are more casual supervised sessions. They are great if you just want your child to move more or try things out, but they do not include the assessment, band pathway, progress reports or guarantee that come with the Academy.
