Question 3

Accepted Answer

Question 4

How do I get in touch with you?

Accepted Answer

You can reach us at any time at 270-287-2673, by emailing gritstrength@outlook.com, or by messaging Grit Strength Fitness on Facebook!

Question 5

What do I need to bring for my child to attend class? What should they wear?

Accepted Answer

All kids are required to wear shoes that tie (no crocks, sandals, flip flops or boots.) Ensure they have a water bottle and any additional items they need such as an inhaler. They should be in comfortable clothing that allows them to stretch and bend. If your child requires additional attention or has restrictions, please let us know.

Question 6

Do I need to stay during classes or training?

Accepted Answer

No! You do have that option if you choose but, from past experience and speaking with parents, the kids work better without the parental distraction. It also allows them to open up more with other kids during breaks rather than sitting with the parent.

Question 7

Does my child need to become a member of Rocky Hollow to join the classes?

Accepted Answer

Technically no, but it is STRONGLY SUGGESTED! Depending on class size or activities we do that day, we may want to take them to the walking track or the basketball court. They do not need a membership if we are only staying in the class but I very much forecast we will be leaving the class at some point soon. They do require a membership if they go anywhere else in the center such as weight room, walking track, and basketball court.

Question 8

How much is a membership at Rocky Hollow?

Accepted Answer

Just $25 per year!! YES, per YEAR! It is strongly suggested for your child to be a member so they can enjoy everything this class has to offer. It is highly beneficial for you, the parents to get a membership also! While your child is in class/training, you can utilize other areas of the center!

Question 9

Will lifting weights stunt my child's growth?

Accepted Answer

Not. At. All. This is a commonly circulated myth from years ago. Weightlifting is great for any age as long as it's done safely in a supervised environment. When children lift weights, they build stronger muscles, stronger bones, helps prevent injuries, creates better motor skills, and helps with weight management. All these together also help build a stronger confidence level, positive body image, and improved focus!

Question 10

My child is not athletic. Will they fit in?

Accepted Answer

100% yes! At Grit Strength Fitness, we prioritize a safe and effective teaching method that builds their confidence. We strictly monitor exercise form and correct it as needed. The program focuses on fun, confidence, and personal improvement. This is not a bodybuilding program. We aren't interested in seeing how much an 8yr old can squat or deadlift. We are interested in building healthy habits. At no point will the kids be in a lifting competition against each other.

Question 11

What if my child can't do a certain exercise like jog or do pushups?

Accepted Answer

If we see a child struggling in any aspect, we work with them to modify the exercise so they can still participate.

Question 12

What if my child has asthma, ADHD, or medical condition?

Accepted Answer

Speak with us prior to joining class. We have worked with kids with these types of conditions and they did great! We will work around any restrictions they may have.

Question 13

We live out of the Somerset city limits. Can my child still join?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! It doesn't matter where you live!
