Manhattan's #1 In-Home Personal Training for Kids & Teens

We specialize in youth fitness for ages 5-19. Our trainers are experts in age-appropriate training methods, understanding the physical and emotional development of children and teens.

We tailor every program to your child's specific age, abilities, and maturity level. Whether your child is just starting their fitness journey or training for competitive sports, our certified trainers create customized programs that are safe, effective, and engaging for their developmental stage.

Absolutely! When done correctly with proper supervision and age-appropriate methods, strength training is safe and beneficial for kids. Our trainers are certified in youth fitness and follow evidence-based guidelines from organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics.

We focus on bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, and light weights with perfect form—never heavy lifting. Our approach builds strength, coordination, and confidence while preventing injuries. Each exercise is carefully selected based on your child's age, physical maturity, and skill level to ensure safe progression.

Very quickly! Complete our online questionnaire (takes just 2 minutes), and we'll match you with a certified trainer within 2 hours. Most Manhattan families start their first session within 24-48 hours of completing the questionnaire.

We understand busy Manhattan schedules and make the process as fast and convenient as possible. Our trainers have flexible availability including early mornings, after school, evenings, and weekends. Once matched, you'll coordinate directly with your trainer to schedule sessions that work for your family's calendar.

That's exactly who we specialize in helping! Our trainers are experts at working with reluctant kids, building confidence gradually, and making fitness fun and engaging. We start where your child is comfortable and progress at their pace.

Many of our most successful clients started with zero interest in fitness. Our trainers know how to spark motivation through games, challenges, and positive reinforcement. We focus on building small wins that create confidence and momentum. Before long, kids who once resisted exercise are asking when their next session is scheduled.

Every trainer goes through our rigorous vetting process: comprehensive background checks, reference verification, certification validation (youth fitness specialist certifications required), and personal interviews with our owner Nathaniel Oliver. We also provide ongoing training and professional development.

All trainers carry $2 million liability insurance and maintain current CPR/AED certifications. We only work with trainers who specialize in youth fitness—not just general personal trainers. Your child's safety and positive experience are our top priorities, which is why we maintain the highest vetting standards in the industry.

After your starter package, most families continue with our flexible session packages ranging from $115-$125 per session depending on session duration and frequency. We offer multiple package sizes to fit your family's needs and budget.

There are no long-term contracts required. You can pause, adjust your frequency, or change packages at any time. Many Manhattan families train 1-3 times per week depending on their child's goals, sport season, and schedule. Your trainer will work with you to create a sustainable plan that fits your lifestyle.

Yes! Many of our trainers have extensive experience working with children who have ADHD, autism spectrum differences, sensory processing challenges, anxiety, and other learning differences. We understand that every child is unique and requires a personalized approach.

When you complete our intake questionnaire, just mention any specific needs, diagnoses, or considerations, and we'll carefully match you with a trainer who has direct experience in that area. Our trainers are skilled at creating structured, predictable, and engaging sessions that work with your child's strengths and help them thrive.

For children under 13, we require a parent, guardian, or trusted adult (such as a nanny or family member) to be present in the home during sessions. You don't need to be in the room — the trainer can work with your child while you handle other tasks — but an adult must be in the residence.

For teens 13 and older, you have the flexibility to leave the home during sessions if you're comfortable doing so. This is part of our child safety policy and aligns with industry best practices for in-home youth training. Many Manhattan parents use session time productively while their child trains in another room.

No equipment needed! Your trainer brings all necessary equipment to every session, including resistance bands, agility ladders, cones, light dumbbells, foam rollers, and any sport-specific gear required for your child's program.

All you need is a small open space — a living room, bedroom, hallway, or even a building gym works perfectly. Manhattan apartments work great for our training style. If you have a backyard, terrace, or access to a building gym, that's a bonus but not required.

We understand Manhattan life can be unpredictable. Sessions can be rescheduled with at least 24 hours notice at no charge. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice may be charged for the session, though our trainers do their best to accommodate genuine emergencies.

For ongoing packages, sessions don't expire as long as you remain an active client. If your child gets sick, has a school conflict, or you go on vacation, just let your trainer know and we'll reschedule. Our goal is flexibility that works with your family's real life.

Absolutely! Many of our trainers specialize in sport-specific conditioning for basketball, soccer, baseball, tennis, lacrosse, swimming, track & field, gymnastics, dance, and more. We design programs that improve the specific skills, strength, and conditioning your child needs to excel in their sport.

Whether your child is making a school team, competing at the club level, or training for college recruitment, we can create a customized program that complements their team practices and gives them a competitive edge. Just let us know your child's sport during the matching process.

We stand behind our matching with our "Perfect Match" Guarantee. If your child doesn't click with their trainer after the first session, we'll rematch you with a different trainer at no additional cost — or refund your starter package in full. No questions asked.

Personality fit is just as important as qualifications when it comes to youth training. Our matching process considers your child's personality, interests, learning style, and goals — but sometimes the chemistry isn't right, and that's okay. Your satisfaction and your child's positive experience are our top priorities.
