It's great that there are gyms being formed to help our future generations stay healthy and active! On the other hand, it's sad that they are not getting enough physical activity in schools today. However, with programs such as this, teenagers are motivated to improve their health using a number of video game inspired workout sessions. These gyms are paid memberships so cost is a factor, making my main concern that kids from low income families may not be able to benefit from these private gyms due to the expense.

“We are all measured by inches, ages, numbers and all the outside things that don’t add up to who we are on the inside. So let your weight loss journey be one of self-acceptance every step of the way. If you are unhappy with yourself fifty pounds heavier you’ll probably feel the same way when you lose the weight. Happiness is not embedded in outward appearances.”
