adding a Rec pit to your gym
Foam pits are a great draw for kids.
But they are dirty, smelly and problematic.
Some clubs only rarely allow Rec kids into the competitive pit, for safety reasons.
Solution?
Consider adding a Rounders™ Modular Pit System ($4000)Filled with our world famous Covered Rounders™, the pit system is made with a 100% foam core that will not break down, delaminate, or soften over time and a 21oz knife coated vinyl with built-in bacterial inhibitor.
The UCS exclusive vinyl is Phthalate Free and Fire Retardant complying with CA Bulliten-117. As in all UCS gymnastics equipment, the included mats and 4 walls are sewn with 207 high tenacity thread providing years of rugged use. The pit is meant for recreational and pre-school use only. This product is not suitable for competition, training or action sports activities.
This Pit is Rec only.
Big kids not allowed.
Today I jumped into a Rounders pit for the first time. And was impressed. -

Gymnastics bring a friend week
The most effective way to increase membership, in my experience.
Insurance coverage is the only issue.

Kids’ obesity rate climbing
Canada:
In the last 25 years, the obesity rate among children and youth has nearly tripled. As many as 26 per cent of kids between two and 17 years are now overweight or obese. That number jumps to 41 per cent among First Nations children. …
Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, ParticipACTION, Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute, Healthy Active Living and Obesity Research Group (CHEO-HALO) are all supporting some new guidelines:
… urge parents of kids aged one to four to get their kids moving for 180 minutes, or three hours, a day. That doesn’t have to mean calisthenics; it could simply mean allowing children to play, crawl or walk – as long as it gets them moving.
By age five, kids should be spending at least 60 minutes, or an hour, a day in “energetic” play, meaning running, jumping around and active playing. …
We’ve got children younger than 18 months in my gym. What about yours?
