In addition, teenagers can enroll in fit university small group training sessions designed specifically for youth. These sessions will also be offered at a discounted rate.

Matthew Weaver, owner of the 123 Fit Sacramento, is excited about this outreach to teens. “We understand the key is not just to avoid obesity, but to stay active every day. Everyone who longs to be in better shape needs to develop healthier habits. The sooner these habits are established, the greater the chances they will continue through life. That’s what we hope to give the teens that join us this summer.”
