Turn off the Xbox. Hide the Playstation. Pry the kids off the couch.

Starting February 3rd, there will be more options at the JCC for kids to get active.

There will be five new classes, one each day of the week after school hours, for kids ages five to 10. All the classes are free for JCC Members and will be heald in the Aerobic Studio.

“We wanted to offer more opportunities to keep kids active while parents work out after work,” said Ron Peacock, fitness director.

The classes include yoga, general fitness and introduction to sports class.

Abby Tasman has been attending the Family Fun Fit Class with her husband and three kids after work for the last four weeks. She said she likes the idea of having more class options for her kids.

“We’re all active and we love being active together,” she said.
