Teen Academy is a training workshop for teen members designed to educate and introduce them to correct training methods and gym etiquette.

The workshops are split into 3 sections:

1. 10 minutes covering the training methods involved in the 2nd part of the workshop. Creating an understanding and knowledge base for teens to build a foundation on, to then continue in the future in their own fitness endeavours.
2. 30 minutes of physical training, putting the training methods into action from section 1, with emphasis on form and technique on muscles used.
3. 5 minutes stretch and mobility section, where questions can also be asked, related to the workshop or on general fitness.

There are two classes scheduled a week for both beginners and advanced. These are at 4 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Teens must advance through the Teen Academy Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards before gaining full access to the equipment in the gym. The awards earnt will be posted on their ClubRight Profile once the instructor is happy with their level.

To receive the next Teen Academy Award, the instructor needs to feel comfortable with your knowledge and abilities. You may need to attend additional classes before progressing to the next level.

On successful completion of all classes, you will be awarded the Teen Academy Gold Award!

After that, you will be able to use the gym and classes with confidence.

Please note that ALL Teen Gym and Teen Gym Academy members must complete an induction before using the gym.
