The cost of obesity induced health
problems for future generations:
Endless.
Teaching our children the benefits of a
lifetime of health and nutrition:
Priceless.

Is there a solution? Yes! Kid’s Gloves Fitness! Kid’s Gloves Fitness is an action-based, non-contact fitness program designed by fitness boxing pioneer and Fighting Fitness owner John Spehar.

For boys and girls ages 7-
11, this program plans to put
childhood obesity down for the count!
While there is a definitive boxing
theme to the Kid’s Gloves program,
parents feel safe knowing that this is
merely a vehicle to teach children the
importance of exercise and healthy
eating habits. The focus is on fitness and
making healthy life choices that will
lead to a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Kid’s Gloves Fitness is a work ethic
based system. A 50 minute class is an
action packed affair. After the warm-up,
students start to train like contenders.
Their work-outs include: calisthenics for
strength and fitness, pad work and bag
work for skill and agility, and an in-ring
chat that focuses on leadership and goal
setting. These additional skills will help
transform kids into champions of life.
Kids learn that the harder they work,
the more satisfying the results. This is a
powerful cornerstone to the Kid’s Gloves experience. These skills go far beyond the scope of the program and into their educational and social experiences. Because students work together often, there is special attention paid to self-control and self-discipline that is reinforced in all classes.   All classes are taught by certified USA boxing instructors. But what separates Kid’s Gloves Fitness from other sports and group activities is that while there is a stool in boxing, there isn’t a bench.

Everybody Plays!
