Tri Club is a children and families healthy lifestyle programme which are aimed at children aged between 7 to 12 years of age and their parents/carers. The programme aims to teach children healthy habits to help aid them to live a healthy lifestyle. Weight is not the sole focus, we wish to see an improvement in the overall health and wellbeing of the child and their families.
This course is for 6 weeks, each session consists of 45 minutes of physical activity and 45 minutes of theory. Whilst the children are carrying out physical activity during the first 45 minutes, we shall be discussing healthy lifestyle topics with the families until the children are finished and ready for the theory segment. The topics covered in the sessions include SMART goals and barriers to change, Nutrition, Sleep, Oral health, The consequences of poor lifestyle choices, Portions sizes, fussy eating, motivation, confidence and self-esteem. If the child completes 85% of the session, they will receive a free 3-month gym membership at one of the following leisure centres (Hoo, Cozenton Park, Strood and Medway Park). If it is regularly used it will be extended for another 3 months up the period of one year. The children will also receive physical activity gifts for example fitness trackers.
