Are you looking to get your kids more active? Family exercise classes are a great way to instil a love of exercise, bond over shared experiences and tackle new challenges together. However, it’s not easy to find classes that adults and children can do together – until now.
At David Lloyd Clubs, we’re introducing Rebels: family-friendly versions of our much-loved Signature series of fitness classes. They’re designed for parents and children aged 8-13 to work out together – and have plenty of fun doing so!
So which class is right for you and your family?
If your child has energy to burn, try Rebels BLAZE and Rebels IGN1TE
Just like the adult versions, Rebels BLAZE and IGN1TE are HIIT sessions that combine cardio and strength training, but in a specially designed child-friendly way. Children can enjoy the benefits of HIIT in a lot of the same ways that adults can, from improved cardiovascular health to greater strength and stamina,
Delivered by an expert trainers, these Rebels classes incorporate lighter dumbbells and bags to ensure kids feel challenged but are still able to complete the circuits. Our specially-selected playlists will give you plenty of motivation, and at 35 minutes from start to finish, each class proves that you don’t need to dedicate hours of your day to working out to feel the full benefit. HIIT is known for being an effective way to work up a sweat — and quality time spent with the family is always a bonus.
If your child loves the outdoors, try Rebels Battlebox

There’s nothing quite like working out in the great outdoors. Our regular Battlebox sessions take place in specially designed areas, packed with plenty of kit for a full-body workout. This is circuit training at its best – and now kids can get involved with our Rebels Battlebox sessions.
You’ll start with a warm-up, followed by a series of movements that’ll test your fitness and your teamwork, from pushing sleds to climbing ropes.
If your child needs to find balance, try Rebels SPIRIT

Our SPIRIT classes are a magical blend of yoga, Pilates and meditation. Yes, there’s relaxation involved, but you’ll certainly get a workout too – the yoga and Pilates elements will help build strength and flexibility.
Rebels SPIRIT is an adapted version that’s suitable for children and adults alike. The whole family will improve balance and posture, as well as taking time out from the world with a blissful sound meditation section.
