LOS ANGELES (March 29 2016) – My Gym Children’s Fitness Center has partnered with Hedstrom Fitness, the worldwide licensed manufacturer and distributor of BOSU® products, for a promotional program that will see its acclaimed children’s exercise equipment, the BOSU® Sport for Kids, integrated into My Gym’s curriculum. The program will begin in My Gym locations across select U.S. markets in March 2016.

Invented by David Weck, the BOSU® Balance Trainer debuted in 2000 and quickly became one of the most successful fitness training products in the world. The BOSU® Sport for Kids is specially designed for young children’s unique physical needs. Smaller in size and available in bright colors, the BOSU® Sport for Kids teaches kids the fundamentals of balance and sensory exercise, while strengthening the heart, lungs and muscles.

The BOSU® Sport for Kids will be utilized by My Gym’s expert trainers and introduced to students ages 4 and up.

The BOSU® /My Gym Children’s Fitness Center brand partnership was brokered by Mary M. Mueller, Head of Global Alliances for My Gym and Suzanne Faber, President of Blue Sky Concepts, on behalf of BOSU.®

“We’re thrilled that BOSU® is joining with My Gym to bring its unique approach to health and exercise to our students,” said Mueller. “We believe in providing our families with the best programs and equipment available and BOSU® has revolutionized the fitness world with its unparalleled philosophy.”

This unique partnership takes the BOSU Sport to the next level. We’re excited to be able to play a part in helping youth to build skills and healthy habits that will last a lifetime, said Nate Logan, Director of Business Development at Hedstrom Fitness.
