Over the past two decades,
the Center for Disease
Control (CDC) reported that
the rates of childhood obesity
have tripled. So a Little
Neck organization established
a kids-only program
that encourages regular exercise
for local children.
Commonpoint Queens
Sam Field Center unveiled
the new Kidz Fit Gym Exercise
Program on Thursday,
Dec. 12. The program, which
is the only gym in Queens
specifically for children, offers
a range of sports classes

kids ages 5 to 14.
According to Commonpoint
Queens, its Kidz Fit
Gym employs skilled trainers
and coaches who offer individual
and group classes.
All equipment and exercises,
including cardio, strength
training, yoga and other
activities, are designed for
