Youth fitness classes in NYC — strength and conditioning, obstacle and "ninja" courses, running clubs and sport-specific training — are mostly for school-age children and teens, with a smaller set of movement classes for younger kids. Sessions run 45 minutes to an hour in small groups, emphasize bodyweight movement, agility and coordination over lifting, and are coached with an eye on form. Sneakers and athletic clothes are all that's needed; a trial session is standard at most gyms.
