My Gym combines innovative, early physical education/pre-gymnastics classes with state-of-the-art facilities to empower children ages 6 weeks through 10 years by helping them acquire the skills, confidence, and positive self-image needed to become healthy young adults. My Gym’s award-winning, structured, noncompetitive and age-appropriate classes and birthday parties enhance children’s overall development through games, music, exercise, sports, gymnastics, puppets, unique rides, and fun. The children gain strength, balance, coordination, fine and gross motor proficiency, agility, flexibility, and social skills. In 2012, My Gym launched their new interactive Building Blocks Program to all enrolled children ages 2.5 years and older. The program helps children work toward specific milestones in their physical, cognitive, and emotional development and then celebrates their achievements with stickers, progression ribbons, medals, trophies, graduation certificates and more in periodic Building Blocks Acknowledgment Ceremonies. The My Gym television show, "My Gym At Home," airs on BabyFirst, a 24/7 channel focusing on children’s development. The company was first formed in 1983 by Yakov and Susi Sherman, who opened the gym in order to promote children’s health and fitness while also promoting social skills. My Gym commonly features elements such as zip-lines and various exercise related classes. In fall of 2008 the company won a ''Parent’s Choice'' award for their DVD ''My Gym at Home, Fun With Monique''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.parents-choice.org/product.cfm?product_id=24929&StepNum=1. )〕 ''My Gym'' also funds the children's entertainment group ''The Activators'', which formed a partnership with The President's Challenge in 2011. ==My Gym Challenged America Foundation== MGCA is a nonprofit organization that is affiliated with My Gym Children’s Fitness Center. The My Gym Challenged America Foundation (MGCA) is committed to providing assistance and support to children with physical/cognitive challenges while promoting fitness and movement for children of all abilities and economic circumstances with an emphasis on positive reinforcement and fun. The goal of the My Gym Challenged America Foundation is to transform our culture by providing programs and services that enhance the quality of life and improve the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development of children who are "at risk" and those who are physically or developmentally challenged. Its mission is to help these children acquire the confidence, self-esteem, and sense of well-being they need to lead healthy, productive, and rewarding lives. This, in turn, helps to break the cycles of violence, intolerance, and poverty. Additionally, our programs involving children with disabilities promote understanding, cooperation, and compassion. The organization is committed to nurturing children, treating them with dignity and positive reinforcement, maintaining a loving and supportive atmosphere, and helping youngsters develop a sense of accomplishment. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「My Gym Children's Fitness Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
