LITTLE GIANTS

I have never been overweight; quite the opposite in retrospect. However, being small statured did not allow me to escape the epidemic of obesity and how it can plague the lives of many. As an avid gym-goer for the past seventeen years, my goal has been to remain physically active, strong and fit. This way of life is one that I would encourage anyone to partake in, but doing so was not an option for a particular family member. My younger cousin was diagnosed with obesity as a child. The end result is that he was unable to play any youth sports, due to weight restrictions. I can also attest to the negative impact the rejection has had on his self-esteem. I became more frustrated as he was too young to be permitted into mine or any fitness club to strive for healthy weight loss; and having gym class one day per week was not conducive. Then attending several of my daughter’s school functions, the realization that too many of our youth are struggling to become more active, healthy and to lose weight became very evident. Over the past eight years, I have committed myself to making this notion become a reality for myself and our children. I saw no better way to invest into our younger generations; our youth being the direct lifeline to the future conditions of our neighborhoods, counties, cities, states and country. Thus, through extreme diligence, the vision of Little Giants has become tangible. One in three American children are obese and no other business is offering an all-access facility where children can receive an exercise, fitness and wellness program based upon their individual needs and assessments.  Welcome to Little Giants!
