Youth fitness in Abu Dhabi
RPM Gym in Al Manhal offers coach-supervised fitness training for children and teenagers, arranged with a parent or guardian. Ages and session formats are confirmed on enquiry, so message the team with your child's age and what they would like to do.
Young people benefit from learning to move well early: running, jumping, lifting and carrying with good technique, in a setting that keeps it enjoyable. Good youth training looks very different from adult training, with lighter loads, more coaching and close supervision.
At RPM, youth training is coach-supervised and arranged with a parent or guardian. Formats can include one-to-one coaching, and boxing-style fitness for suitable ages; ask the team which options and age ranges are available now.
This page is general fitness information. RPM Gym does not provide medical treatment. If your child has a medical condition, check with their doctor before they start a new activity.

What good youth coaching looks like.
Technique before load
Children and teenagers learn how to move before any weight is added.
Age-appropriate activities
Sessions are matched to the child's age, size and experience, not copied from adult programmes.
Coach supervision
A coach supervises youth training; children do not train unsupervised on the adult floor.
Guardian involvement
A parent or guardian approves and arranges training, and should know what each session involves.
