Modern Recess

For many kids, recess is their favorite time of the day, allowing kids to get exercise, build friendships, and recharge their brain. Modern Recess is San Ramon's newest kids gym designed for children ages 3-12 regardless of their athletic abilities. Our program is not intended to replace sports programs or extracurricular activities but designed to supplement them by helping enhance movement patterns needed for real life actions. Modern Recess recognizes that kids need the opportunity to allow their central nervous system to develop through general physical conditioning. Children aren't just little adults but developmentally have specific needs when it comes to building a foundation for physical activity and sports. Since our modern culture provides many temptations to adopt a sedentary lifestyle, our passion lies in helping kids improve general fitness. Along with structured FUN classes such as speed and agility, hip hop, Spooner boarding, yoga, balance, self-defense, and strength training, Modern Recess puts the FUN in teaching FUNctional movements that are FUNdamental to all things that kids need to do when they play for recreation or sport including running, jumping, kicking, climbing, lifting, pushing, pulling, and throwing and catching. If you couldn't tell, the core emphasis of Modern Recess is FUN! Classes will change on a daily basis and each class will also feature on a nutritional lesson of the day. Modern Recess' mission is to encourage healthy activity, teach health and nutritional knowledge, and to help children instill health and fitness as a way of life.
