Intergenerational Holiday Fitness in Vic
Eleven YMCA gyms in Victoria are holding joint grandparent and gandkid
workouts over the easter holidays.
The idea grew out of drops in attendance at over 55s gym classes during the school holidays. Organizers discovered that this was because many grandparents had to care for grandchildren over the holidays while parents worked. One in five children are regularly cared for by their grandparents according to ABS statistics.
The YMCA has responded by offering joint classes during the holiday
break in some of the gyms they run around Victoria.
