Start making family fitness a priority! Family Active combines fitness, outdoor exercise and quality family time: An effective workout (Marbella and Mijas at the beach) for the whole family!


Family Active aims at supporting you and your kids to get moving (again) and to really get fit. Our trainers ensure that you and your children achieve the best possible training results in a safe, varied and healthy way, while having lots of fun and doing something together for your health and fitness.

Also, you can also get in touch with other parents with children of the same
age, make new contacts and exchange ideas about family issues.
Whether the parents want to achieve a pain-free back, a flat belly or get rid of unloved pounds, or the kids just want to get moving and have fun trying
things out and taking on a challenge - Family Active combines it all. The workout is adjusted to the individual
capacity and needs of the exercising parents and their children (depending on
the age group).
There are different training and class formats for children in all age groups from 0-18 years.

What can I expect of a typical Family Active training session?

The Family Active training sessions are an effective combination of strengthening, coordination, endurance and flexibility training. To ensure that the children also have a lot of fun, Family Active integrates small challenges, circuits, obstacle courses, games and music into the training (adapted to the age group).

The session basically consists of six elements:
1. Warming up and mobilization
2. Cardio, Buttocks & Legs
3. Circuit-training: Full body workout (TRX, bodyweight and small material)
4. Mat training & Pilates: Strengthening Core & Back muscles (TRX, bodyweight and small material)
5. Cool-down and stretching
6. Coffee time ;)

The beginning of the class is used for effective cardio movements like Lunge walking, running or active movements that bring the pulse up. Kids love fun, new movements and are happy to imitate their parents.

This is followed by a full-body strength-circuit workout with a special focus on building lean and strong musculature, burning lots of calories and strengthening the abdominal muscles.

Many of the strengthening exercises, especially the exercises with the TRX or sling trainer are whole-body exercises and improve inter- and
intramuscular coordination, sense of balance and flexibility. They also strengthen the pelvic floor, which is especially important for young mothers
after giving birth.
The core elements of each training session are circuits with different materials (depending on the age
group of the children) and the incorporation of the sling trainer, which is one of the best training materials to build and strengthen the core muscles in a very effective way!

The advantages of Family Active training are:

A regular exercise programme is a simple solution that pays off for a lifetime - for children and adults!
Regular active workouts as a family, fun beach runs and hikes will show your children that exercise can be fun and make them fitter, healthier and happier adults in the long run.

Regular exercise for kids (but also for adults) helps to strengthen bones,
● aids against obesity and the consequences of “lockdown” and "sitting disease" and
● leads to improved cardiovascular health and improved motor skills into adulthood.
● Active children learn more easily and can concentrate better (Kid’s brain growth is positively promoted due to exercise)
● Less susceptibility to diseases and a strong immune system

For the parents:
● Intensive strengthening of the abdominal, back and core muscles for a healthy and upright posture.
● Strengthening and stretching the chest muscles against tension
● Strengthening and stretching of the shoulder girdle muscles, to relieve and prevent tensions and blockages.
● Endurance and strengthening of the leg and buttock muscles
● Body weight reduction
● Strengthening the pelvic floor and building up the pelvic
musculature to balance the body back into a healthy posture.
● Reduction of pregnancy-related problems
● Training the sense of balance
● Improving inter- and intramuscular coordination
● Improving flexibility and mobility
● Improving endurance and strengthening the pelvic floor
● Mental relaxation
What distinguishes Family Active training sessions from other training offers for parents and children?

No separation:
parents and children ALWAYS train together, i.e. you can only participate in a Family Active class together with one or more of your children! Because Family Active wants to promote a sense of community within the family and the joy of exercise.

Always 2 trainers in every session:
There are always two qualified trainers present, one trainer guides the adults during the training while the second trainer exclusively takes care of the children, guides them, keeps an eye on them and encourages them to move and try things out.

Personal contact:
The trainers respond individually to the participants and children present in the training, correct the execution of the exercises, guide the exercises professionally and are there with advice and support.

"Real" training with great results for both kids and parents: Each training is led by experienced fitness trainers with many years of experience in personal training and group training especially for parents and children.

Network: Great opportunity to meet other parents and like-minded people
