A fitness class in Ridley Park has a special focus on kids and their moms, reports xxxx for 6abc.com.

Kerri Ricker with Empower Training in Ridley Park is running a Mom and Kid Workout Class with Empower Training in Ridley Park.

These mobile, outdoor workouts are an indoor fitness class alternative during the pandemic and include kids in the action.  

There are two groups. Moms are taken through a circuit workout by Ricker. Another trainer works on physical activities with the kids.

“Having the option of working out together, not only set a good example for (my son) to see me working out and having fun, but giving him the option to work out, too, and now he loves coming here,” Missy Friel of Milmont Park, said.

When the pandemic shut everything down, kids were stuck inside just playing video games.  That give Ricker an idea.

“It’s just to show how important exercise is physically, and I think we saw in the last year also how important it is for our mental health, as well,” Ricker said.

The class is mostly moms, but aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews join in, too.
