Milton Expands its Summer Fitness Programs

Need to get fit? Milton's Recreation Department has a plan for you. After six months, hundreds of pounds and inches lost, and dozens of happy participants, the City of Milton/CorePhysique fitness camp is proud to announce it is expanding its services.

This summer, there will be two sessions of the fitness camp. The first will be from June 6 to July 1. The second will stretch from July 11 to Aug. 6.

Three morning classes are offered on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays: 

• 5:45 to 6:30 a.m.
• 7:15 to 8 a.m.
• 8:30 to 9:15 a.m.

This summer, though, there are three new classes available: Smart Core, evening sessions and kids camps, according to a news release from the city.

Smart Core will take place from 8:05 to 8:25 a.m. and can be attended by either those who stay after the 7:15 a.m. session or come early to the 8:30 a.m. session. It will focus on core muscles to help improve posture and balance, prevent back pain and injury, and increase overall physical performance.

Evening sessions take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:15 to 8 p.m. Like the morning version, each includes a warm-up and workout that combines strength, cardiovascular endurance and flexibility exercises.

Kids Camp will be held during the 8:30 to 9:15 a.m. session on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for elementary school-aged children. Parents must be attending one of the sessions and class size is limited to 25 campers.

Kids Camp will be coached by Nadine Kezebou, a former professional soccer player in France, Germany and the United States. She is the head boys' soccer coach at St. Francis High School, an assistant coach/trainer at Ambush Soccer Club and a speed and agility trainer at Fellowship Christian High School.
With the new sessions comes new pricing and attendance options for campers:  

• Two days/week (eight classes): $90 resident/$135 non-resident
• Three days/week (12 classes): $120/$180 non-resident
• Five days/week (20 classes): $175/$262.50 non-resident
• Smart Core: $30 resident/$45 non-resident
• Kids Camp: $45 for the first child/$15 each additional child

Please note that camp packages are flexible and may be redeemed at any session offered throughout the month.

All camps are held at, 15245 Bell Park Road. They are taught by Kolleen Riddick, a National Academy of Sports Medicine certified personal trainer and corrective exercise specialist.
