For parents · ages 12–16
Boys2Men
A coached after-school hour at the gym for kids aged 12 to 16. Learn the bar before the ego.
What it is
Boys2Men is a coached gym hour for school kids aged 12 to 16. They learn to squat, hinge, press and carry — and how to behave in a room full of iron.
A coach is in the session the whole time, and you come in for a tour before your child’s first one.
How we look after them
- A coach is in the session the whole time
- It is a closed session. Your child is not loose on the adult floor
- No DIY key for ages 12–16. They train in Boys2Men, with a coach
- A parent or guardian tours first and agrees before they start
What they work on
- Empty-bar and dumbbell patterns before anything heavy
- The four majors, scaled: squat, deadlift, bench, shoulder press
- Carries, posture and a proper warm-up
- Gym citizenship: weights away, no headphones-and-ego, ask before you spot
Before the first session
- 1. Book a tour. A parent or guardian comes along. It is fifteen minutes, no hard sell.
- 2. Have a look around. See the floor where the session runs and ask us what you like.
- 3. Agree, then they start. Your child joins the Monday to Thursday session once you have agreed.
A good fit if
- Your child is 12 to 16 and new to a barbell, or has only messed around with weights at school
- You want them supervised, not hanging around a gym on their own
- They are happy to be told to slow down and learn it properly
