U.K. gym hopes "kidulting" trend will hook grownups by putting the fun back in fitness
"The kidulting fitness class is all about channeling your inner child, and the atmosphere is fun, even silly. At David Lloyd Clubs in the U.K., members can relive their younger years with the classes built around playground and PE class games - an effort to take the "work" out of the workouts."
"The classes bring back a range of childhood favorites - games most people haven't played since elementary school. After racing back and forth across the fabric, it was time for a quick round of "popcorn," with the grownups huffing and puffing to keep colorful balls bouncing around on the parachute."
"It's the joy of being a kid, as an adult. Class member Sophie Doe told CBS News her heart was pounding. She particularly enjoyed the parachute, and said she hadn't played some of the games since she was seven or eight."
David Lloyd Clubs has introduced kidulting fitness classes designed to make exercise feel like play rather than work. These classes incorporate childhood games such as stuck in the mud, wheelbarrow races, and parachute activities that participants haven't played since elementary school. Trainer Rachel Dennis leads sessions where adults channel their inner child while maintaining elevated heart rates through fast-paced, game-based activities. Class members report enjoying the nostalgic experience and the joy of reliving childhood play as adults. The approach aims to remove the stigma of traditional workouts by combining physical activity with fun, silly, and engaging gameplay that keeps participants motivated and entertained.
