A passionate fitness coach is making it his mission to inspire youngsters to create healthy habits and spend less time on their screens.<\/p>\n

Having been interested in athletics from the age of 13, David Bush of Spalding<\/a>, hopes his training classes can open the doors to new opportunities, for those who may not have access to them.<\/p>\n

Targeting rural areas such as Cowbit and Weston Hills, the group sessions provide a fun and educational setting for youngsters to burn off energy and meet new people.<\/p>\n

David said: \u201cPeople had told me there wasn\u2019t anything in terms of fitness for kids in the area, and encouraged me to start something up.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was 13, my mum signed me up for training at The Castle Sports Complex<\/a> and I never looked back. Unfortunately, they don\u2019t do anything like that anymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is nothing around Spalding or the surrounding villages for young people and that\u2019s why I wanted to create something for them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think everyone was scared to start something post covid, but with the support of other people, I decided I needed to be that person to help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nearly two years on from starting Wild Bush Fitness, David has received a positive response from parents \u2013 who have been keen to sign their kids up to the classes, to stop them staying on their screens all day.<\/p>\n

He hopes to pass on some of his own skills and experience from competing and coaching at Peterborough and Nene Valley Athletics Club, and also feels passionate to encourage healthy habits such as regular exercise and having a balanced diet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first started advertising, parents would get in touch with me to sign their kids up because they\u2019d had enough of seeing them on their phones and Xbox\u2019s all the time,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was fortunate that my parents took me to training when I was younger, but not everyone has that opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the kids who attend the groups are from the villages which is something I wanted to prioritise. I wanted to make sure they were easy, accessible and affordable.<\/p>\n

\"YoungstersYoungsters look forward to the classes PHOTO: Submitted<\/p>\n

\u201cI try and encourage healthy habits like nutritional tips and encouraging the kids to do activities at home and not just at my group classes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the positive feedback from youngsters and parents, David, who runs the classes alongside his full time managerial role at Bakkavor, hopes to expand the weekly sessions to other areas.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe positive feedback makes you feel good about yourself and to hear children say they look forward to coming is rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n
