New Sudbury Family Fitness Club Offering Fall Special

(CORRECTION: The open house is on Sept. 7.)

H2K, or Happy Healthy Kids Fitness Studio, opened three short months ago in Sudbury but already has made a positive impact.

Julia Walderzak, owner and creator of H2K, is collaborating with Sudbury Park and Recreation to start two adaptive programs for kids with special needs while preparing to start a fall program for kids and parents set to begin the second week of September.

"People are now just starting to find out about us and we’ve been here for three months. But it’s (been through) a lot of word of mouth which I’m surprised about," Walderzak says. "When we are getting calls it’s been really good feedback. We’ve been getting positive feedback and people seem to be very supportive of it." 

Families looking to join Sudbury's newest fitness club can take advantage of a 15 percent discount if they sign up before Aug. 15.

H2K offers:

• Zumbatomic: combines fast and slow rythems for children ages 4-7 yrs using an aerobic/fitness approach;

• Yogi Tots for ages 3-5 years: introduces children to yoga through games, music and storytelling. Yoga postures, movement and simple breathing exercises are integrated into each 45-minute session;
• Young Yogis for ages 6-9: a fun & energetic yoga class created specifically for this age group;
  
• Yogis grades for ages 6-8: a fun and energetic yoga class, tailored for the Middle School student;
  
• Teen Yoga: a challenging yet playful class for high school students. In a non-judgmental environment the teenager learns to appreciate their own body as it becomes more flexible and stronger;
• Kids Cardio Kickboxing: will teach your child self defense, self confidence and discipline in a fun and safe environment;
  
• H2K Theatre Movement: a unique class for children who are interested or already have experience in acting and theatre;
  
• Zumbatomic: combines fast and slow rhythms for children ages 8-12 years old using an aerobic/fitness approach.
  

"The community is really starting to come together and recognize us," Walderzak says. "They are really excited about all the fitness programs that we are offering.

"The clients that we do have I feel very fortunate because they are amazing. They’re trying to help out with the studio and promote it as much as possible. They really believe in what we’re doing."

There is also an open house scheduled for Sept. 7 from noon to 2 p.m., and Walderzak says she's working on a special surprise for that day, trying to book a former U.S. gold medal bob sledding Olympian.

"We’ll be offering 10 percent off for that day only," she says.
