What age can you go to the gym?

Answer 1

You should left weights when you are 15 or 16 BUT if u do it on a younger age you could stop growing up BUT if u are under 15 or 16 u can still do push seat ups / crunches and the good news is that will NOT stop you from your growing.

Answer 2

You don't want too intense workout before you hit puberty. Besides your body needs the fat and nutrients for proper growth. Children who exercise excessively run the risk of damaging the growth plates at the end of their major bones. This leads to the growth of the bones stopping. Such people are much shorter than others by the time they reach adolescence. Adolescents still have the growth plates but the disappear entirely by early to mid twenties. This condition is not uncommon in children who have been over encouraged to exercise pre adolescence.

Answer 3

You can be as old as you want but you have to be at least 16 or older to work out at a gym like the world gym in Fayette and Peachtree City

Answer 4

Every gym I have ever attended or have been apart of has had a age limit that starts at 16.

I do know of a few that will allow 15 if supervised by a parent.

Answer 5

It depends on the gym. I think that the YMCA's policy is 16 unless you take a special course that admits access to younger age groups.

Answer 6

Any age is a good age for a work out.

Answer 7

The youngest is 17
