Kids Strength Training in Dandenong
Strength is an important part of growing up, and helping children become stronger does not have to mean lifting heavy weights or following an adult-style gym routine. 747Fitness hosts kids strength training sessions to help young participants make exercise part of their routine. Our trainers understand that children are still growing and learning how their bodies move, which is why our sessions are designed around their abilities. Children can learn good exercise habits without feeling pressured to keep up with anyone else. Help your child build strength and confidence with 747Fitness today.

Build Strong Foundations with Strength Training for Kids
Children are naturally active, so strength training should feel like an enjoyable part of being active and not a chore. At 747Fitness, our strength training for kids focuses on simple, controlled exercises that can be adapted to suit younger members. Instead of expecting children to train like adults, our trainers introduce movements that match their age, experience and ability. Depending on their ability and goals, children can take part in exercises that focus on building overall body strength, improving balance and coordination, developing better movement control, supporting an active lifestyle, learning how to exercise with good technique, and becoming more confident with physical activity. Our ultimate goal is to make getting stronger something children enjoy.

Fun Core Strength Exercises for Kids to Build Better Movement
A strong core helps children control their bodies during everyday movements and physical activities, which is why core strength exercises for kids can be a useful part of a well-rounded fitness routine. At 747Fitness, our trainers introduce children to different activities to keep them interested, making it easier for young members to stay engaged while gradually becoming stronger. Children take part in activities that encourage them to improve core control through simple bodyweight movements, develop balance and stability during different exercises, build coordination while learning new movement patterns, strengthen major muscle groups through age-appropriate activities, and become more confident with exercise through regular practice. The goal is not to see how much a child can lift — it is about helping them understand movement, enjoy being active and gradually develop their physical abilities.

I’ve been going to 747fitness and honestly, I love it! Kosta and Coach Ray and V are so friendly and supportive, and everyone there is really welcoming too. I used to feel very self-conscious and avoided anything fitness-related, but now I go almost 6 days a week. I’m really happy with the change I see in myself, both physically and mentally 😊

She has become stronger, more confident, more explosive on the pitch, and mentally resilient. Thanks you Kosta and Aidan!
100% recommended! I can’t imagine her training anywhere else

Kosta, Vedad and the team do an awesome job. They engage well with everyone and everyone feels welcomed. My 13yr old son has been coming for a few months and loves it, you can really see the improvement in his workouts and he is trying things he never would have otherwise like Yoga.
My son says “It’s a great place to go to for good vibes and a great workout, everyone there is so nice and welcoming and I always have a fun workout”

I can’t recommend 747 Fitness enough. Training here has completely changed my strength and consistency.
Kosta goes above and beyond — he doesn’t just coach you in the gym, he keeps you accountable outside of it too. He texts every morning to check how you’re feeling, which honestly keeps you committed and on track. That level of care makes a huge difference.
I was also dealing with groin soreness that just wouldn’t go away, and Kosta helped me work through it properly with the right exercises and adjustments. Since then, I’ve felt stronger, more mobile, and pain-free.

I’ve had a really good experience at 747 Fitness. Since starting, I’ve definitely noticed improvements in my strength and overall fitness. The sessions are tough, but that’s what makes them so effective, you really get pushed and it brings out your best.
The trainers are great. They’re supportive, approachable, and always encouraging, but they also know how to challenge you. It’s a really positive environment to train in, and you feel motivated every session.

747 Fitness isn’t just a place of working out, it’s a family environment. Whether you’re new or a returning person, you’re welcomed like you’ve been there for many years. The coaches are super friendly, helpful and most importantly passionate. I’ve never had or seen coaches that are genuinely interested in seeing you achieve what you aim to achieve, they push you every step of the way with amazing encouragement. I can say confidently that being at 747 fitness has not only helped me reach my goals physically but mentally it has help me grow in other areas. I would highly recommend going down and seeing for yourself what it’s like. Shoutout to Kosta for creating a space for everyone ❤️

If I could give 747 fitness 100 stars, I would without hesitation!
3 months in and this place has truly become my home away from home. From day one, the atmosphere has been welcoming, motivating and full of positive energy. I actually know Kosta from school and when I realised I needed help with my weightloss journey, I reached out and it was the best decision I have ever made. The support and encouragement I received right away meant so much to me.
The classes are amazing. They're challenging in the best way. Full of energy and designed to actually help you grow. You don't just show up and sweat, you show up with purpose. There's real focus on your goals, and the coaches are amazing. They're right there with you every step of the way. They push you, encourage you, check in on you and celebrate your wins like they're, their own. That kind of support is rare.
On top of that, having a diet plan ready and tailored to my goals makes the whole journey so much smoother. It takes the guess work out of everything and makes staying consistent so much easier. You're not left to figure things out alone. Kosta truly sets you up to succeed.
And the fact that it's kid friendly? That means everything. Being able to focus on myself while knowing my children are welcomed and comfortable takes away so much stress. It makes showing up possible, and consistency is everything.
747 fitness truly has everything you could ask for. Great classes, real guidance, accountability and an incredible atmosphere. I'm beyond grateful to be apart of 747 fitness. I look forward to being there and honestly, I'd do whatever it takes to keep coming back. It's more than just a gym. It's support, community and a place that makes me want to be better every single day.

I have held several gym memberships but I must say that I have never been a part of anything like this. This is not just a membership to some fitness club. It’s belonging, it’s run by a genuinely wonderful person who genuinely cares and challenges your fitness goals. It is aligned with a group of trainers that pay individual attention to your needs and personal goals. They celebrate with you they challenge you they continually encourage you. They are genuinely pleased to see you turn up at every session and every session is different. And the members - that’s another story they are simply wonderful people that build each other up. The success stories are remarkable the journeys associated with these remarkable individuals are astounding.
747 is not like any other gym. I love it. I have never worked harder and never felt better for it.

Got Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, when children use suitable exercises with proper supervision. The main concern is usually poor technique, unsuitable equipment or training without guidance. Children should learn how to perform movements correctly before increasing resistance.
This is a common concern among parents. Properly supervised strength training does not have to involve heavy lifting or unsafe exercises. Children should train with suitable movements and guidance rather than following an adult weightlifting programme.
There is no single age that suits every child. Readiness depends on the child’s age, maturity, ability to follow instructions and interest in exercise. A suitable programme should match the child rather than simply their age.
No. Kids strength training can include bodyweight exercises, resistance-based movements and other activities that challenge the muscles. Weights are not automatically needed for a child to become stronger.
