If you’re a parent in Penticton, you want your teen to grow up healthy, confident, and active. But what’s the best type of exercise during these important years of development? The answer for many families is strength training.
At Beach City Fitness in Penticton, we created StrongHER Teens — a girls-only fitness program that helps teens ages 12–18 build strength safely while boosting their confidence and learning lifelong healthy habits.
They struggle with posture or coordination.
Strength training helps develop stability and movement awareness — great for school, sports, and everyday life in Penticton.
They get frequent aches, pains, or sports injuries.
Whether it’s soccer, swimming, or hockey, proper strength training makes teens more resilient and injury-resistant.
They lack confidence in physical activities.
Learning to lift and move well builds self-esteem, both in the gym and beyond.
They spend too much time sitting.
School and screens can keep kids inactive. A weekly program in a local Penticton gym balances that out.
They want to improve in their sport.
Local athletes gain an edge in speed, endurance, and power when strength training is part of their routine.
For teenage girls in Penticton, strength training is about more than fitness:
Builds bone density during growth years.
Teaches a positive, strength-based body image.
Provides a safe, girls-only training environment.
Sets the foundation for lifelong health and confidence.
Parents often ask: “Is strength training safe for teens?” The answer is yes — when it’s supervised by qualified coaches. At Beach City Fitness, our StrongHER Teens program is:
Coach-led: Every session is taught by experienced trainers.
Girls-only: A supportive and encouraging atmosphere.
Small-group: More attention to ensure safe progress.
We have registrations open now for our fall programs or book a No Sweat Intro to talk about a fitness assessment for a mobility and movement screening.
