After School Youth Programs
Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds
A dynamic after-school program that builds strength, confidence, and focus both inside and out.
At Jimmy's Athletics, we know that after school is a vital time for kids to recharge, refocus, and release energy. That’s why Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds combines fitness, learning, and creativity in a supportive, high-energy environment for children ages 7 and up. Whether your child is bursting with energy or needs a little motivation, we meet them where they are and do it with fun, focus, and care.
More Than a Workout
Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds is more than just punching bags and pushups—it’s about building a foundation for success inside and outside the gym. From focused tutoring to creative outlets and real skill-building, our program supports the whole child.
Time: After school until 5:30 PM
Registration: Now open for Fall!

Please speak with Jimmy directly to ensure we can support your child’s needs. All medication needs to be in the original container with your child’s name and the date of the prescription.

Is the program peanut free?
All our snacks are designed to avoid all major allergens, but we cannot ensure no other children bring anything on site. If there is someone with a specific allergy to peanuts or other foods, we will coordinate with the parents of other children in the group to be mindful of their needs and accommodate accordingly.

Pick up time is 6pm.
