I represent New York Kids Club in Manhattan and alot of parents enroll their little one into classes like Gymnastics because it is easier to socialize and get to know parents rather than their kid going out to play in a Manhattan/Brooklyn neighborhood. The teachers know parents want their kids to have a life long love of fitness and strive to acheive a fun and relaxed environment. In smaller communities, YMCAs are a good place to take your kid too. The point is to make sure your child is having fun and happy do whatever activity puts a smile on their face and keeps them healthy too!

I would question whether excessive exercise at a young age is likely to damage young and forming joints and bones etc.

Yes keep those gym receipts because in Canada on your 07 taxes you will be able to use these as a non refundable tax credit. In other words, you will not pay tax on the amount paid to the gym, for all members of your family.

I read earlier today that some gyms are offering classes to children as young as 2 months, this is for free as long as their parents are members. Children need to move, but toddlers can not always handle structure.
