Andy Jackson

Article Abstract:

There are a number of standalone health facilities for children in the UK, but there is probably only limited potential for dedicated children's health clubs, according to Andy Jackson, founder of FitKid and FitClub. The best approach is to combine facilities for children with those for adults. It is vital to provide health facilities for children, he believes, as they derive great benefit from being active.
