**About Smart Gym**:
Our children are watching everything we do, and we know that our mental health has a serious impact on them.

For example, Stanford Medicine estimates the heritability of depression is 40-50%. This is worrying because 1 in 5 new mums and around half of their partners develop a mental health issue following the birth of their child.

Research shows that exercise is just as effective as antidepressants for treating depressive disorders but for most parents and carers, gyms are not accessible or affordable.

In a pre-launch survey of 539 Glasgow caregivers, 70% of parents reported that their biggest barrier to exercise was "childcare commitments", whilst the biggest barrier for 13% of parents was that "gyms are too expensive".

Smart Gym is a social enterprise formed by parents to break these barriers to make exercise accessible and achievable for every family, and prevent family history repeating itself in future generations.

Our aim is to abate intergenerational health issues such as depression, anxiety and obesity-related illnesses in children through early intervention which includes introducing them to a gym environment from a young age as well as improving the lives of their role models-their parents and carers.

We believe that by inspiring caregivers to instil positive learned behaviours in exercise-based environments, and by using physical activity as a treatment for mental illness, we can create deep-rooted, long-term social change within our community.

Smart Gym disrupts the fitness industry by welcoming children age 8+ to use our gym alongside their caregiver and ensuring children aged 0-8 are looked after in our onsite crèche whilst parents workout.

Smart Gym’s exciting new partnership with Les Mills is a golden opportunity for someone with a passion in kids’ fitness to be help create a shift in public health that will affect generations.
