Virgin Active has taken on Panatta Sport’s Kids line at its recently opened Genoa site, and plans to offer similar children’s fitness facilities at its new Bologna and Rome sites.

The chain has equipped its children’s area with Yukari Bikes and accessories and instructors will also receive training from Panatta’s technical consultants.

The first training course, which will include the techniques of children’s training games, will be held at the Genoa centre by Roberto Carminucci and Maria Luisa Quinci.
