Is it ok to join a gym in teenager age?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly ,but: A gym membership is worthwhile if you plan activities that are appropriate for your stage of maturity. Learning the proper ways to lift weights, strength exercises, conditioning are all important. Heavy lifting programs should be delayed until you reach your final height or you can injure your growth centers.Be sure to learn techniques from certified trainers, not just whoever is there for the day.
