"The reason why kids are obese in this country is mainly because they don't exercise, they don't have the time to exercise as much and the foods, a lot of parents do not have the time to cook, so there is a lot of fast foods for them," said health coach Denisa Hluchova.

To help kids and parents get fit, this weight transition program is designed for adolescents, it's called NICE, which stands for Nutrition, Intelligence, Confidence and Energy. Twice a week, kids exercise in a group where it's more fun.

"They go from running stairs to simple pushups, sit ups, we don't do any weights, everything is their own body weight, pushups, jumps, squats, everything is very simple and fun," Hluchova said.

Along with a health coach who makes it all run smoothly, a fitness and nutritional expert works with kids and parents.

"We have competition, the biggest winner family. We do a family weigh in and the parents are encouraged to lose weight and work out, as well," Hluchova said.

In addition to a good exercise program and a healthy diet, the emotional aspect needs to be addressed also. A behavioral health expert says kids are just stressed out.

"The top thing they say they want to change is decrease their stress levels. There is stuff in school, the family environment. Most of our kids come from divorced families so there is stuff going on at home." Aditi Puranik.

Puranik is a behavioral health expert who creates goals for the kids.

"Whether or not they want to lose weight or gain self esteem or decrease their stress level in their lives, that is what I help them work on," Puranik said.

The program costs $360 for eight week but some insurance plans do cover the program.
