By JOHN BALZ, Times Staff Writer Gym for kids almost ready for businessWEST MEADOWS -- A West Meadows couple is putting the finishes touches on a kids-only gym facility in New Tampa to open next month. Fyt Kids Gym will offer programs for children age 18 months to 8 years. The programs, based on gymnastics, are designed to increase strength, flexibility and aerobic capacity. "There are tremendous motor skills to learn with gymnastics," said owner Julie Hankins, who has coached gymnastics since she was 15. "Turning, jumping, hopping, it gives children an opportunity to go into any sport." Fyt Kids' equipment will include bars, a balance beam, a rock climbing wall and a trampoline. Call 973-3313.
