Celebrity Kids go to the Gym: Harlow, Apple, Jayden James, and More

 Harlow Madden was photographed leaving West Hollywood’s Fit for Kids gym yesterday, with mom Nicole Richie in tow. Harlow isn’t the first celebrity kid to hit a child-centered gym for workouts.

Britney Spears’ son Jayden James has been spotted at the My Gym Children’s Fitness Center in Encino, CA. And both Gwyneth Paltrow (with Apple and Moses on hand) and Naomi Watts (who brings along Sasha and Sammy) are regulars at Citibabes, an indoor NYC playspace and movement-center that costs $2100-per-year to join.

Where do your children get their exercise? In the great outdoors? Mine too! But once I make it big, my tot and I are signing up for Citibabes, where we’ll sweat alongside the stars.

Get This: Apple Martin’s Flower Headband

It’s 60-degrees in New York City, which feels positively balmy, so lets talk flowers! Specifically, the blooms that have taken root on the heads of celebrity kids. For girls who love to be girly (not you, Shiloh! we get it!), a fabric gardenia can make the difference between a plain-jane outfit and a playtime ensemble-with-pizzazz. Apple Martin opts for a bright fuchsia blossom, to match her vibrant top — a stark contrast to mom Gwyneth Paltrow’s cityscape-gray ensemble!

Your tot can own the same headband (also available in lavender, navy, and white) for $16.50, from J.Crew:

Playground Etiquette, With Ethan Hawke and Clementine

Spring has a way of drawing out bluebirds, crocuses, and star parents at New York City’s playgrounds. Most recent spotting: Ethan Hawke, in a trucker cap, with 19-month-old Clementine on his hip. Also seen at the same West Side playground: one award-winning novelist with a toddler in tow, and way too many moms in Uggs, given that the temps topped 50 degrees. Which means, yes, it’s time for the season’s first lessons in celebrity playground etiquette! Ready?

1. Shower before hitting the park. When sidling up to Ethan (or Liev, or Padma, or Sarah Jessica) you’ll want to be sure your busy-mom hair is clear of Cheerios, applesauce, and wayward diaper cream.

2. Don’t pester the celebs. They want to hang out in peace. Just kidding! Gently hassle the stars all you want! But at least be sly about it. Step 1: Put your tyke on a trike and have the child lightly slam the celeb in the shins. Step 2: rush over to apologize, profusely. Step 3: “Have I mentioned how much I loved Reality Bites?” Note: It’s best to leave your spouse at home when attempting this degrading trick.

3. Bring good snacks. Unwrap the bounty (sugar works wonders) within eyesight of the A-List progeny, and you’ve got the kid hooked. And where child goes, parent follows. If the celeb you’re looking to impress is named Gwyneth, make sure the eats are organic and free-trade.

Finally, report back! Got a good story about swinging on the monkey bars with with Shiloh Jolie-Pitt? We’re all ears.
