Fit Kids has been a great source for all things related to exercise and fun! Our school has partnered with Fit Kids over the last few years and we've had such a great experience. Fit Kids provides us with exercise equipment and a curriculum to help keep our students active. I would definitely suggest Fit Kids to all K-8th schools because the activities and equipment make for engagement during P.E. classes.
Fit Kids did an amazing thing for us - they created Fit Kits with simple exercise equipment, and a calendar with links to videos that would allow our students to work out along with them. In a time when recess and PE are hard to come by, this was an awesome gift. The students of Horace Mann Elementary can now get up off the couch and back into the groove of physical fitness. I was very flattered to be involved in some of the creation of the schedule and consulted on the activities.
Fit Kids delivers by helping make just that : Fit kids!

Fit Kids is a fantastic organization. A lot of people talk about the problems of obesity among youth, but Fit Kids is DOING something about. The fact that Fit Kids primarily helps underserved youth makes the organization's contributions to our society even more significant.
My school is beginning our fourth year using the Fit Kids program. It has far exceeded our expectations. As a teacher, the curriculum is age appropriate, adaptable, and easy to follow — but most importantly it engages the students and they love it! From the fun warmups to the fitness challenges and games, the students are involved and moving. Fit Kids keeps the excercises so fun, that the kids rarely know they are even gaining health benefits. Through the program, kids are exposed to new activities that they otherwise may never have tried. I see their confidence grow as they realize that they are capable and strong, both physically and mentally. We are very grateful for the Fit Kids program.
I'm a huge fan of FitKids. Childhood obesity is an epidemic, and the narrative is all about scolding parents/guardians for feeding their kids garbage. FitKids takes the positive approach by promoting activity, movement, physical fitness. Gone are the days where kids walked to school or rode their bikes to pick up groceries or play in the neighborhood. Most underserved kids don't have access to coordinated activity programs in their most important formative years K-5th grade. FitKids not only provides the opportunity and framework, they make it fun. Kids today, and future generations, need a chance to understand how important activity is to their overall wellbeing. My hope is that people will support FitKids so their impact continues to grow.
I have been an educator for 16 years. I have been in the classroom and out of the classroom teaching including P.E. for 4 years. This program is the best laid out, simple and enjoyable program for the fitness of our youth that I have come across. It builds not only fitness but leadership skills and confidence in students. I have worked closely with the Fit KIds Foundation and everyone at this nonprofit is definitely on a mission for our youth. Whether you are a before/after-school program, P.E. program looking for curriculum or even home-schooling, Fit Kids will definitely be a great partnership!
We love Fitkids! Our students take pride in the activities & are consistently active. We are blessed to be apart of this wonderful program!

I adore giving my time and resources to Fit Kids! They provide sports programs to children who no longer have PE, due to budget cuts, or don't have cost-effective after school sports offerings. We have a mental health and an obesity epidemic in our country and Fit Kids provides an effective and impactful solution.

I have been a Fit Kids board member for several years. This organization makes a great impact on the kids that it serves. The Fit Kids programs increases physical activity levels and improve fitness for thousands of children at schools and community organizations. These schools and organizations are thrilled with the program and communicate the physical, social and emotional benefits that result from their students participation.
Never in my 7 years in Physical education instruction have I received so much equipment! The items given and the curriculum has some terrific ideas and systems to implement fitness! The elementary students I work with really enjoy the fitness ropes and speed ladders, but they all enjoy the variability that the different stations of exercises!
I'm excited to attend the Fitkids training this September (2019) and look forward to partnering with Fitkids in the future!

What a great program! Our teachers love the guided curriculum and matching equipment; the lessons are well written and age appropriate, so the sequence is visible. But, best of all the Fit Kids Program is fun! Thanks again for creating fitness fun, and sharing it with our St. Odilia kids!
FitKids has done an amazing job for many schools and PE classes! They are phenomenal at introducing fun activities and supplying the equipment. I’m thoroughly impressed.
Great organization and very well run!
FitKids has changed the lives of some of our students. They are so excited for physical education nowadays and it’s such a great feeling as a teacher. Even students who normally don’t care to participate are having a blast!
I started using fit kids equipment maybe a month ago, and I can tell you it helped me out tremendously. The kids have fun while working out. I use fit kids for grades kindergarten through 8 grade. I like to set up obstacle courses, I also use it for my sports teams basketball, football, and volleyball, I love the Dodge balls very soft and don't hurt when getting hit in the face.
Fit kids made physical education easier for me, and the kids love it.
Thanks fit kids
Fit kids does amazing work in our area, and have added an important component to a child's day, making sure they get the activity they need to stay healthy. It is a well-run organization that uses their resources well.
Amazing organization I’m thrilled to support. Fitkids is changing kids’ lives in meaningful ways. I’m so impressed with this organization and the growth they’ve exhibited and the impact they have. Go Fitkids!!
Great organization with an important mission -- helping underserved kids realize the benefits of organized exercise and physical activity. So important today and Fit Kids delivers with a high energy, inclusive, fun program that kids resonate with and keep coming back to.
Fit Kids is a phenomenal non-profit that provides structured fitness programs for underserved youth. Budget cuts in schools and other forces that reduce or eliminate recess, PE classes and other fitness opportunities have left our most vulnerable populations even more susceptible to obesity, diabetes, depression and other ills that result from inactivity. Fit Kids is one of the foremost forces working to ensure a fit future for all kids!
