Physical Education & Wellness
Curriculum

We provide an expertly created fitness and wellness curriculum taught by our Certified Youth Fitness Instructors.

As youth fitness experts we know how to capture that high energy so common in preschoolers and turn it into an adventure. It is a fun, action-packed fitness class where kids learn strength, endurance, flexibility, balance, and how healthy foods fuel their bodies.

Watch your kids develop focus and gain self-control from physical activity that will help with school and sports readiness and skyrocket them to their next milestone… all while making friends and having FUN!

Our exercises and curriculum were developed under the supervision of an advisory board consisting of pediatricians, nutritionists, educators and fitness professionals. Our advisory board and affiliate advisory council regularly review our program to ensure that our participants enjoy the most effective and safe exercises available for children.

Our Youth Fitness Guidelines are in compliance with the Aerobic and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), the American Council on Exercise (ACE), the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Our curriculum and exercise glossary are safe, effective and age-appropriate.
