Kids Fitness
FRESH Fitness 4 Kids is a program dedicated to the promotion of wellness, health and active living in kids ages 5-16. It is a non-competitive, fun-focused program that introduces movement training from all areas of fitness, including sport, games, strengthening, endurance and flexibility.
Our Goal
Our goal is to establish ongoing active living in children of all ages. We encourage parents to promote self-reliance, initiative, and confidence in their child through fitness. This non-competitive program will help children by increasing their self-esteem, teaching them to work towards goals and helping them to understand the relationship between their minds and their bodies.

How much does it cost?

- 12 Week Session & Initial Evaluation without referral - $196
All program fees are non-transferable and non-refundable and are due at the Initial Evaluation. For those students participating with a Doctor's referral, missed classes will be billed to you in FULL @ $12/class.
What is the schedule?
The program will run on Fridays and Saturdays. Registration is rolling so you can join anytime.
What is the Initial Evaluation?
Families will meet with one of our staff to go through an initial evaluation. This meeting will help us to get to know your child and give us a chance to set up some realistic goals together. We will go through a series of basic exercises to establish a baseline level against which we can measure progress. This evaluation is intended to help participants and families understand and measure success.
What will they need to wear?
Kids can wear a pair of runners with comfortable clothing that they can exercise in. (All members must have proper shoes and socks or will not be permitted to participate.)
How will we measure success?
Kids will work towards self-determined goals and also work through Power Levels. Each Power Level promotes different skills and areas of focus. There are tasks in each level that must be accomplished on the way to successfully completing the level. Success is individually determined based on results of each initial evaluation as well as on the SMART* goals set out by members and their families. Power levels typically would take one to two - 10 week cycles to complete.
What are the fresh Philosophies?
We believe that fitness should be fun and that a great workout does not require expensive, complicated equipment. The kids in this program will be able to easily integrate what they learn into their everyday lives. Our 45-minute classes are full of fun activities that challenge students at their personal level and encourage them to:
- Treat themselves and others with respect
- Concentrate and always do their best work
- Serve as a positive role model for others
- Be aware of their impact on the earth and our environment
- Appreciate the gift of an active body
- Make active living a part of everyday life
