Get Fit With Kathy Henkel

Fit Kids

Do you have a group or troop that wants to incorporate a fun class into their routine??? !!

Children Love to exercise along with the FIT KIDS program. The moves are easy to follow, while being fun & exciting enough to keep kids interested. We even use some of the machines through out the gym, and focus on core strength, and funtional training.
In today’s fast-paced, commercialized world it can be difficult to ensure your children eat well and exercise regularly. My goal is to educate and inspire children to pursue wellness.

An important way to help your child with weight loss, maintaining a normal weight and develop healthy habits is to encourage him to participate in a fitness program designed specifically for kids. FIT KIDS is fun, motivating, and will help your child develop a positive outlook on exercise, and health. It will create a learning path to their future on the importance of exercise and nutrition.
