Kidokinetics Franchise Expands

At no time in our nation has there been a greater need for children's fitness programs. Kidokinetics is taking bold steps to address this need. Kidokinetics is an all around sports fitness program for children to develop coordination, self-confidence and a lifelong love of physical fitness.

In the past decade, the child obesity rate has tripled, with one in every four children now overweight (1). Childhood obesity has far-reaching consequences. Health-related behaviors are critically linked to the health of young people and the adults they will become (2). According to the Centers for Disease Control, there is a dangerous bottom line: American children today have a shorter life expectancy than do their parents (3).

Increasing numbers of health clubs are answering the call to provide fitness programs for children. The number of children making use of such programs has virtually exploded - since 1987, the percentage has increased by an astonishing 223% ()!

Kidokinetics programs are designed to meet the needs of all youngsters. Unlike typical sports programs, Kidokinetics has no teams, no pressure, and no winners or losers. Their experienced coaches keep the focus on fun, encouraging active involvement from each child. Through their play, the children develop important building blocks for life: discipline, confidence, coordination, fine and gross motor skills, and fitness.

Established in 1995, Kidokinetics is the result of research, experience and a passion for developing children to their fullest athletic potential. Programs are designed to reveal, enhance, and uplift the creative energies tied to thinking and movement. This, in turn, aids developing improved communications, decision-making, problem-solving and social skills. "My greatest joy is to build children's confidence and develop their love of fitness." Says Terri Braun Founder and President.

With the ever-increasing need for such programs and corresponding growth in children's fitness industry, Florida-based Kidokinetics is expanding its operations via franchising. They are seeking enthusiastic team players to join them. Kidokinetics provides full Franchise support services such as complete training, a comprehensive operations manual, ongoing program oversight, and marketing expertise.
