KidStrong is a science-based training program that builds strong, confident and high-character kids.

KidStrong is a science-based kids training program that builds strong, confident and high-character kids. Our program is designed with the whole child in mind, focusing on three key pillars: Character, Physical and Cognitive development. We teach kids to believe in themselves and help families grow together in moments of celebration and showing off.

The ability to analyze, adapt and find solutions has an impact not just in the classroom—but in every area of life.

💫 We’re talking about problem solving—something that kids practice everyday at KidStrong. But this week as part of the KidStrong Fall Challenge, we’re dialing in on problem solving with mental and physical challenges that accelerate kids’ skills. 💫

We’re challenging KidStrong kids to grow by learning how to think critically under pressure, adapt when things don’t go the way you expect and collaborate with teammates.

The results? More creativity. More resilience. And more determination to win at life. 🙌 👏

At KidStrong, we’re helping kids get stronger one challenge at a time. 💪 We can’t wait to see what they achieve this week.

It’s our 10th birthday!! 💪🏼🎉

The ability to solve problems—in school and in life—matters. It helps kids overcome challenges, achieve goals and think creatively.

At KidStrong, we make problem solving fun through age-appropriate skill-building activities developed by experts. We’re talking:

🏗️ Fort building to teach kids how to plan, adapt and think critically and creatively.
⭕ Strategic thinking and logical reasoning games like tic-tac-toe.
🤝 Line up challenges that require collaboration and communication to get the job done.
🤷 Guessing games that require kids to analyze information and use logic.

During this week of the KidStrong Fall Challenge, problem solving is front and center. We’re working on developing strong minds equipped with the skills they need to thrive in any situation. 🌱

Discovering how the body works is important for kids to learn early on. Understanding anatomy helps them connect the dots between movement, health and confidence. 💥

During the KidStrong Fall Challenge we teach young kids about anatomy in fun, engaging ways that sets them up for:
✔️ Better body awareness—so they move with coordination and control.
✔️ Future STEAM learning—anatomy is the foundation for science education now and later in school
✔️ Lifelong health—Awareness of muscles, bones and movement can lead to healthy habits that last a lifetime!

At KidStrong, we understand the connection between strong bodies and strong minds. By learning anatomy, kids learn how to move through the world with unshakeable confidence. 🙌

Grit is what helps kids keep going when things get tough. It’s the drive to work hard, stick with it and finish strong—even when the challenge feels like it’s too much.

During KidStrong’s Fall Challenge, kids are given opportunities to push their limits in a safe, motivating environment. This allows them to learn that grit isn’t about talent—it’s about consistent effort, the ability to persevere and cultivate resilience.

This week, we’re teaching kids how to:

🏃 Stay motivated in the face of obstacles
🚴 Build confidence through hard work
🤝 Strengthen their mental and emotional resilience

These skills go way beyond the KidStrong center—they translate in the real world.

Wear it. Share it. Stand Strong. 💪🏼

Bravery is one of the most important skills a kid can build—it helps them tackle difficult things head on, try new things and grow mentally stronger with each challenge.

At KidStrong, we help kids practice bravery in a safe environment so they can discover the confidence that is on the other side of fear. 🙌

Bravery starts small—but creates big changes like:

➡️ Resilience
➡️ Self Confidence
➡️ Perseverance
➡️ Focus and determination

Let’s get braver—together! Because little challenges create the kind of courage we need to WIN AT LIFE!

09/15/2025

Kids need challenges to develop essential life skills like resilience, problem-solving, teamwork and confidence. 💪

At KidStrong, we create a supportive environment for kids to try new things, meet new challenges and discover their inner capacity to grow. 🙌

During the Fall Challenge, kids will develop:

⭐ Bravery and Grit: By facing difficult challenges, kids develop bravery and grit to learn how to persevere.
⭐ Problem-Solving Skills: Analyzing, brainstorming solutions and critical thinking
are life skills that translate to the classroom, workplace and beyond.
⭐ Anatomy: Understanding different muscle groups and what they’re used for to build the brain and the body!
⭐ Athleticism: Building coordination, strength and mental and emotional wellbeing—setting kids up for a lifetime of good health.

Ready to rise to the occasion?

The KidStrong Fall Challenge kicks off TODAY—and finishes strong with Showcase week beginning on November 17th.

Let’s go! 👏

We’ve got a lot to celebrate this week at KidStrong!

This is the moment our kids get to show what they’ve been working on—and it’s about WAY more than just movement. We’ve watched these kids learn about growth, grit, and the courage to rise to the occasion.

They’ve learned:

🤝 Teamwork—We’re talking collaboration, encouraging one another, and solving challenges together.

🤸 Gymnastic Skills—From coordination to balance, they’re ready to take center stage with powerful, practiced movement.

🎤 Public Speaking—These kids are using their own voices with confidence learned in the gym and through practice with their peers.

We’re celebrating every kid’s progress and the strength, courage, and resilience they’ve picked up along the way.

Parents—get ready to be amazed! 🤩

09/01/2025

Public speaking isn’t just something we TALK about at KidStrong—it’s something we PRACTICE.

This week, we’re continuing to focus on Public Speaking and everything our KidStrong kids have achieved in practicing it. These kids are using their voices to show us what confidence in action looks like.

👋 From introducing themselves to the group …
👏 To cheering on their teammates, …
🦘 Building confidence through jumping, and …
🗣️ Explaining a strategy or movement out loud …

… these skills are the foundation of healthy confidence, social connection, and strong communication—all of which are required for happy lives.

Science tells us that public speaking helps kids boost their confidence and self-esteem, enhance critical thinking, build resilience, and even improve academic performance.*

Join us in celebrating these kids and their bright futures! 😎

This week we’re continuing to celebrate the power of the JUMP—a simple but essential movement that builds strength inside and out.

Jumping builds:

🏃 Body awareness and strength.
🧠 A strong mind-body connection.
🎯 Focus, coordination, and control.
🙂 Courage—to launch into the unknown and land strong.

Jumping is a moment of bravery. When KidStrong kids learn to go for it, trust their bodies, and try again when necessary, they’re developing resilience.

And that’s how kids learn to navigate life’s ups and downs! 🏋️

08/18/2025

At KidStrong we know confidence starts in the body. That’s why this week we’re celebrating the brain and body power of the broad jump.

We love this jump—a move that involves leaping as far as possible without a running start—because it supports:

🧠 Mind-body connection: Jumping and landing with control is essential for better spatial awareness, coordination, and timing. 🧠

🦘 Explosive power: The ability to produce max force matters because it improves athletic performance and even reduces the risk of injury.*🦘

💪 Core strength & stability: Every jump builds the muscles needed for good posture and balance. 💪

🤸Self-esteem & confidence: Making a jump boosts self-esteem, which makes them more willing to try new things and take on new challenges in the future. 🤸

When kids learn the broad jump, they’re building strength and balance—as well as the confidence and courage to move through the world with power and purpose.

It’s time to JUMP IN.

Push-ups are a powerhouse movement for total development!

This week at KidStrong, we’re continuing to focus on one of the most important and versatile bodyweight skills: THE PUSH-UP! 💥💥

Push-ups support whole-child development because they are:

✔️ A functional movement that supports joint alignment
✔️ A core, shoulder and postural strength builder—which supports kids inside and outside of the classroom
✔️ Able to support discipline, endurance and confidence. Push-ups aren’t about speed—they’re about form and doing it RIGHT.

Push-ups build resilience, coordination and control, making them a life skill in disguise.

08/04/2025

At KidStrong, leg day is also brain day, balance day and confidence day—all in one!

That’s because we focus on the squat—a powerful move that really matters. Why?

✅ Squats don’t just build strong legs—they engage the core, glutes and spine to support the whole body!

✅ Deep squats improve hip, knee and ankle flexibility—all of which are important for running, jumping, climbing and good posture.

✅ Squats are one of the most essential movements for a healthy life. Think: picking up a backpack, getting up from the floor or general physical fitness.

When KidStrong kids master squats, they’re not just exercising, they’re becoming more capable human beings. And that is something to celebrate! 🎉
