Those Runner Kids

Those Runner Kids is a mommy-and-me / toddler exercise class that introduces little ones to concepts of running while working on various developmental skills in an age-appropriate way. Led by a running coach and personal trainer with a youth training specialty, this program gets kids moving in a fun and engaging way.

In these kids fitness classes each week children will work on a theme of skills such as:

speed
endurance
agility
balance and coordination

Kids work on various skills through games. For example, children work on speed and agility while racing to a color cone or shape. This also works on spatial awareness, listening skills, and school prep by identifying colors, shapes, animals, etc.
