OUR WORLD IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CHILDHOOD FITNESS CRISIS
And our children aren’t moving enough.
Obesity, and a slew of consequential illnesses and other afflictions hamper over 150 million children throughout their lives – affecting cognitive, social, emotional and physical development and well being. The bad news is that it’s getting worse: the number of obese children is growing – and is predicted to reach 250 million globally by 2030.
(Atlas of Childhood Obesity October 2019)
As exercise professionals working with kids, we’re doing a fine thing here on our planet:
By bringing quality programs to children, we give them the required exercise needed for health, teach them healthy lifestyle habits from early, boost their confidence AND have lots of FUN!
But it’s not easy. It’s a physical job that required huge dedication, enormous patience, never-ending creativity, physical energy and savvy business skill
THAT’S WHY I CREATED GYM KIDS ACADEMY
When I started GKA, I brought together:
The discipline and technique from my Springbok gymnastics coaching days,
The psychology of children’s development from my postgraduate degree in Psychology,
The neuroscience behind Kinderkinetics and Paediatric Occupational Therapy,
The customer service and safety through years of being in a gym and dealing with Parents
The down to earth practicality of training instructors so they “get it” (after running a business & working with hundreds of instructors over the years!)
Gymnastics, tumbling, trampoline, functional fitness and yoga for kids aged 4-12 years
Bring a new physical activity to your school, add to your existing kids program or create a whole new kids programme for your dojo, dance studio or cross-fit gym!

“I love the GKA Movement Library! The videos have been a lifesaver – they show me exactly what progression steps to use with my kids. Even before I had finished the Instructor course I had my little ones doing the rope skipping on the tennis court- We had such FUN- and I can already see a good improvement in their co-ordination and fitness!”
“Our children are the rock on which our future will be built, our greatest asset as a nation. They will be the leaders of our country, the creators of our national wealth, those who care for and protect our people”
