As parents, all we want is for our kids to live a fulfilling life and stay true to themselves. But life doesn’t make it easy – every day they face problems, pressures and people who make them question their worth. That’s where KidStrong comes in. With soon-to-be three locations in the Phoenix area, KidStrong is teaching kids to believe in themselves through science-based fitness games.
KidStrong recognizes the potential of kids and focuses on instilling confidence in them as they journey towards successful adulthood – a cornerstone of KidStrong’s comprehensive curriculum, anchored on three pillars: strong character, strong body and strong mind. Every class begins with KidStrong’s affirmation to provide reps of confidence at a young age; I am strong, I am brave, I can do this!
Alex and Marci Weisman along with John and Danielle Patriarca, Area Developers for KidStrong in Phoenix, are thrilled to be adding their third center to the area. “I initially saw KidStrong as a good way to support kids’ physical development, but it wasn’t until we observed the positive changes in our own children that my wife and I truly became true believers. Our daughter has shown massive improvement in emotional regulation, respectfulness, as well as athletic ability. We are so excited to share this with more parents!”, says Weisman.
KidStrong raises the bar for what kids’ activities should look like. With a focus on social-emotional and physical development, it teaches kids everything from public speaking to shaking hands to how to do a pull-up, how to make friends and building each kid’s confidence. The science-based programming takes kids through age-appropriate, action-packed 45-minute weekly classes. The programming includes input from experts in pediatric occupational therapy, child development, sports physiology, physical education and more. It helps kids develop important life skills and boost their confidence, setting them up for a solid foundation that will serve them throughout their lives.
“The greatest gift we can give our kids is the person we help them become,” says Matt Sharp, CEO and Founder of KidStrong. “I want to make it clear that KidStrong isn’t just for the kids. KidStrong has a focus on parent education and support as well, which can change a family’s life,” added Megin Sharp, Founder of KidStrong.
KidStrong is for ages walking through 11 years old. With locations currently open in North Scottsdale (31313 N. Scottsdale Rd.) and Gilbert (3133 S. Lindsay Rd.), KidStrong is excited to announce that they will be opening a Paradise Valley location in the near future, to be located at 4603 E. Cactus Rd.
