I cannot say enough about Kids Fit Zone. My kids have been going here for a little over 3 years. The after school program is amazing! They have homework time, free play time, and fitness hour. The coaches are amazing, caring, and really love the kids as if they were their own. We have a 13, 10, and 7 year old that attend! Great for ALL ages!

I really didn't want my son to be watching his I pad or TV over summer and was searching for a summer camp that looked fun. I cam across kids fit zone and after some heavy convincing he agreed to try it! Day 1 I was so nervous but he came home completely tired and with the biggest smile on his face. Then day 2 same thing. They have this app that they use and keeps you in the loop all Fay long.

I get at least 5 pictures a day and today he actually got mad that we picked him up. The communication is top notch. I in passing expressed disappointment in something and got an email from the director

My oldest began here once she started Kindergarten in the after school program. Now both my kids go here! I cannot say enough good things about Steve, Ms. Car, Ms. Gabi, Ms Rocki and the rest of the staff here that have spent time caring for my children. Once the pandemic hit they became everything for the families that attended the program. They have navigated the health and safety regulations while taking on full-time distance learning with the kids. My kids are so excited to come here everyday and never want to leave! They are always staying active and engaged through sports, games, and educational
