Dorset based company FitKid, launched a special plea for 2008, to help combat the frightening new government statistics on UK childhood obesity which are estimated to be as high as a quarter of all children being obese by the year 2050.

Following recent public interest and government concern over child health and obesity, FitKid is determined to make a difference to Children’s lives.  Since conception 17 years ago, FITKID has gone from strength to strength, thus leading in late 2006 to the introduction of this nationwide franchise opportunity for those wishing to teach fun fitness classes to Children from 18 months upwards. The franchise operation enables franchisees to boast great support from FITKID in terms of branding, marketing, training, and operations to name a few, enabling franchisees to have all the tools in place to grow their business.

Nicky Kay, Development Manager at FITKID is looking forward to expanding the franchise operations to enable more Children to participate in fun fitness classes. “Over recent years our organisation has grown and grown. Working with the Children’s’ television channel, Nickelodeon on their mini movers campaign which is aired every morning on Nick junior has emphasised to us the need for fun fitness ideas for kids. Parents are crying out for assistance and it is fantastic that we can help. This latest project has enhanced our image and given children more awareness of keeping fit and healthy. The government figures released on child obesity have been alarming but parents should know that there are always ways to ensure their child’s health for the future. By increasing the number of FitKid franchisees across the UK, we hope to reduce the growing problem of Childhood obesity, increase awareness of the issues, offer kids a fun solution to getting active with their friends as well as inform and offer parents more choices for their Children’s fitness.”

The FitKid franchise is a comprehensive package which includes onsite training including a national qualification, fun fitness equipment and FitKid merchandise.  There is extensive market opportunity for the right people who want to develop a business in this fast expanding area of Children’s fitness. Now is the time to set up a FitKid franchise to help encourage Children to have fun and exercise at the same time. 

Nicky Kay, FitKid’s Managing Director who has been coaching Children for over 15 years has been working with new franchisees to get them ready for their launch.   

“It’s fantastic to work with our new franchisees to pass on my experience to assist them in the set up of their business, Our franchisees have completed FitKid’s intensive training including a qualification, have gone through a CRB check and are now ready to run fun sessions for children throughout their franchise zones.”

The FitKid Franchise supports government initiatives to improve child fitness. FitKid achieves this by making active play a priority and most importantly, enjoyable.
