Our Story

Fit Kids is a 501(c)3 non-profit that provides structured physical fitness activities to underserved youth. Executive Director Ashley Hunter founded Fit Kids in January 2011, and the organization now impacts more than 20,000 elementary school age children through more than 100 sites.
Physical activity at a young age is essential to children’s long-term fitness, including their mental and emotional health. Yet, too many children in underserved communities miss out on structured physical activity, due to school budget cuts, unaffordable organized youth sports programs, and a scarcity of safe places to play.
Please watch the video below to see how Fit Kids fills the fitness opportunity gap with structured programs that include hundreds of different exercises, games, and fun activities that get kids moving, help them fall in love with fitness, and set them up for successful, healthy futures.
