Many programs promise transformation, but few back it with data. At Fit Kids, we’re committed to rigorous assessment, continuous learning, and transparency. Our efficacy efforts help us:
Fit Kids helps children improve their cardiovascular fitness, strength, flexibility, and overall physical condition.
Children participating in Fit Kids report increased self-esteem, better mood regulation, and reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Fit Kids encourages lifelong habits of health and fitness, including positive choices related to nutrition, exercise, and wellness.
Fit Kids helps children understand the connection between their physical health and their concentration, memory, and academic performance.
Fit Kids works to ensure that all children, regardless of their socioeconomic background, have the chance to participate in structured physical activities.
Fit Kids helps children develop teamwork, leadership, and social interaction skills.
Fit Kids conducts surveys over the course of each school year to collect data from our partners in order to measure student outcomes. Based on our year end survey in May 2025, we collected the following data that provides a snapshot of how and when our program is used.
These results reflect the consistency and breadth of the program’s effects across multiple domains: physical, emotional, social, and overall. The high percentages in enjoyment, SEL, and movement affinity underscore that Fit Kids is not only effective, but engaging.
Because of this program, I’ve noticed a great number of students have reduced feelings of depression and stress, while improving overall mood and emotional well-being.”
