A fun day in Kent for The LazyTown Sports Club Team

Terese had fun in Kent with Sportacus 

Terese had a very exciting day on monday when Sportacus flew into Kent for a special guest appearance at Sencio Leisure Centre’s in Swanley, Sevenoaks and Edenbridge, he came and entertained the children with all his amazing acrobatics. She said it was great to see the big smiles on the children’s faces as they got to meet their favourite superhero and was so excited to be taught superhero moves from Sportacus himself it really did make their day. She is looking forward to seeing the children at the LazyTown Sports Club classes throughout the summer to learn more of sportacus’s superhero moves.

Adele’s sessions help Boe win all her Sports day races

Boe loves The LazyTown Sports Club classes delivered by Adele in NE Lincolnshire

It was lovely to hear from Adele today who had received the following email from one of the parents who attends her LazyTown Sports club classes with her daughter.

“My daughter, Boe age 3, has been attending Lazy Town Sports Club classes every Saturday morning after enjoying the ‘Lazy Town’ celebration I booked for her 3rd birthday. Boe has made lots of new friends and really enjoys all of the varied and enjoyable activities which are accompanied by the exciting Lazy Town music.

Boe’s confidence has grown each week and I have seen an improvement in her balance, co-ordination and ability to play/share with other children. Boe’s Kindergarten teacher has also commented about Boe’s advanced sporting abilities compared to the other children in her class and explained how Boe helps to teach her class mates how to play the games and use equipment that she has learnt with Adele. Boe has even come first in all of the activities in her recent Sports Day which I believe was helped by the extra activities that she does with Adele every week. “Ria McKeon

Keep up the great work Adele, high quality sessions are the key to successs in helping children lead an active lifestyle. I just knew when Adele came onboard with FitKid as our franchisee in Lincolnshire that she was going to make positive changes to children’s lives.

Our job is so rewarding and worth all the time and effort put in to ensure the children attend sesisons which are both beneficial to their health but also fun and engaging.

If you are a passionate individual who like Adele wants to make positive changes to children’s lives, please email enquiries@fitkid.co.uk to find out how you can get involved in your community.

Race for Life warm up was a great success

I am so proud of the extra work our franchisees put in to assist charities in their locations. Yesterday, Karina warmed up the crowd for The Race for Life fundraising event in Shrewsbury.

We are all aware of the great work carried out by Cancer Research UK and the progress they have made to date.  I was very pleased to hear that Karina was assisting with the fundraising for more research in to Cancer as I lost my friend from Breast Cancer last year, she was only 37 years old and mum to two young children, it was a very sad time for her, and her family and friends.

Yesterday in Shrewsbury two thousand women and children dressed in pink met to walk, run or jog the 5K ‘Race for Life’.  The Race for Life raises money for Cancer Research UK and takes place very year at hundreds of locations all over the UK.  Today was Shrewsbury’s turn.  Karina Davies, who runs the LazyTown Sports Club in Shrewsbury took the lead for the warm-up activity getting everyone ready for the race.  She was joined on stage by 5 amazing members of the LazyTown Sports Club from Minsterley Primary School.  The five children aged 5-8 attend the afterschool club every week and volunteered themselves for the event.  Karina reports ‘my volunteers were brilliant, it was such an honour to be able to share the stage with them, I hope they are feeling very proud of themselves’   The fifteen minute warm-up saw a sea of pink crowds moving to the Sports Club favourites routines including the Pirate warmup of course.  Watch this space to see the photo’s from the event, and hopefully we’ll get to see some video footage too.

Well done Karina, the feedback I have received has been great.

Talking when being Silent for #ComicRelief does mean Penalties have to be paid…

Simon is finding out that raising money for a great charity whilst being silent is not actually the easiest thing in the World!

He is now in to the fourth hour of the 12 hour challenge and the penalty charge of star jumps for speaking is starting to hurt a little.

In true FitKid spirit, the penalty for speaking is exercise. So, he gets to raise money while keeping quiet and exercising.

Every time he says something he has to do 10 additional star jump on top of the 10 he had to do the first time he spoke!

He is now up to 50 star jumps the next time he speaks.

That could become hard work by 7pm when he can stop and enjoy the show. We may have to impose financial penalties to make his life easier.

Go Go Go Karina

I have to tell you again how proud I am to recieve an email through our website today, telling us how Karina delivered a great LazyTown Sports Club Celebration.

The hard work and dedication that Karina has put in to her franchise, shines thorugh when she receives great feedback as below. Well done Karina

I really enjoy working with franchisees who are committed to the brands and want to make a difference to children’s lives. Sadly there are too many people working with children who have no passion and enthusiam and don’t want to be in their jobs, personally I think they need to find a new career fast However I can put my hand on my heart and say that Karina is not one of these people

Read the great feedback below -

I just wanted to feed back how absolutely thrilled I am with Karina Davies who entertained at mu daughter’s 3rd birthday today.  Karina entertained 25 3 year olds and she absolutely made the party! I don’t think there was one parent who didn’t comment to me what a fabulous entertainer Karina was, plus how amazed they were that she was able to control so many children for a whole hour. The children stayed incredibly engaged for the whole time. Karina exudes energy and is completely professional.  The children clearly loved her.  I am absolutely delighted that we decided to have Karina as our entertainment.  Catriona, Shropshire.

Coem and join our team, email us at enquiries@fitkid.co.uk

Karina receives further fantastic reviews on her LazyTown Sports Club Classes

I had to tell you all about another proud moment today when I received an email from Karina, my franchisee in Shropshire who is doing fantastic work at a local nursery.

The children at Hillside Nursery attend a weekly LazyTown Sports Club with Karina Davies in Shrewsbury.  Their favourite activity is the Pirate Routine, here are a few photo’s of rowing the pirate boat and sorting the treasure. 

Janet Phillips who is the Manager at Hillside House Nursery quoted “‘Karina has been coming to Hillside House Nursery in Shrewsbury since October 2010 to deliver an hour’s activity session with the LazyTown Sports Club.  I have always encouraged a huge sense of fun at Hillside and we have been delighted by the reaction from our Pre-School children week on week, they absolutely love the activity.  The enthusiasm that Karina puts into every session is infectious, and I watch every child leaping around the room with huge smiles on their faces. Not only are they having an opportunity to get active and exercise during the session, Karina also includes a health related message from Sportacus every week which the children can colour in and keep.  I would highly recommend that pre-school providers in Shrewsbury make contact with Karina to book these sessions.  I wish Karina every success for the future of FitKid Shrewsbury, the commitment that Karina is making to increase the activity levels of children is commendable.’

Karina also attends other Nurseries in Shrewsbury and is actively looking for more sessions.  If you work at a Nursery in Shrewsbury or your child attends one, please ask the owner/manager get in contact.  Karina is happy to offer a free session for any nursery who enquires about the sessions.  Karina can be contacted on karina@fitkid.co.uk or 08445 6060432.
