About Kinder Fit!

Founder and creator of the Kinder Fit program, Shannon LaPorte, launched Kinder Fit in 1992 through her background and experience in Elementary Education, fitness, nutrition, and her love for children. After attending Oklahoma State University, where she majored in Elementary Education and studied nutrition, Shannon began working at Nutri/System as a Nutritional Specialist. Using the skills and knowledge she obtained through her work at Nutri/System, she was able to manage a fitness club, teach aerobics, and train one-on-one with individuals as a personal trainer. The combined experienced Shannon obtained from the various facets of the fitness and health industry allowed her to develop a program directed towards a population she was passionate about.

Kinder Fit is a developmental program designed to help children work on motor skills, cognitive skills, social skills and physical development through age-appropriate lesson plans. Our goal through Kinder Fit is to have children enjoy working on the aforementioned skills and become more aware of the importance of living an active lifestyle which can lead to increased energy, weight management, and higher self-esteem- all while having fun! Our hope is that extending the Kinder Fit program to as many children possible will instill in them the joy and fulfillment of living a fitness-oriented life.

We look forward to a healthy, happy year with your child!
