“HIP'nFIT FUN CLUB!” offers several programs that raise FITNESS and NUTRITION awareness.  Obesity and the Juvenile Diabetes epidemic in our country can be stopped as we educate our youth on the importance of eating healthily and exercising regularly. And we now are offering classes for adults, worksite wellness, seniors and the physically challenged...

We offer several unique programs:

THE SHOW

- a 45 minute 'edu-tainment' show for kids addressing healthy food choices and exercise. This high-energy interactive show, geared for children grades K-5, features four multi-cultural performers who sing, dance and do fun, informative parodies about the benefits of healthy food choices and exercise. Click here to meet the CAST and see what people are saying about us!

Here is our promotional video so you can see what we do:

A rap-inspired urban version of ‘The Tortoise and the Hare’ pits Fast Eddie against Slow ‘n Steady. Kids get advice from "wrapper" Whole Grain D-Wayne and a special appearance by fitness superstar Brocklee Spears. They really raise the roof along with nutrition and fitness awareness! There is even a game show, “Let’s Make a Meal!” that gets kids in the act as contestants to create a balanced menu. Fun for teachers, too! After the show, kids take home a brochure to share with parents with a HEALTHY CHOICE CONTRACT (in English and Spanish) to pledge a commitment to a healthier lifestyle. Click here for more info

THE RESIDENCY PROGRAM

- available for schools, camps, and children's organizations as a once or twice weekly 30 minute FUN CLUB class for 8 weeks.

The RESIDENCY PROGRAM consists of:

THE 30 MINUTE FUN CLUB CLASS - this aerobic-style  exercise class gets kids (of all ages!) movin' and groovin' to great music, all the while strengthening cardiovascular function.Kids also learn the Hip'nFit Fun Club dance that the cast does in the show.  Performing the "Hip'nFit" dance at the end of the class gives a sense of accomplishment, but its' not a dance class, so no pressure!  The only rule is "You can't stop moving!" 

FITNESS FORUM - discussions that touch on a different fitness focus each week., based on the Hip'nFit Fun Club! Show. We also have an important PARENT INVOLVEMENT COMPONENT that is a winner! Please contact us for weekly topic descriptions.

THE RESIDENCY PROGRAM is great for schools, church organizations, etc.  We also offer it as a one-on-one PRIVATE RESIDENCY workshop for you and your children in your own home!  We'll guide you and your children safely and effectively so that you can become your own Hip'nFit Healthy Family Team!

WORKSITE WELLNESS, SENIORS, PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED

"AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 WAYS"

- We also offer a 'sit and be fit' style class called "Around the World in 80 Ways!" We 'travel' around the country and the world to far away, exotic locales using music from all over the world.   Currently we  work with United Cerebral Palsy with both the Children's and Adult Programs.  This class is also a great SENIOR FITNESS CLASS for Senior Citizen Residential Communities. Our advanced level is a great for Worksite Wellness programs. We're HIP. And we make it fun to be FIT!

MEET OUR 'HIP'nFIT FUN CLUB!' FACILITATORS:

Kristin Warren

"Kids today deserve and need a fun way to exercise their bodies and learn about healthy living habits.  Hip'n Fit Fun Club is the perfect tool to get kids excited about physical fitness, and a wonderful way to create healthy body image and self esteem.  The kids participating get a great work-out, but they see it as just having FUN!" - Kristin Warren

Paul Moore

"I firmly believe that children need a stronger understanding of health and fitness in their everyday lives.  Hip'nFit Fun Club illustrates healthy habits and encourages younger generations to adopt them. This is important in fighting the vast array of nutrition and fitness related issues that plague many Americans in this day and age." - Paul Moore

Cherita Judson

"As an educator, dance instructor, and mother I am a steadfast advocate for children.  I strongly believe that a healthy body yields a healthy mind, and that organized physical play is necessary for a successful academic day.  The "Hip'nFit Fun Club " embodies these truisms and more.  Through music and dance, "Hip'nFit Fun Club!" offers young America an artistic way to get in shape.  I am excited to do the important work of assisting children’s healthy development." - Cherita Judson

Kristin Clark

"As the mother of a son who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes three years ago, I've learned first-hand the important roles that good nutrition and physical fitness play in our lives.  Eating the right foods and exercise are essential to being healthy and happy.  My goal is to share with others that healthy foods can and do taste good and that exercise is fun and takes many forms other than working out in a gym." - Kristin Clark

Mindi Ritthaler

"Having just completed two contracts as a dancer on a cruise ship, making sure I got the right amount of vitamins and nutritional value out of what I ate, effected how I performed on stage and how I felt physically and emotionally offstage.  Clearly seeing the value of a healthy diet and how it effects your energy gives me a strong desire to share it with others, and what better way to do it than through the "Hip 'n Fit Fun Club" helping children make good choices for happy healthy bodies!" - Mindi Ritthaler

Laura Thorsten

“The first wealth is health” said Ralph Waldo Emerson.  With a B.S. in Health Education and a M.Ed. in Counseling, health and wellness have long been important focuses in my life.  I strive to help my own children, as well as children everywhere, learn to make good choices for optimal health.   We all have an obligation, in my opinion, to care about the wellness of our young; they will all-too-soon be the people who need the wisdom, strength and vitality to carry our world forward.  Our classes facilitate such important learning in a fun and easy way that children happily respond to, and I am proud to part of our great team!" - Laura Thorsten
