Developed by dedicated specialists working full-time with thousands of children in Asia since 1986 to support the pre-school establishment towards meeting the physical development needs of the young pre-school child, the “GymKidz Goes to School” mobile pre-school gym programme was launched in May 2006 in Singapore.
As of July 2010, more than 5,000 pre-school children in 90 schools attend GymKidz sessions weekly.
The GymKidz Programme provides the environment and positive experience for the child to develop Axial, Balance, Coordination, Loco-motor, Manipulative, Postural and Strength motor skills through fun and challenging activities on purpose-built child-appropriate equipment.
