We guarantee that there’s tons of it. Anyone can do the moves and it's easy to get them right. Plus, there’s new music and moves every few months, so it's always changing!

  • IT’S SOCIAL

    Everything is more fun with friends – bring your friends or make new ones! You'll gain strength and confidence from exercising in a group and feel motivated to push yourself just that little bit further.

  • IT HAS COOL MUSIC

    Rudimental, Katy Perry, One Direction and AfroJack ... this is just taste of the track list.

WHY PARENTS OF 8-12 YEAR OLDS LOVE BORN TO MOVE

  • IT MOVES BODIES AND MINDS

    Dancing, punching, kicking, core training, yoga and more… Featuring moves from eight movement categories this class helps develop a wide variety of motor skills. Your child will improve coordination, build endurance and strength, increase flexibility, relax and have loads of fun. It doesn't matter if they are involved in sport or not – the moves are easy to follow and will develop skills that set them up for a lifetime of physical activity.

  • HIGHLY-TRAINED TEACHERS

    BORN TO MOVE teachers undergo an extensive training, assessment and certification process. They are trained in child development, the child-centered teaching model, and how to keep children stimulated and engaged with compassion and kindness. Teachers regularly receive fresh music and choreography. This new class content is always extensively tested by our harshest critics – kids themselves – to be sure it’s fun and safe.

  • STRUCTURE

    BORN TO MOVE provides structured, fun fitness classes your child will love. There are objectives and learning outcomes for each class, but your child will be having too much fun to notice that they are learning – it’s also a great way for you to have some guilt-free 'me time'!
