Nope, you’ll be up and moving every week.  We’ve got a whole bunch of activities for different age groups. You could end up playing musical statues or being led through a home workout. We want to help you get moving! 

Children must be accompanied by a parent or carer. Plus, the whole family is welcome (and encouraged) to attend. Parents and carers often come away having learned just as much as the children! 

We never judge.  Raising a healthy family is hard, and we’re all doing our best. We’re not here to judge you – we’re here to help you!

Our top priority is your child’s physical and mental health. We don’t focus on weight, and NEVER use the “f” word. We promote positive body image in all the children we work with. 

We don’t put children on damaging diets or force them to exercise. Instead, we guide them towards finding healthy foods they like, educate them on how to eat a balanced diet (which includes yummy treats in the right amounts!), and to find joy in movement. We’re all about giving the whole family healthy habits that last a lifetime. 

It depends on what fits into your family routine best. All of our programmes are run by the same expert team of family wellbeing specialists and nutritionists. 

The activity session is the main difference – online participants will play games like musical statues or be led through home workouts, whereas the in-person participants will play team games like dodgeball or take part in activities like archery. 

Whichever option you choose, you will be given a dedicated family nutritionist, and have the chance to connect with other families on your course.
