KidShape teaches self-defense in a health-hostile world.
It’s no secret that America’s children are facing a health crisis caused by an unprecedented obesity epidemic. KidShape can help. We empower entire families to eat healthy, move more, and feel good. We encourage the mind, body, and spirit. We provide practical kid-friendly tools to help turn information about healthy eating and physical activity into action. More than 12,000 kids and their families have graduated from KidShape. 87% of those have lost weight, and 80% of those who lost weight have kept it off for at least two years.
