KidStrong

KidStrong is a children’s fitness and development company founded in 2015 by Matt and Megin Sharp in Lexington, Kentucky. The company offers 45-minute classes that blend fitness games with cognitive and character-building activities for children walking through age 11. The curriculum is developed with input from experts in occupational therapy, sports performance, and child development, focusing on skills like balance, coordination, strength, and emotional growth. Operating primarily through a franchise model, KidStrong has expanded rapidly since starting franchising in 2018, with over 160 locations serving more than 65,000 kids weekly across the US and Canada. The program emphasizes family involvement and character development, creating a supportive environment led by specially trained coaches. KidStrong aims to help children build confidence and reach their full potential through engaging, play-based learning.
