Play Based Fitness

Play. Faith. Fitness.

At the heart of everything we do is the belief that children are wonderfully made—body, mind, and spirit. Inspired by 1 Corinthians 6:19, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?”, our mission is to help children honor God by joyfully caring for the bodies He has given them.

I am a Recess & Results Certified Instructor with a deep love for both faith and fitness, and a passion for helping children thrive through movement, play, and connection. Our group-based play classes are designed to feel like the best parts of recess—fun, engaging, and relational—while intentionally building strength, coordination, confidence, and healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

Why Play-Based Fitness?

Children were created to move. Through structured play, games, and age-appropriate fitness activities, kids learn:

  • To enjoy movement rather than fear it

  • To work together, encourage one another, and build friendships

  • To develop physical strength, balance, and endurance

  • To grow confidence in what their bodies can do

Play is not just fun—it’s foundational. When movement is joyful, children naturally develop a positive relationship with exercise and health.

Faith at the Foundation

Faith is woven into the heart of our program—not forced, but lovingly integrated. We emphasize:

  • Gratitude for our bodies as God’s creation

  • Respect for ourselves and others

  • Self-discipline, perseverance, and joy

  • Understanding that caring for our bodies is an act of worship

Our classes create a safe, uplifting environment where children are encouraged to grow physically while being reminded of their God-given worth.

Our Mission

Our mission is to equip children with healthy habits, strong bodies, joyful hearts, and a faith-filled perspective, all through group play and movement. We believe fitness should be fun, faith should be lived out daily, and children should leave each class feeling encouraged, accomplished, and excited to move.

This is more than a class—it’s a community where children learn to love movement, honor God with their bodies, and experience the joy of play the way it was meant to be.

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?

1 Corinthians 6:19

About Kristen

Hi, I’m Kristen—a wife, mom of two amazing daughters, and a passionate believer in the power of faith, movement, and play. I love the Lord and have a deep heart for helping children grow strong, confident, and healthy—inside and out.

As a Recess & Results Certified Instructor, I combine my love for health and fitness with my faith to create joyful, play-based group classes for children. I believe movement should be fun, encouraging, and purposeful, and that caring for our bodies is one way we honor God.

Being a mom has shaped the way I teach. I understand how important it is for children to feel safe, supported, and celebrated. My goal is to create an environment where kids can move freely, build confidence, work together, and develop healthy habits that serve them for life—all while being reminded of their God-given worth.

Faith, family, and fitness are at the core of everything I do, and it’s a joy to walk alongside families as their children learn to love movement and grow in strength and character.
