“Keep up the good work! The Ronald McDonald Family Room really helped me through this traumatic time. Our friends and family live quite far away and can’t really make it out here very frequently so this made it a lot more comfortable.”

SmartMoovz
“Helping build a healthier tomorrow. One kid at a time.”

Our Mission

The mission of Smartmoovz®, is to positively impact the lives of children and adolescents by promoting health and fitness through physical activity.

Our Approach

Our team of trained volunteers can help you create and implement a customized kid’s fitness program that works for your school or organization. SmartMoovz promotes health and fitness in children in a fun and educational way. The workshops are designed using a safe medical and fitness foundation that includes a warm-up and a cool down, but requires no additional equipment. 

There are 3 components to a Smartmoovz activity enrichment program: fitness, education and challenge.  Designing your own program takes 3 simple steps:

  •  Complete a SmartMoovz request form
  •  SmartMoovz Coordinator will design your program
  •  SmartMoovz Coordinator will provide you with program materials
