Parents' Testimonials
“So far, Fit-Kids has helped my children and I make better lifestyle choices. We all go to the
grocery together and buy more healthy foods as opposed to the junk food we had been eating. We also
try to get more physical activity in our schedule daily. The children and I make better choices
about snaking. The instructors at Fit-Kids have helped us as parents, easy snacks to make for the
kids. They have also provided us with many recipes to try at home. They have taught us about the
important of each food group and what it does to help our body. They also teach different ways to
get physical activity with your children. The parent group has helped me, and other parents learn
different things about our children. I look forward to completing the program and changing our
lifestyle.” - Tanya Dawes
“Our family has been impacted with fitness, fun, and healthy food choices. We have discovered a way
of life that all ages can do and understand. My kids are trying and enjoying foods they have turned
their noses up to in the past. They run and jump, play, and are active. They live.” - Kim Schade
“The program as helped me and my kids learn more about better choice foods. It has been very
informative. My kids look forward to coming to Fit-Kids. It has helped me make better choices at the
grocery. We have tried new foods that are better for us. Thank you for the program.” - Debbie Smith
“The program is very kid friendly. Provides an educational opportunity in an environment that is fun
and exciting for them. The parents also have the opportunity to share useful experiences. The
nutritional facts are presented in a format that the children enjoy, remember, and use in daily life
choices.” - Jayne Jansen
“Fit-Kids has helped me and my family work as a “team” to be healthy. My daughter helps with the
grocery shopping and enjoys trying new foods. At home, we are active together having fun instead of
trying to find a sitter at the last minute. My 4 year child is picking up better eating habits
without even knowing about it. He’s eating grilled shrimp and steamed broccoli vs. corndogs and
macaroni & cheese. My daughter and I value the time together in class, it’s a time for just the two
of us.” - Elizabeth Baumch
“The program builds a foundation of knowledge for both parent and child. Over the course all my
children have begun to look at things differently – how we eat, what we buy, and how active we are
as a family. Overall health not just weight loss is the focus and it is a positive message to all
members of our family. I am glad we participated in the program.” - Kara Evans
“The Fit-Kids program has been a very good experience for myself and my two children. We are
learning things about nutrition and about exercise that we never knew. The kids love coming for the
snacks and the playtime (exercise). Life as we knew it has since changed. We really are having fun
and learning at the same time.” - Laurie Jarrett
“Learned new and exciting recipe’s.” “Feel better after eating nutritious meals rather than eating
out.” “Eating and exercising is a family must!” “Hands on activities for the children are
wonderful.” “Sessions with Dr. Catt are all informative and fun.” “Learning different information
each week and trying to accomplish the family goals was fun to do.” - Carol Oetken
“We have, as a family, been made aware of good food choices. We now know “why” certain foods are
good choices and continue to apply lessons every-day. The kids really buy into the program and are
constantly aware of the foods they eat.” - Dan Smith
“The Fit Kid Program was very well received by my son who is 8 years old. He is now reading labels
and making healthy choices as opposed to me as his parent making the choices for him. He also
realized that he is not the only child that struggles with his weight and food choices. We as a
family have a really good start in being a strong, healthy, fit family.” - Suzanne Caraway

alternatives for snacks, meals, and smoothies. As a parent it has changed to the whole grocery
shopping experience. Fruits Rule / Veggies Rock! Go Fit Kids. We Love You.” - Lovely Family

well and giving her the tools of making better choices.” - Fit-Kids Parent

things we have learned each week. We may not have been able to do everything all at once but we have
basics that we can work with going forward.” - Kara Evans
