Fitwize is amazing! Our child started going there for tumbling, and immediately fell in love with the sport. They make it fun AND help grow skills! Then, the after school program makes for an added bonus – perfect mix of school work, learning to be a good member of the community, fitness, health and fun. Everyone on staff at Fitwize is wonderful to both the kids and parents! We are so grateful for Fitwize and highly recommend to anyone for tumbling, after school or camps – they will not disappoint!

We have been going there for four years and my daughter absolutely loves it. Her goal is to be a junior counselor when she gets a little older. The staff there are phenomenal and always keep the kids entertained. Awesome program!!

Fitwize is a great summer camp and after school program. They have great staff members, and they really encourage kids to be the best versions of their selves.

Our daughters have been enrolled at Fitwize for the past three years. They take tumbling classes, are enrolled in the after-school program and attend summer camps. We cannot say enough great things about all three programs! When searching for after-care, we learned that Fitwize offered structured daily physical time, frequent nutrition activities and opportunities to participate in community service. No other program could even come close! We have been extremely satisfied with the quality of offerings and planning that goes into running this great program. Kudos to Mr. Bernstein! Additionally, my children have daily homework time and a healthy snack. They are happy every day when we pick them up!

A huge part of this is the staff who truly care about the well-being of every child. From the van drivers who build strong relationships with the children (yay Ms. Robin), to the staff leading games and supervising outdoor play, my children have liked every member of the Fitwize staff. The front desk staff is very friendly and we are always greeted with a smile and good service.

Regarding tumbling, Mikey and Jess cannot be compared to the coaches at nearby gyms. They work individually with each child on their skill goals in a caring and supportive manner. My daughter’s growth impresses me at the end of each class. Private lessons are an awesome experience and Mikey provides expert coaching in a fun environment.

Our family highly recommends Fitwize! We look forward to many more years of entrusting the care of our children to this dedicated staff!

Out of all the different camps we tried this summer, this was my son’s favorite! Thank you for providing a safe, fun and engaging environment. We’ll definitely be back next year!

This place is incredible!!! The facilities are welcoming, clean, and the staff is absolutely amazing. Our daughter started earlier this year and we’ve seen such immense growth, not only in her passion for tumbling/gymnastics and her athleticism, but, also her confidence. Coach Mikey and Coach Jess are wonderful instructors. They are kind, patient, and truly passionate about what they do. They take a vested interest in helping every child learn the skills. Also, they emphasize the importance of not only having healthy bodies, but strong minds. Most importantly, they really strive to ensure that all children have fun and build self-confidence. The price is so reasonable (definitely worth it!) and our daughter is getting so much out of the classes. She had no tumbling experience when she first started and leaves each class feeling more and more encouraged to come back and improve and build on what she learned. We highly recommend to any other families looking for a gym for their children! We are so happy to have found Fitwize and have been enjoying our experience with this gym!

My kids can be hard to please but never once did they complain about Fitwize camp and were excited to take the field trips each week. We appreciate the Fitwize staff for being exceptionally organized and communicative!

Willaim W.
This was an excellent choice for my daughter to participate in the program they have there. She’s getting better at the gymnastic fundamentals through the classes held by Coach Mikey but more importantly, she’s really having a lot of fun!! Highly recommend!

Julie T.
My daughter responded to Girls Camp like I have never seen her enjoy a camp before. She was noticeably more confident and happy with who she is throughout the week. She really bonded with, and responded to, the main instructor and has such positive memories of this week of camp.

We have been coming to Fitwize for years, both for after school care and their summer camp programs.  Fitwize is a wonderful place to be; the counselors truly care about the children, and my kids absolutely love the variety of fun and engaging activities available.  Fitwize does a great job teaching children the importance of health and fitness, and connecting them to the community.  There truly is something for everyone, with many different special activities to take part in (our favorite – Run Club!)  We will continue to highly recommend Fitwize to all of our friends as a top local choice for not just child care, but more importantly, child development.

My daughter absolutely loved the camps at Fitwize!  This was her first camp experience and was excited to go every day.  The counselors were so kind and sweet with her, it was so well organized, and had fabulous field trips.  We will definitely be returning next summer!

My kids enjoyed the camp and making new friends.

The Fitwize coaches did an amazing job for Catherine’s birthday!  She had a blast, as well as her friends.  Several parents came up to me to say what a great job Fitwize did. Thanks to you and your team!

Melina A.
Fitwize! They have great summer programs!

Susan W.
Both of my kids went through Fitwize and loved everyone there and the summer camps. They focus on body and soul! ❤️❤️❤️

Brittany W.
The teachers have been absolute saints – toddlers are NOT easy to teach. 🙂 We have loved the gymnastics but also the lessons in following directions that the boys are learning every week.

A big thank you to Mr. Bernstein for running the Fiesta 5K with Matthew!  He encouraged him the whole way, and Matthew placed third in his age group! Matthew and Andrew had so much fun representing the Fitwize Running Club at this race, seeing friends, and being cheered on by their favorite coach!

We’ve been doing Mini Gym since it opened a few months ago. It’s been fabulous. Every. Single. Time. The instructors are wonderful and thoughtful and intentional with all of the stations each week. We couldn’t love it more.

My 4 year old son LOVES fitwize! I was a little worried at first because he’s on the spectrum, but Lexi and Jess are AMAZING at helping him out and making sure he has a good time. They’re so flexible and understanding and they clearly show a passion for working with kids of all abilities. They’re so inclusive, it’s just so wonderful to have a great place to take him to work on his balance without having the pressure of a competitive environment. I can’t thank you all enough. It’s not always easy to find a place that’s accommodating of neurodiverse kids, but you have it down to a T! Management – please give Lexi and Jess raises. They are so deserving of it!!

We were not impressed at all with LG, but we LOVE Fitwize 4 Kids Ashburn.

Fitwize is like a second home for my family.  The team genuinely cares about the well-being of my children, challenges them to learn, and I know they are in great hands when I drop them off.

We love Fitwize 4 Kids.

Great for both the kids and adults!

I did want to pass along a note to say what a great 3-weeks Amelia has had at Fitwize so far this summer.  Great exposure to a variety of activities (zip-lining is still the super-star event), and the crafts.

I really appreciate the coordination. You’re always set for the parents’ sign-in each morning, with a great group of counselors welcoming the parents and the kids. The paper reminders for the next-day’s activities are great, supported by email reminders for really important highlights.

This is our first summer with Fitwize, and I was worried when I heard how many kids you can handle. Any fears have been allayed, and instead we look forward to each day’s events.

Thank you, thank you!

Before too much time passes I wanted to send my sincerest thanks and praise for the girls and women who put their hearts into the girls camp this week. Genevieve LOVED her time there and got more comfortable every day – she’s been poring over her crafts tonight and teaching us everything she learned, and we are so impressed by the lessons she’s learning so young. You all did a fantastic job – she can’t wait to come back.

Personal thanks to Hope, who comforted both of us after an uncomfortable drop-off Monday morning – she did exactly what a worried mom wants and I left feeling like everything would be fine.

Just can’t say enough how grateful we are for the time and energy that obviously went into planning this week. Thank you, and cheers to a much deserved holiday weekend for all.

Karen Mitchell runs a remarkable fitness, social responsibility and healthy eating program for after school and Summer Camp at Fitwize. Our son, a Newton Lee Elementary student, has been here for two years and we couldn’t be more pleased about his care.

Some of the counselors here are actual teachers at Loudoun County public schools. They focus on getting homework started in after care while feeding the children a healthy snack, usually fruit. They are dedicated, even attending 1 or 2 of our son’s extracurricular baseball games. My son loves the fitness games they play so much, he wants to play them at home. The counselors are also teaching good sportsmanship.

Additionally, we are pleased with the commitment to those less fortunate. The children bring in snacks and pack backpacks for other schoolchildren in need.

They make fun field trips during Summer Camp with constant supervision by counselors. I’m not worried about the outside play area in back ( used frequently for basketball courts) mentioned in an earlier post. The children are watched closely by adults who also play the games with them.

My husband and I highly recommend Fitwize4Kids.

This is our third year at Fitwize – I can’t say enough great things about the after-school, tumbling/cheer and summer camp programs! Our youngest began in the Kindergarten after-school enrichment program (so cute – those kids were like a little family!) and we haven’t looked back.

I love that I know my kids are getting a good snack, their homework done AND have at least an hour of running around (whether it be organized activities like Zumba, group fitness, circuit training, or getting to jump rope, play wall ball or basketball) after a full day at school. They make exercise fun for the kids, and they always leave with a smile on their faces!

Karen and her entire staff are fantastic – my kids really look up to all of them…and the teachers truly care about all of the children.

Two Major Improvements over the last year:

• They recently added on a great outdoor play area (disappointed in the review below about a “cage” in the parking lot…) where the kids can go out to play basketball, etc and enjoy the nice weather. The kids love it, it shakes the routine up a bit, and it gets them outside…all while being in a safe environment. What’s wrong with that??
• They DOUBLED the size of the gym by adding on a dedicated tumbling/cheer wing…which gives everyone more room to play, and gives the tumbling and cheer classes more space to work. It’s a huge air-conditioned space and the kids love it.
  I highly recommend Fitwize – my kids love it!

We can’t say enough great things about Fitwize4Kids and Karen Mitchell and her staff. My son was one of her very first after school program kids when she opened her doors in the Spring of 2011. My daughters were also two of her very first kids in the After-K enrichment program she runs for kindergartners in Loudoun County Ashburn-area elementary schools (where K is only half day).

Karen and her staff do an excellent job of keeping the kids engaged and giving them constant encouragement to challenge themselves to try new things. Safety is their top priority so I have never worried about my children while they were attending any classes or ASP programs.

My son has also been enrolled as a fitness member there, which frankly is like the best personal training time you could ever buy for your child. My son got one-on-one attention from her certified staff and really enjoyed going and being “pushed” to work hard.

Both of my daughters have been involved with her tumbling program as well which is very professionally run by some top notch coaches. The classes are also limited to 8 students so I always feel that my daughters are getting quality education and supervision when they are in their classes. They have learned so much and come so far in this very positive environment.

Lastly, I personally attend the adult bootcamp fitness classes and LOVE it. The instructor Kris Bernstein is fantastic and even though I”m always sore after class he pushes us in a very positive way and I’ve grown stronger and done things I never thought I’d be able to do – like real pushups.

In addition to running a fantastic business that really filled a niche in Ashburn, Karen always makes it a priority to give back to the community. She teaches the children to give back as well and that is one of the reasons we have continued to send referrals Karen’s way. We love being a part of the Fitwize family and couldn’t imagine our children’s lives without Karen and her crew in them. Thank you so much Fitwize4Kids Ashburn!
