You asked, we answered
Need assistance? The team at Fit and Funky Kids has compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions below. If you can’t find the answer you're looking for or need further help, feel free to reach out anytime.
​
What is Fit and Funky?
Our clubs are an alternative to main stream sports. Our core aims are to provide kids with a way to try new activities with a focus on self improvement, learning, fun and a little bit of silliness.
By giving kids the chance to try out new things in a non competitive environment we are able to see every child improve and build their confidence.
​
What activities do you do?
A little bit of everything, in our Athenry club yesterday the kids did the following activities gymnastics, basketball skills, long jump, ribbon twirling, boxercise, volleyball, monkey tag and the now legendary game Don't get hit in the face! All of our activities are adjusted for age and ability.
Every part of our clubs are designed to challenge the kids in a fun and accessible way. A clear example of this is the Big High 5 which is a popular yet very simple way to finish a class, challenge everyone at their own level and leave the kids feeling accomplished.
​
My child has/is/isn't able to?
Between 16 and 20% of our kids have some type of additional need. We try to take everyone but are not always able to met every child's needs in our mainstream classes. If you would like your child to take part just send us a message and one of the team will be happy to discuss it with you.
If we don't feel we can provide a safe environment for your child we can provide our classes through your child's school and would be happy to discuss this with them in further detail.
​
Help I can't make my booking?
We understand that life sometimes gets in the way. If you are not able to attend a booking we are happy to put your booking on hold and put you back in when are you able to attend again. Just get in touch with your instructor and they will look after you.
​
Our class was postponed, what happens now?
On rare occasions we may need to adjust/postpone or change a class. In this instance we will always provide a backup class to make up for it. If for any reason you are unable to attend the back up class you will be provided with a credit on your account to use on another class.
​
My child is shy/nervous can we try it out?
Your child is more than welcome in class. We don't feel that attending one class is the best way to do this. Our team is very good at settling new kids in and over the space of a few classes we will see them start to relax and build up their skills and confidence.
​
This all sounds great can you start a new club in my area?
We are currently building a training programme for new staff members and will look to start new clubs from this September. If you think you could be a Fit and Funky instructor get in touch through our website and we will be happy to discuss the details with you.
There is nothing quite like Fit and Funky anywhere in the country.
Our clubs have been making a difference in kids lives across Galway and we are only just getting started.
Thanks for your time and we look forward to seeing you in class in the future.
