More information
FitSchool program is implemented in elementary schools, kindergartens and other educational institutions. It helps teachers conduct attractive physical education lessons for children (students). The FitSchool program helps to introduce intramural physical activity.
How does the FitSchool program work? The teacher launches a training video, and the children exercise by imitating the movements of a virtual trainer. The workout can last 3, 8 or 30 minutes. Are you curious what sample workouts for children look like? Check out the trainings
The FitSchool program also provides teacher training to support staff education. It provides additional educational materials on dietetics and teaching methodology, as well as inspiration for teachers. Participate in the trainings and gain valuable knowledge and certificates.

The Medicover Foundation, thanks to its expert teams of doctors, nutritionists, psychologists and trainers, has for years been conducting activities focused on the prevention of obesity, diabetes and supporting entire families in changing their diets and incorporating exercise into their daily routines.

FitSchool has created an extraordinary space…
“The FitSchool project is a platform to match the demands of the modern school, which seeks to become more attractive for the student
as well as the teacher in today’s technologized world. FitSchool is an extraordinary space for creating new solutions in education. It is easy to use and universally accessible. FitSchool has a significant role to play now when young people do not exercise enough. Studies show that most primary school students do not follow the current physical activity recommendations. It is therefore crucial to look for solutions that will effectively motivate them to exercise more. FitSchool is an easy and attractive way to encourage kids of different ages to be physically active.
Through this encouragement, the project will meet the overarching goal of early physical education: it will prepare young people to treat exercise as a tool that will help them maintain health and fitness throughout their lives. FitSchool’s exercise sessions and short workouts (‘brain breaks’) are an excellent complement to regular PE classes, and the knowledge passed on to teachers during training sessions develops their competences, too.
The project is perfectly aligned with the needs of modern schools
where multimedia technology is widely used. FitSchool is a versatile platform
which supports teachers and activates students while focusing on individual approach
and adaptation to the actual capability of the student. It is an effective tool that
builds on the student’s strengths, thus motivating them to carry on. FitSchool also combines
practice with theory: to create the platform, we invited experts and enthusiasts who have developed a new quality of education with
a lot of smiles positive energy. And this is just the beginning!
FitSchool’s goals are far-reaching. FitSchool is our path to
improve the process of education and upbringing with a special focus on
physical, mental, and social activity. I therefore encourage you to activate your FitSchool account and
enjoy creating active and joyful training sessions. I hope every FitSchool user discovers
and develops their superpowers thanks to this platform!
Feel invited to join now!

For children, exercise is a joyful experience…
”The first years at school are a very important stage in children’s lives. As humans, we start to forge lifestyle patterns in early childhood and then keep them throughout our lives, so creating healthy habits at an early age is crucial. The objective is not to train professional athletes, but to give all children the opportunity to find joy in exercise and develop good habits as well as passions that will stay with them forever.”
