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.”

Children need exercise…

“I am very happy that a tool such as the Fit School platform has been developed. It is especially important now, in this difficult period following the Covid pandemic. Children need exercise, they love physical activity, and they naturally crave it. Any initiative to improve children’s health, both physical and mental, is simply invaluable!”

The Programme is unique…

“I recommend the use of FitSchool exercise sessions in schools on a daily basis. The idea of increasing the level of physical activity in schools by using multimedia is innovative, and it undoubtedly responds to the growing health needs of children. The Programme is unique because its authors took the utmost care to make it comprehensive and basing it on up-to-date research. Indisputably, the medical value of the programme is very high.”

Teacher feedback on the programme:

The platform considerably facilitates the work of a teacher, allowing to control children in the class as they work out to make sure they exercise correctly.

The presentation of the exercises by the virtual trainer significantly facilitates my work as a teacher. It enables me to observe the children as they are exercising and help them perform the exercises correctly.

It makes the teacher’s work easier. The platform, provides ready-to-use exercise sets for use at any time.

The platform provides the teacher with a ready-made tool.

The lessons with exercises run by a virtual trainer are professional and well demonstrated. With this tool, the teacher no longer needs to prepare their own exercises or lessons. Instead, the teacher’s role requires other competences, such as close focus and observation of the children, control of pace and correctness exercise form.

The teacher can use a ready lesson featuring various exercises matched to the childrens age.

It is really convenient. The platform can be used to provide P.E. classes , but also between other lessons as a short break when the teacher sees children are losing their focus, are distracted, or need an energy boost.

An excellent tool – the platform allows my P.E. classes to be enriched and varied when there is no access to gym space or when the weather prevents us from exercising outdoors.
