We have being Stretchin-n-Growin in Ireland for over 10 years. Stretch-n-Grow - the world's largest network of children's fitness professionals - orginated in America in 1992 by Bob and Jill Manley. They planned to conduct classes locally, but the excitement and enthusiastic feedback they received meant that within one year the programme had spread to several other cities. Since then Stretch-n-Grow has expanded to Australia, Canada, the UK, Hong Kong, India, Kenya, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore and the Philliphines.
Our exercises and curriculum were developed under the supervision of an Advisory Board consisting of pediatricians, nutritionists, educators and fitness professionals. Our Advisory Board and Affiliate Advisory Council regularly review our program to ensure that our exercises are safe for kids and are in compliance with the youth fitness guidelines established by AFAA (Aerobics and Fitness Association of America) and ACE (American Council on Exercise) and AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics).
Our curriculum and exercise glossary are safe, effective and age-appropriate.
