Kindergarten through 8th Grade
Pietra Fitness KIDS!
Pietra Fitness KIDS strives to help children, kindergarten through 8th grade, increase their faith, health, and well-being through physical exercise paired with Catholic prayer and meditation created just for kids! We have designed a program that exposes kids to the goodness, truth, and beauty of the Catholic Church while developing the whole person in mind, body, and soul. We seek to help children of all ages to glorify God with their entire human person.
