P.E. for Homeschoolers
Homeschool Fitness ® is a program designed to help kids learn to love physical activity!
Designed to provide a fun, wholesome, and safe fitness experience for kids ages K – 6th, the program is held in local gyms, allowing homeschooled children the opportunity to receive traditional P.E. instruction.
Now serving Utah!
The Basics
We offer 8-week programs throughout the school year, with two one-hour classes a week for a total of 16 classes per program. Every program offers different experiences and activities and therefore if desired, families are welcome to enroll on a rolling basis. We now offer FALL, WINTER, and SPRING programs. See our Calendar for start times. The maximum class size is 30 children.
Class Activities
Classes are designed to be fun and engage children while still providing a good workout. Each class period starts with basic warm-up routines that include calisthenics as well as cardio activities. Main activities include playground games, sports, obstacle courses, puzzles, drills, group exercises, and more.
Focus on Fitness
On the last day of each program, we take time to celebrate our accomplishments and summarize what we have learned. Kids will love this part as we roll out the obstacle courses and hand out prizes. The focus is on how rewarding physical fitness and an active lifestyle can be. Each participant is encouraged to set their own weekly fitness goals.

Instructor Requirements
Our instructors are carefully selected for their professionalism, charisma, kindness, accountability, and high moral standards. Instructors follow our dress code which includes wearing a Homeschool Fitness® instructor shirt and keeping a neat and well-groomed appearance. Instructors look after the safety and well-being of each child and keep in close communication with families as needed.
Safety and Accountability
While we work to provide a fun and engaging fitness experience for all children, our number one priority will always be the safety of your children. For that reason, we may at times move on to a new activity if a particular activity gets out-of-hand or adjust in-class groups depending on the activity to ensure children are paired with kids of similar ages and skill levels.
We have a moral and ethical responsibility to keep kids safe, to keep activities wholesome, and to ensure each child is having fun, however, physical activities of any kind come with some inherit risks of injury and/or accident. Similar to other physical activity programs, we require parents to sign a waiver withholding liability from Homeschool Fitness®, should their child become injured during class
activities.
The waiver form also contains important emergency contact information for each child should an injury occur, allergy or medical information that might be pertinent to fitness activities, as well as a record of any special needs.
Privacy and Record Keeping
We take your privacy seriously. During your child’s enrollment, we keep a class binder on hand containing only necessary information, including your child’s name and age, the waiver form (including the aforementioned emergency contact information, pertinent allergy and/or medical histories, and special needs information), as well as a single polaroid picture (non-digital) taken during the first class to help us identify your child. During enrollment instructors may occasionally send parents pictures of class activities via email or text message.
Parent / Guardian Responsibilities
In order to provide a seamless and high-quality experience for your children, we ask parents to commit to the following responsibilities:
- Aim for your child to arrive no more than 5 minutes before the scheduled class time (this allows instructors time to focus on setting up activities prior to children arriving).
- Please pick up your child on time or make age-appropriate arrangements to meet them for pick-up after class. Please be courteous as our instructors may need to prepare for the next activity.
- Please promptly communicate any changes in contact information, special needs, medical conditions, or fitness to participate in physical activities to course instructors.
- If your child is sick, please keep them home. The parents of children who are sick will be called to come and pick up their child.
- Please ensure your child is well hydrated (bring a water bottle) and has used the restroom before class.
- Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately (and modestly) for gym activities. Shorts or sweats, T-shirts, and athletic shoes are perfect!
Our bodies are a gift and it's up to us to keep them strong and healthy

Founded by a homeschooling mom who wished her own children had less screen time and more opportunities for physical education and social interaction, the program is designed to provide a fun, wholesome, and safe fitness experience for kids ages 5 through 12.
The program is held in local gyms, allowing homeschooled children the opportunity to receive traditional P.E. instruction.

Generally, YES. But please double-check to ensure your school will accept third party PE classes.
Depending on the in-class activity, we pair children with similar aged children (IE: young children will be grouped with other young children). We also take the ages of children into consideration when we finalize classes during sign-up.
The cost for each 8-week program (16 classes) is $219 per participant.
In order to provide the best value to all families, we do not offer any group or family discounts.
Our response depends on the seriousness of the injury. If a child has a minor scrape or a sore muscle, we may apply a band-aid or an ice-pack but may not necessarily contact a parent. If the child has a more moderate injury or is inconsolable, we will call the parent immediately. Of course, in the case of a life-threatening or serious injury we will immediately call 911 as well as the emergency contact number for the child.
Our program is inclusive to all children between ages 5 and 12, however, depending on the needs (behavioral, mental, physical, etc) we may or may not be able to accommodate. Often we are able to accommodate if a parent is available to assist the child during class. Please contact us for questions: support@homeschoolfitness.org
