My daughter has been participating for about a month now. She loves the action and we are seeing growth in her confidence and strength.
Coaches Kyan and Dani are simply amazing. They are attentive to every student and work with them to ensure they can do the activities correctly while maintaining a positive attitude for the kids.
My daughter has worked on endurance, agility, problem solving, team-work, coordination and self-confidence. She leaves feeling great about herself and looks forward to every class.
Highly recommend, no matter what level of strength or coordination your kiddo is at.

Love the coaches content and place is immaculate. My grandson loves ❤️ this class. He's mildly on the spectrum and his coaches are excellent with him. Get him to do things he won't do for me. Absolutely the best decision for his fitness and health.

The only reason some were a 3 star is because I don't have the app yet. I think this is a great program and i also think that this will keep my baby calm and focus. Also, i think the program helps him to be discipline. My child is highly energetic and this program works so nice for him. He was climbing and jumping on the rings. He did everything! I love it and i think he did too!

KidStrong has been an absolute game-changer for my daughter! She’s super active and looks forward to every class — the energy, the coaches, and the fun challenges keep her moving and smiling. But what I love most is how much she’s grown beyond the physical side — she’s become more confident, social, and kind toward her peers. KidStrong isn’t just about strength; it’s about building character, confidence, and teamwork. We’re so glad to be part of KidStrong

The coaches are all great with the kids. My son is in a 3-4 year class, and this age does does not always like to listen or follow directions. They have been amazing getting my stubborn 4 year old to do the activities, or giving him his space if he is in a mood and just wants to do things his way. He has improved so much since starting with another KidStrong over a year ago, and still loves going.

Our kiddo is a little shy, but in his second class he was already comfortable enough to participate without me by his side. He mentioned his legs getting tired during the class which tells me they’re getting an actual workout to build their little muscles. So excited to watch him grow in his abilities and coach Nav is a fantastic motivator!

I absolutely love how this program keeps kids motivated and engaged! The way they encourage confidence and consistently support the kids to keep moving and doing their best is truly inspiring. It’s clear they genuinely care and know how to bring out the best in every child. Highly recommend!

UPDATE 08/36/3025
We absolutely love the KidStrong program! It keeps my child engaged while helping him grow physically, socially, and emotionally. We had tried karate and other activities before, but nothing seemed to be the right fit—until KidStrong. The coaches really know how to channel kids’ energy in a positive way, and the program gives my child a chance to move, learn, and build confidence at the same time. If your child is energetic and loves to play, KidStrong is the perfect place to turn that energy into growth and success. We’re so grateful to have found this program!

We couldn't wait when we found out that KidStrong was opening in Hamden, we signed up for the email list and kept checking weekly for their opening date. We started there week one with my son who is 2 years old. It is expensive (though on par with most kid activities these days) and a sacrifice for our family but I really believe it's a worthwhile investment for his physical, social and emotional growth.

After 4 months, Oliver (who is on the shyer side), proudly shakes the coaches hands and says his name. He's always been very physical and had a good awareness of his body movement but he's definitely become more brave and courageous in trying new things. I love that KidStrong teaches him healthy competition and sportsmanship, even at a young age. Watching him and his friends supporting each other in class and help the coaches with setup or cleanup melts my heart.

I also love how the classes are structured while also allowing grace for toddlers to be toddlers - the coaches are SO patient and encouraging. Shoutout to Coach Lee who functions some days are more of a circus ring leader than a coach but always with a smile, Coach Rizz who is always there to lend a helping hand and Coach Kyan (we really miss you on Monday mornings!) who in one of the most impressive young men I've met in a long time.

I can't say enough good things about KidStrong and it's translation into our everyday life - hearing my son repeat "I am strong, I am brave" in random moments at our house or in the world makes me so proud. So very grateful to have this resource for kids and families in Hamden!!!

They truly care about the kids and make learning fun. We’re so grateful for this team!

It's high energy and keeps kids moving! We went to our first class, and my daughter can't wait to go back! She has asthma and poor endurance as a result. Even though she needed her inhaler shortly after starting class, she quickly recovered and wanted to get back out and keep going. I had signed my daughter up to help her work through her shyness, lack of physical activity, and self confidence/ fear of failure issues. The coaches were great, just the right amount of support while also pushing her to keep going.

Coach Dom and the KidStrong team run a well-oiled, high-energy program that keeps both students and parents actively engaged — and most importantly, having fun. The coaches create a vibrant atmosphere filled with positivity and encouragement, making each session feel like a celebration. They’re not only well-trained but deeply committed to the KidStrong mission: helping kids build foundational physical, mental, and social skills in a supportive environment. Parents are encouraged to clap, cheer, and stay involved, reinforcing the sense of sportsmanship, community and KidStrong culture.

It’s so awesome watching my daughter’s confidence grow with each class. She is so proud of her progress and it carries over outside of class. When she does something hard now she says, “that’s cause I do KidStrong!” Class activities are always changing and keeping the kids engaged. The best part is the coaches. They are so great with the kids and find ways to help all of them grow their skills in class.

I think the activities and exercises boost my niece’s confidence, and certainly improves her coordination. Doing the activities with her is a relationship builder as well. When her father takes her she’s often exhibiting even more confidence with his support. The coaches are super helpful and encouraging.
