A PREMIER AND NEW APPROACH TO KIDS FITNESS AND HEALTH
MEET THE COACHES
COACH MATT ROCKS!
“I am a teacher at Roosevelt Elementary and absolutely love my job! When I am not teaching, I spend my time at the gym, whether it be working out for myself or training others to reach their fitness goals. I absolutely love the creativity that comes with being an instructor and the directly impacting someone’s goals.
My absolute favorite part of my job came from working with the kids ages 5 – 14. Those classes were the reason I went back to school to become a teacher, because I realized right away how rewarding it was to make a positive impact on kids at an early age. The excitement they brought to every class fueled my desire to be the best trainer I could be. Joining the FitKids Tampa team has been something I have been looking forward to for many months and I am excited to be a part of the team!"

COACH JAIME IS LIGHTNING QUICK!
"I grew up in Tallahassee, FL and moved to Tampa after graduating from Florida State University. My childhood included a variety of sports and activities. From soccer, swimming and golf – to ballet and cheerleading, I loved it all. Looking back, I appreciate both the physical and social skills I gained through these experiences.
As a wife and a mom of two young boys, I am passionate about educating and empowering children and families to lead healthy lives. When I’m not coaching, you can find me running on Bayshore and playing at the park with my kids."
