Why choose Top Secret Spartans?

We want to make fitness and health education as fun and easy as possible and create solutions to the above problems for both kids and their parents. We recognize that each school/organization have different needs, goals, and resources.  One size does not fit all when it comes to health and we believe the same for our program.  Whether you are looking for weekly classes or a one-day workshop, we will personally work with you to develop the optimal program for your school/organization. We treat each program with individual attention and customize our session to fit your situation in the following ways:

We provide trained, professional coaches.  All coaches have passed a background test and are certified fitness professionals. In addition, they go through our rigorous and ongoing training in curriculum development, education techniques, and crowd management strategies.

We collaborate.  To engage participants in the program, we structure our programs with age-appropriate play and education. Our founders work closely with the coaches, gathering feedback and fine tuning curriculum to ensure that each session becomes progressively tailored to the participants

We provide a low instructor-to-student Ratio.  To ensure individual safety and class quality, we provide one coach for every 10 students.

We are flexible.  We collaborate with the organization to determine the best schedule to accommodate the maximum number of participants.  We can organize indoor and outdoor onsite sessions to meet any space constraints an organizations may have.

We bring everything onsite.  We provide all equipment and materials for the sessions. If the organization wishes to use its own equipment to supplement the activities, our instructors can coordinate with school officials to use their equipment.

We have fun!  Top Secret Spartans believes having FUN is the key to success of the program. By combining education with play, we are committed to creating fun learning experiences that will increase intrinsic motivation and self-confidence.  Kids will also love our tee shirts, certificates, Spartan Trading Cards and Medals.
