About Our Founder
Terri Braun is an athlete, leader, teacher and mother of three. When she began Kidokinetics, many people asked about starting a Kidokinetics in their community. Terri set out to build a franchise system that would allow others to share in her vision and bring sports knowledge and fitness skills to children of all ages and abilities. Her programs keep children moving and active and are especially in demand as schools eliminate recess and cut their P.E. programs, meaning kids have more screen time at school and at home. The magic of Kidokinetics is that we’ve made sure achieving goals is an exciting experience — one that is so much fun, kids aren’t even aware of the fact that they’re learning.
