A Family Idea That Grew Into a Community Program

Hi, I’m Scott Belknap — a lifelong Central Valley resident, father of four, and advocate for kids’ health and movement. Fit Visalia began when I started organizing outdoor fitness sessions with my own kids and their friends. Those meetups showed how much kids enjoyed having a supportive place to move, explore, and learn outside. That experience inspired Fit Visalia: a practical outdoor program where kids can build skills, take on challenges, and have a good time moving together.

What we believe

Kids are built to move. Regular movement supports children’s health and well-being. You do not have to be an athlete to get stronger, and you do not have to win to have a good time. Our job is to make movement fun, keep activities well directed, and give kids a reason to come back for the next session.
