Our Story
VB KidFit is a local family-owned self-branded Childrens’ fitness center. Founded by VB natives Andy and Dasha Payne and with a passion to share their love for fitness with the community. VB KidFit has a mission of establishing a healthy functional fitness foundation in our youth. With two young daughters of their own, they quickly realized youth fitness has been heavily neglected across the board and action is needed. In March of 2022, the adventure began with the build-out. Opening the doors in June 2022 the mission is in full stride. Already VB KidFit had the honor to effectively change the path for hundreds of children by introducing them to the multiple physical and mental benefits with our programming. Regardless of if it’s fitness camp, PE Class, or one of over 150 parties thrown at VB KidFit the promise is delivered “VB KidFit is the best fit for your kid”. Hope to see you at the gym where kids grow mentally and physically stronger every day. Support local businesses so we can support the community.
