Our Origin
Hi! I’m Coach Kayla, the founder and head coach of Fit 5 Runners. As a USATF certified coach, I’ve spent years running track in college and serving as a head track and field coach in Alexandria, VA. My passion is to create a program that instills a lifelong love for movement in kids.
With my background as a K-12 PE teacher and fitness coach (I teach in LCPS!). I’m thrilled to offer a fun and supportive environment for children aged 4-10 to thrive, succeed, and truly enjoy running.
At Fit 5, we have an exceptional team of coaches dedicated to providing personalized attention, ensuring each child feels valued and supported on their fitness journey. I can’t wait to help your child discover their passion for fitness!
Fit 5 was born out of a need I saw in our community. While sports like t-ball, soccer, and basketball are widely available, there was a noticeable absence of programs that prioritize overall fitness. Our program aims to fill that gap, welcoming kids of all backgrounds and skill levels.
My own children have thrived in our program, and I’m confident yours will love it just as much!
