Bell Tower recently announced the addition of KidStrong, a children’s training program that helps to cultivate confidence and fitness as well as mental, physical and character development. For photos and videos that depict the KidStrong experience, visit kidstrong.com.

“We’re excited to bring KidStrong to the Fort Myers community,” said Jim Brennan, general manager at Bell Tower. “An entire generation of children have been deeply impacted by the events of the past few years, from the after-effects of Hurricane Ian to remote learning and the confinement of the pandemic, and many area parents are now looking for resources that can help them empower their children to reach developmental milestones they may have missed or simply to thrive in today’s fast-paced world. KidStrong can help families in the Fort Myers area who are looking for these kinds of solutions and expert-led training, and we invite the community to stop in and learn about the KidStrong program.”

“We created the KidStrong curriculum from the ground up to develop the whole child,” said Matt Sharp, co-founder of KidStrong. “To do that, we focus on mental, physical and character development. We teach kids everything from shaking hands to how to do a pull-up to how to run correctly, building each child’s confidence and the belief that they are strong, brave and able to do whatever they make up their minds to do. We are excited to bring KidStrong to Fort Myers, and to share this unique and empowering experience with area children and their families through our new Bell Tower location.”
