COMPANY BIO

The Problem: All around the world, children’s physical, mental, and emotional health is becoming increasingly worse. Childhood obesity rates are at an all-time high, and kids are struggling more than ever with depression, anxiety, stress, sleep disorders, low self-esteem, processing feelings and emotions, and bullying. As screen time usage is increasing, kids’ mental and physical health is subsequently declining. Without ways to fight back against the threats contributing to the decline in our kids’ health, things will only get worse!

The Truth: Our kids need a hero. They need to be inspired, motivated, empowered, and educated on how to to live a healthy life, process emotions and feelings, and be encouraged to be kind and loving to others, including themselves. Kids need compelling resources that will show them how to combat the terrible forces of unkindness and unhealthy living that the world is constantly throwing at them. But how? 

Kids love cartoon characters. They also learn best from those they look up to the most. Positive superheroes inspire kids to believe in themselves and help others. Imagine the power and effect it would have on kids if these elements were combined, resulting in relatable cartoon superheroes who inspire and motivate them to be kind and live rewarding, active lives.

The Solution: Kendra Kessel is a mom, educator, and family fitness expert with a deep love for fitness and children’s wellbeing. She’s also a huge fan of superheroes and games. In hopes of finding a solution for the growing problem, she combined her passions into an idea that will forever change the future of children's health.

It has always been Kendra’s dream and mission in life to help kids in ways that would truly get through to them. Using her special skill-set and unique superpowers, she assembled the Fit Heroes concepts, characters, stories, and cartoons. 

Kendra had the vision, but she knew the Fit Heroes needed someone with exceptional artistic abilities to bring her superheroes to life. She teamed up with her superhero artist friend, Vic Guiza, and the Fit Heroes came to life!
