JumpBunch Keeps Kids Moving at Severna Park United Methodist Church Pre-School
This week the Patch photographer paid a visit to the Severna Park United Methodist Church pre-school where Danielle Gibbons, owner of JumpBunch, and coach Becky Johnson conduct a fitness class.
JumpBunch brings sports to young children in a fun and engaging way. Danielle and Becky did an amazing job keeping the interest and attention of 21 youngsters age 4. The Jumpbunch exercise class makes staying fit fun.
Danielle and Becky brought in the equipment needed to conduct the class. They continually kept the children's attention while providing age-appropriate fitness activities.
"This generation of children will be battling childhood obesity and video game mania and it's even more important than ever to have a program like JumpBunch be a part of the community to teach children the importance of exercise and keeping healthy" said Danielle Gibbons.

The mobile franchise concept is really beneficial to the schools and centers- JumpBunch can provide a trained coach to teach classes right on their site, no need to travel to a gym.
