WHAT IS JUST ADD KIDS?
JUST ADD KIDS is the brainchild of Siegfried Gerstung, founder and owner of Gerstung International Sport Education Inc. He created an educational philosophy with equipment and teaching methods in his own facility in Baltimore, Maryland. Siegfried Gerstung, first came to America as a young physical education teacher from Germany. He saw a lack of quality physical education programs that fostered creativity, problem solving and boosted self-esteem. This led to the development of a non-competitive teaching method with the focus on cognitive and physical skills, encouraging children to use their own innate curiosity to stimulate movement. Over 70 pieces of equipment, attachments and components were developed over 35 years to help facilitate the challenges in his curriculum. Today the Gerstung influence is found in schools, clubs and freestanding facilities throughout the world.
Gerstung Inter-Sport has been in business since 1964. The company services the youth fitness market with it's fun fitness equipment, it provides comprehensive movement education and equipment for pre-school ages and manufactures floors for the fitness and dance industries. The Gerstung Academy provides instructor education and training throughout the country. More importantly, Gerstung has owned and operated the Gerstung Gym for over 40 years and has consistently received numerous local "BEST" awards as well as a national award from Club Industry's BEST OF THE BEST in Children's Programming
