Our Mission
The Forest Fitness NI franchisees are changing the lives of children in communities across the country. Our clubs create outdoor environments for children to be adventurous, imaginative, and free from the pressure of the modern world.
Our franchisees come from a range of backgrounds. What unites them is a passion for children’s physical and mental well-being, as well as a desire to create their own business.
As a well-established outdoor activity franchise, we have eliminated many of the ‘unknowns’ of starting a business. With an Forest fitness franchise, you will be supported every step of the way by an experienced and dedicated team.

WHAT WE DO – INSPIRING ADVENTURE CLUBS FOR KIDS
Forest fitness offers unique and engaging OCN registered clubs for Primary School Children aged 5-11.
At our clubs children gain confidence, have fun and improve their physical and mental development through outside play. We’re unlike sports specific clubs, as every person has something they excel at in nature. Our activities range from the quiet and methodical to louder and livelier play. With a non-competitive environment, children feel more relaxed and can challenge themselves to try new things each time.
UNIQUE ACTIVITIES: These are what makes us stand out from other childcare providers. Providing fun and engaging games such as Nerf or laser tag battles with our high tec laser guns, bushcraft and shelter building, Or Airsoft shooting ranges, this outdoor play with some modern techology of these two worlds often encourages somewhat reluctant children to come for the very first time, only to find that they return again and again.
HOLIDAY CLUBS: The wide variety of activities at our holiday camps means everyone feels good about their own abilities. This could be the sense of achievement they gain from lighting a fire or overcoming nerves to have an amazing game of Nerf. Watching children’s confidence grow and new friendships form during our holiday camps is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. Parents can book for a day, a week or more.
AFTER-SCHOOL CLUBS: Our after-school clubs are run on school site for 1 hour directly after school day. The clubs run with a different activity every week, always involving games, creativity, learning new skills, communication & teamwork. Parents’ book for the term.
BIRTHDAY PARTIES & OTHER CELEBRATIONS: Here at Forest Fitness, we love to party! Taking elements from our most loved clubs, we keep the children entertained with our super energetic and fun instructors. We have several different party sessions for the birthday child to choose from, including Nerf wars, bootcamp and Bushcraft
