The local Lismore business Fitness Kidz has been nominated for seven industry awards this year. Brad Hicks, the owner says, “It makes me really proud to be recognised in this spotlight.”

The 2022 Whats On 4 Kids National Awards are a big deal in the childrens activities industry. “We are one of the smallest businesses nominated. We are up against companies in capital cities,” Mr Hicks said, “It’s a very large industry to be a part of. Childrens entertainment has so many different aspects so it’s exciting to be recognized.”
Fitness Kidz is a mobile business and has two major target audiences. Junior Fitness and Sports Program is aimed at children under the age of 5, and functions occur at community centres and pre schools. Their second is Active Entertainment and is popular at school events, parties, community gatherings and school holiday activities.
From the Tweed coast down, Fitness Kidz operate all over the Northern Rivers district.
The awards nominations range from the programs they offer, to their service to the community. “We have been nominated for their Hall of Fame. Only businesses that have been running for 10 years or more are eligible. We have just had our 15th birthday,” Mr Hicks said, “These awards honour the hard work done by the service for the communities and the children involved in the programs.”

Mr Hicks wanted to thank his clients, their families and the community for making it this far, “It is always good when a community gets behind you and supports your efforts. If we get a win, we want to dedicate it to the children and families who have been affected by the floods.”
Each nomination is awarded twice – once by a panel of judges, and the other is by popular vote. That is where you can help make a difference. If you have seen the Fitness Kidz program successfully providing children with positive experiences, your vote can help them achieve a win!
