YVONNE KUSTERS
Helloooo!
Creating playful, high energy, exciting programs, videos, music and books for kids (and teachers) is my jam! Kids love to call me YOYO - because that's what I like to do - go up and down and spin all around! I started my fitness journey and became a nationally certified fitness professional 20 years ago right before college.
Since then, I've worked with big brands like PBS, Amazon, Walmart, Youtube, Epic, & Common Sense Media to spread my mission - making kids muscles and minds strong!
For over 12 years, our Kids Fitness Training program called LET'S PLAY TODAY® has helped others start teaching kids fitness internationally in over 11 countries. I'm also the co-author of the interactive book MOVE!, co-producer of two children's music albums, and creator of GO WITH YOYO exercise/ yoga videos for kids.
For over 15 years I've been performing interactive playful shows in front of thousands of children nationally... I'm so grateful for all the happy smiles, hi-fives and hugs I get at my "job"!
Traveling, biking, kayaking, and exploring anywhere outside with my husband and two kids are some of my favorite ways to move!!
My mission is to empower children to be both physically healthy and mentally fit through PLAY!

Preschool Teacher
Very well organized program. The children are motivated from the moment they walk through the gym door. They are always asked to participate. The teacher always uses positive reinforcement. Yvonne constantly builds a child’s confidence and self-esteem. During gym class there is always a designated theme. They are continually learning as they are playing, running, and jumping. The children leave the gym class with a big smile and look forward to the next time they have class.

Just wanted to let you know how easy it is to understand the LET'S PLAY TODAY, LLC. curriculum. Teaching it has been a blast. It has been easier than I thought it would be. I have had students go home singing the songs from the GO!GO!GO! Cd and telling their parents how much they enjoy the p.e. class. Thanks for putting together a fitness curriculum for children that's fun and affordable!

I have had the pleasure of attending Yvonne’s workshops. Yvonne is very energetic and creative. She has a knack for keeping everyone’s attention and maintains a great pace. Her workshops are interactive and fun for all. She has so much to share and is a great resource for creating a healthy environment.

Consultant for Early Childhood Education
Yvonne Kusters is an excellent workshop leader on the subject of “Educational Exercise for Young Children”. She understands the needs of children and is an effective presenter. She brings scarves, balls, and other material to demonstrate how these can be used in an exercise program. She uses videos of children in her classes to demonstrate effective techniques. Teachers leave with many new ideas that can be instantly tried in their schools. Evaluations are positive and I recommend Yvonne.

Yvonne's enthusiasm and love of fitness were abundantly clear. The energy and fun that was created for the children during her warm-up stretch was amazing.
