IBV Kids Fitness Ottawa

IBV Kids Fitness Ottawa Hi, I’m Vanda — Olympic medalist, Miss World, Miss Canada and founder of IBV Kids Fitness.

Our program is a unique blend of gymnastics, dance, parkour, martial arts and more, all built around your child’s strengths.”

You know you’ve found the right activity when THEY’RE the ones reminding you it’s class day.

Shoes on. Bag ready. Asking when it’s time to leave, and suddenly you’re the one trying to keep up.

That kind of excitement is exactly what we want kids to feel about movement.

At IBV, they get to learn new acrobatic skills, challenge themselves, get stronger, see their friends and have FUN doing it.

Because when kids genuinely enjoy being active, you don’t have to convince them to move. They’re already asking, “Is it time for IBV yet?!”

There’s nothing quite like the rush of performing something you’ve worked so hard on.

The nerves before you start.
The excitement when it’s finally your turn.
The feeling of hitting your skills.
And that I DID IT moment when you finish.

But then comes one of the sweetest parts. Turning around and seeing your friends cheering for you.

The kids who have watched you practise, encouraged you when something was hard, and celebrated the little wins along the way are now just as excited about your big moment as you are.

That’s what we love about these experiences.

Kids get the confidence and excitement of stepping out there and performing, while also learning how good it feels to cheer someone else on.

Big moments are even better when you have good friends to share them with.

They come to class to move, learn new skills and have FUN.

But along the way, they find so much more. They find 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 when they try something they weren’t sure they could do.

They find 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 in a space where they’re encouraged to learn, grow and participate in a way that works for them.

And they find that feeling of being genuinely 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀, because they tried, kept going and realized they’re capable of hard things.

Those are the moments we love most at IBV.

The skills they learn in class are important, but the way they start to see themselves? That can stay with them far beyond the gym.

The “after” doesn’t happen overnight. It's built one class at a time.

Sometimes it starts with a child who’s a little nervous walking into their first class.They watch before they join in, they hesitate before they try,
and maybe they're not quite sure what they’re capable of yet.

Then, little by little, things start to change.

Nervous becomes excited.
Unsure becomes more confident.
Watching becomes participating.
Trying becomes achieving.

Not because we rushed them there, but because they were given the space, encouragement and coaching to try, to grow, and to discover what they’re capable of.

Come see where they could grow with IBV. Your child’s first class is FREE. 🤸

Skills are easier to learn and achieve when a child believes they’re capable of learning them.

Before the cartwheel, the handstand, the balance or the routine comes something even more important:
- The confidence to try.
- To get it wrong.
- To try again.
- To be seen learning something new.
- To trust their body.
- And eventually, to think, “Wait… I CAN do this.”

That’s why at IBV, we’re not only focused on what a child can do today. We create an environment where they can build confidence at their own pace, celebrate progress and discover what they’re capable of.

Because confidence isn’t something kids either have or they don’t.
It can be built.

And sometimes, all it takes is finding the right place to start. Start Here!

Yes, we want our kids to learn new skills, to watch them improve, accomplish hard things and feel proud of what they can do.

But it’s moments like this that bring tears of joy to a parent’s eyes.

A teammate completely invested in her friend’s performance. Cheering her on. Celebrating her wins like they’re her own. Genuinely wanting to see her succeed.

And you realize… THIS is so much more than you ever hoped they’d get out of an extracurricular activity.

Not just a place to become stronger or more skilled, but a place where they learn how to encourage others, be a good teammate, build real friendships and feel like they belong.

The skills are incredible, the trophies are exciting, but raising a kid who knows how to show up for someone else?

That’s the win.

Come try a FREE class and let them experience IBV for themselves!

Your child doesn’t need to “be a gymnast” before they walk through our doors.

-They don’t have to already be athletic.
-They don’t have to be the most outgoing kid in the room.
-And they don’t even have to be feeling confident.

But they absolutely can be.

At IBV, we meet kids where they’re at, whether they’re trying something new for the very first time or they have a background in dance, gymnastics or other sports. Because every child has something they can build on.

More strength. More confidence. More coordination. More challenging skills. MORE FUN. New friendships. Or simply discovering what they’re capable of.

Wherever they’re starting from, there’s room to grow here.

It’s not just about making a routine look good or making things easier for the kiddos.

It’s about giving each child the right challenge at the right time.

Kids don’t all learn the same way. They don’t have the same strengths, coordination, confidence, experience or goals.

One child might be ready to push their physical skills, while another needs to build the confidence to try something new without being afraid of getting it wrong.

So why would we give them all the exact same routine?
Answer: We don’t!

At IBV Fitness, we build routines around the child in front of us. We look at what they can do today, where they’re ready to be challenged, and what skills will help them progress next.

Because when the challenge is right for them they STOP comparing themselves to everyone else and they START seeing their own progress.

They learn that they can work through something difficult and they experience that incredible feeling of “I did it.”

That’s what customized coaching is really about.

The child shouldn’t have to fit the routine. The routine should help the child grow.

The best back-to-school supply isn’t a backpack.

It’s an extracurricular activity that gives your child skills they can carry with them into the classroom and beyond it.

Because the right activity can help kids learn how to:
✨ Build confidence in themselves
✨ Keep trying when something feels hard
✨ Listen, focus, and follow direction
✨ Work toward a goal
✨ Make friends and feel part of a community
✨ Discover what they’re capable of

Those are the kinds of skills that don’t get tucked away when the school day ends.

At IBV Fitness, kids get to move, have fun, challenge themselves and learn new acrobatic skills, all while building the confidence, coordination, resilience and sense of self that can support them at school, at home and everywhere in between.

So while you’re checking pencils, lunch boxes and backpacks off your back-to-school list, don’t forget the one “supply” they can use for years to come:
An activity that gives them skills no school supply can!
