Just Add Kids Business Opportunity Information: Just Add Kids
We Develop The Ingredients To Develop The Child

Just Add Kids is the brainchild of founder and owner, Siegfried Gerstung, and incorporates the philosophy; equipment and teaching methods used everyday in his own facility in Baltimore, Maryland.
Siegfried Gerstung, first came to America as a young physical education teacher. He saw a lack of quality programs that focused on fostering creativity, problem solving skills, and boosting self-esteem. He decided to create a non-competitive teaching method with the focus on the cognitive and physical skills as well as encouraging the child to use their own innate curiosity to stimulate movement.
When he saw that his programs were a success, he wanted to share what he had learned with as many people as possible. Thats when the Just Add Kids business opportunity was developed.
Gerstung Inter-Sport has been in business since 1964 and it has serviced the youth fitness market as creator of youth movement education curriculums, manufacturer of youth equipment and flooring, as well as providing instructor education programs. More importantly, we have owned and operated the Gerstung gym for over 40 years and have received numerous local Best awards as well as Club Industrys Best of the Best in Childrens Programming.
