Confident kids,
built through play.
Where movement meets mindset. Founded by Coach Liz — a master’s-qualified teacher with 20+ years of experience teaching kids. Kaizen Kids Bali is where we build real strength, resilience and confidence through classes, camps and adventure.
Strong bodies, every class.
Three pillars. One big idea.
Kaizen is the Japanese idea of getting a little better every day. Every class trains the body and the mind together.
Movement
Real strength built the right way: how to push, pull, pick up and carry weight. How to lunge, hinge, squat, jump and climb using kettlebells, dumbbells and our bodies. Hangs and rope climbs for grip strength and obstacle courses, animal movement and games to keep things FUN!!!
Mindset
Mindset is embedded in every Kaizen Kids experience. We build confidence and resilience by teaching kids that mistakes are how we learn, that it’s okay to start before we feel ready and that real growth happens when we keep trying. Our focus is always on progress, over perfection; on doing your best, not being the best. That’s how kids learn to trust themselves, handle challenges and grow braver over time.
🌴 Beyond the gym; real-world adventure
Throughout the year, Coach Liz leads adventures beyond the four walls of the gym, chasing waterfalls, abseiling, tubing and hiking jungle trails before sharing meals, stories and fireside treats together. These thoughtfully curated adventures encourage kids to stretch their comfort zones, connect with nature and each other while creating core memories and friendships that last long after camp is over. The world becomes a playground and being challenged starts to feel exciting, not scary.
Hi, I’m Coach Liz.
I’m Portuguese-Canadian and I moved to Bali in 2019. I hold a Master’s in Teaching, a degree in Psychology and I’m a qualified personal trainer. Before creating Kaizen Kids, I spent 17 years as a primary-school teacher in Canada and Bali — including time as a Social-Emotional Support Teacher at Canggu Community School.
I grew up as an athlete with coaches who focused entirely on the physical — the mental side was never part of the training. So I wanted to build something different: a programme where movement and mindset are equal partners. That’s how Kaizen Kids was born.
Kaizen is the Japanese principle of continuous improvement. To me, that means helping kids become 1% better every day — not by focusing on perfection, but by learning to try, reflect, grow and believe in themselves. My coaching blends movement, mindset, connection and play, so kids build confidence, resilience and emotional awareness while feeling safe, seen and excited to grow.
What a class looks like.
Every class follows the same format: our mantra, a warm-up, practise the skills and then the workout. Physical challenge and a mindset lesson, interwoven and always, always FUN!!! Routine builds confidence, and confidence helps build everything else.
The mantra
We start every class the same way: I am strong, I am brave, I can do hard things. It sets the tone before a single rep.
Warm-up Game
A game to get bodies moving and smiles going — it’s how we connect and prime our bodies for what’s to come.
The Workout
The best part. Pushing, pulling, carrying, lunging, squatting and hinging — the foundational moves every child should master, taught safely starting with bodyweight and then real (kid-sized) weights.
Grip & Hang
Lots of hanging on bars and climbing ropes. Grip strength is linked to lifelong health — plus, kids love showing off…
Obstacle & Agility
Obstacle courses and agility challenges that build confidence, coordination and core strength while feeling like play.
Animal Movements
We move like lizards, gorillas, crabs and bears. It’s silly, it’s hard and it’s a favourite.
