EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) – A new gym in El Centro is opening its doors to support kids with autism through movement, exercise, and specialized care.
Kidisthenics, located at Yellowstone Plaza, is now open and offers a safe and supportive space for children to build confidence and reduce stress.
The gym is designed to be a resource for families looking for ways to support their child’s physical and emotional well-being.
Founder Arlene Lopez Martinez, originally from Mexicali, says the Imperial Valley feels like home, so opening the gym here was personal.
“How can I help, and I believe in order to help others you have to start from the root, and my roots are here,” Martinez said.
Kidisthenics works with specialists to ensure every child gets the attention and tools they need to grow.
