INTRODUCING RINKA

STRONG HEART:
Energy-burning
cardiovascular exercises
STRONG BODY:
Resistance training
kids style
STRONG MIND:
Health and wellbeing
challenges
INSTRUCTOR OPPORTUNITIES TO JOIN OUR TEAM IN IRELAND!
OUR MISSION
RINKA believes in teaching kids to believe in themselves. We believe the secret is in building confidence. Teach every child that they ‘can’ do and the chances are they ‘will’ do it!!
Movement is natural to children, sport maybe not so much. At RINKA we want to differentiate between the two. Loving sport is optional but loving fitness is essential. We must reach children on a level that interests them, give them an opportunity to master physical literacy from a young age, in a way that they enjoy and show them that fitness isn’t about being the best, it’s about feeling the best.

With it being the weekend of love 🫶 , what better time to talk about feelings with our kids?
Valentine’s isn’t just about cards and chocolate. It’s a lovely opportunity to chat about all the different feelings we have — happiness, excitement, frustration, worry, pride, kindness… all of them.
That’s why we’re sharing our FREE Kids Mood Tracker 🙌
It’s a simple, gentle way to help children recognise their emotions and feel confident talking about them. There are four weeks included, and you can print it as many times as you like and make it part of your evening routine at home.
Sit down together. Reflect on the day. Let them learn that every feeling is normal 🙌

We completely understand that it can feel unusual not being in the room.
You naturally want to see everything. You want to support, protect and be part of it. That instinct is beautiful 😍
Everything at RINKA is child-led and for the best of the child.
Our structure isn’t about excluding parents. It’s about creating a space where children can:
• build independence
• concentrate without distraction
• develop social confidence
• take small risks in a safe environment
• grow without feeling watched
When children step into the room on their own, they often surprise themselves. And that belief they build in that moment carries far beyond our walls ✨
Every decision we make comes back to one question:
Is this in the best interest of the child?
If the answer is yes, that’s the direction we take.
Always 💚

Sport builds skill.
We build the foundation.
Children who move in different ways are usually stronger, more confident and more resilient long term.
RINKA supports whatever your child loves to do.
We’d love to welcome your child to our program 💚

This week in Strong Mind Section, our Juniors are exploring a simple but powerful idea 💡
We’re talking about crayons 🖍️ 😂
Every crayon is different;
Different colours.
Different shades.
Different strengths.
On their own, they’re lovely 🥰
But when they come together, that’s when a truly beautiful picture is created!! 🤩
We’re using this to help the children understand that being different is not just okay, but that it’s what makes a group stronger 🙌
Some children are fast.
Some are thoughtful.
Some are loud.
Some are quiet.
Some lead.
Some support.
And just like the crayons, it’s the mix of all these differences that makes the group work.
Our Strong Mind section is about helping them feel confident in who they are, and comfortable being part of a group where everyone brings something different.
That’s what we’re working on this week 💚

There’s nothing more powerful than a friendship built on the same passion, values, and desire to do something that actually matters 💚
When two people connect so deeply on a shared mission,the friendship that grows from it is like nothing you’d ever expect, as Sandra and I have been lucky enough to learn 🤗
This is the heart behind RINKA💚
No big corporation- just two real ladies, who care a lot
and share a belief in what children deserve from the spaces they grow in.

Not all birthday parties leave kids happy and parents relaxed ☺️
This message landed in our inbox after a recent RINKA party and honestly… it says everything 🙌
Our parties aren’t just “fun”. They’re:
✔ Fully structured
✔ High energy (they work up a sweat!)
✔ Led by experienced instructors
✔ Designed to keep every child engaged
✔ And yes… completely stress-free for parents
That’s the difference.
If you want a party where the kids are buzzing, the energy is positive, and you’re not managing chaos the whole time 😅 this is it!!
Save this for when there’s a party in your house
Share it to help other parents organise a stress-free party
