About Lucia and Kaisa

Kaisa Kerwin started tae kwon do at just 4 years old and earning her black belt by age 8, she trained hard and competed harder, making it all the way to the Junior Olympics. After high school, Kaisa became a fully-licensed Commercial Pilot, but after 6 years, she realized she wasn’t doing what she truly loved to do: teaching and helping people. In 2009 Kaisa completely shifted gears and opened up Kaisa’s Kickboxing. Then, in 2014, The Fit Shop was born, becoming a full-blown fitness community!

Lucia Toer founder of the WAH! Leadership Program and Shalva Wellness Program at Scheck Hillel Community School, Lucia equips students with the tools to build resilience and thrive in their ever-changing world. She’s also the driving force behind WAO! WE ARE ONE!, a movement that powers young people with experiences (events, classes, retreats) that skyrocket their well-being. A certified yoga instructor, SEL specialist, and teen coach, Lucia is on a mission to unleash the transformative power of these tools for the next generation. As a community architect, she’s building a healthier, happier world

WAO! and The Fit Shop have joined forces to create a unique collaboration with the aim of promoting a healthy and happy next generation, and thus generating a positive change in the world.

We do move mindfully. Basically, no matter the movement -it can boxing (glove) , yoga (namaste), or any other movement what truly matters is the intention we set -in our movements, words, thoughts, actions and our lives!

Through the WAO! experience, young people actively develop their emotional intelligence. While kids, teens, young pple are moving and letting go, we empower them with SEL social emotional learning skills to manage emotions, build healthy relationships, and feel a sense of belonging.

We give them tools to be the best version of themselves (developing their intrapersonal intelligence) We also inspire and motivate them to be powerful community members (we help develop their interpersonal intelligence growth).

WAO! equips youth with essential life skills that enhance their ability to thrive in both personal and social contexts.

Experiences of BODY, MIND, and SOUL

We guide children, teenagers, and young adults to work with themselves and with others, acquiring tools to promote their physical and socio-emotional well-being,

enjoying the HERE and Now.

Together, we can make a positive impact on the well-being of our youth!

FSXWAO! Collaboration for our next generation offers:

We take kids through an experience, not just a class. We explore Mindful movements karate, boxing, sports, agility, balance, coordination, stretch, yoga, and even meditation! While we move, kids are inspired by positive messages and Social Emotional Learning tools. At the end of our time together, we share healthy-only snacks while also sharing our highs and lows of the day, building a caring and healthy community and feeling a sense of belonging. @ The Fit Shop X WAO! Kids Experience WE ARE ONE!

We get together with young adults to learn from them. We challenge traditional hierarchies because we believe they are the ones who know. We move mindfully, we plan community events together based on their smart innovative and visionary ideas.

WE ARE ONE! Tribe who share a commitment to build a healthy community.

One of the biggest misconceptions about community building is that the leader has to do it all. But the strongest, most resilient communities aren’t dependent on one person—they thrive when members feel empowered to take initiative, contribute ideas, and lead efforts that align with the group’s shared values. If you’ve ever wished your community felt more self-sustaining, the key is to encourage member-led initiatives.

(@ The Fit Shop, your space, nature… wherever!)
