GET MOVING. GET PLAYING. GET BUILDING.

Childhood obesity and inactivity is a growing issue and today’s children are at risk of being the most sedentary in history. Children who are more active have better physical and mental health, sleep better and are higher performers at school.

Recognising this, BrickFit founder and the worlds first LEGO® Certified Professional Ryan ‘The Brickman’ McNaught set out to rewrite this trend by creating the first LEGO® based fitness program using his weapon of choice - LEGO® bricks.

Best in Show

At the global W3 Awards 2022, BrickFit took out the prestigious Best in Show award, going toe-to-toe with heavyweight competition from the likes of Marvel, Disney and Hungry Jacks.

When challenges are completed, LEGO® build instructions are unlocked for the child to build.

Proven to get kids more active!

Before launching to the public, BrickFit was put through it’s paces with a pilot program conducted in collaboration with Launchpad and Deakin University to validate its effectiveness. 50 lucky kids (and their families) in Melbourne, Australia, put the BrickFit app and their fitness to the test.

Over 4 Million steps and 1,600+ fitness band syncs were recorded and 1,000+ LEGO® models proudly earnt and built during the 4 week program.

* No LEGO® was harmed during the making of this awesomness.

“The BrickFit App is designed to establish active habits from a young age. Research shows that an active child is much more likely to become an active adolescent and adult.”
