My Gym Children's Fitness Center

The Worldwide Leader in Children's Fitness Center Franchises

Welcome to the exciting business of children's gyms! Physical fitness is vital to the health of youngsters, and this is a great time to have a career involving children. The children's fitness industry offers a vast marketplace where the potential has now become even greater because of school budget cuts, decreasing opportunities for safe play in parks and neighborhoods, and the appalling state of the physical fitness of America's youth.

The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports has published studies revealing that millions of our children are overweight, inactive and below minimum standards for strength, flexibility and endurance. The need for more children's gyms is apparent, and the field offers an abundance of opportunities to those who love kids. You can have the chance to be your own boss and, most important, derive real satisfaction from knowing that you are promoting the physical and emotional health of our most precious resource, our children.

My Gym's objective is to help children at various physical, emotional and intellectual levels develop confidence and self-esteem through love, understanding and positive reinforcement. There is no such thing as failure in the My Gym curriculum. Our innovative and carefully structured programs, along with our ideal student/teacher ratio and noncompetitive atmosphere, allow children to discover what great things they can accomplish! My Gym kids have so much fun developing their coordination, agility, flexibility, fine and gross motor proficiency, balance, strength and social skills as they run, jump, tumble, dance and sing.

Originally created in 1983, the My Gym program was so well received that the founders decided to proceed on a course of expansion. My Gym Enterprises, the parent company franchising My Gym Children's Fitness Centers, was established in 1994. Systems were developed for seeking highly qualified and talented franchisees, determining favorable demographics, locating advantageous sites, attaining loans, supplying equipment, performing tenant improvements, training owners and directors, providing all-inclusive administrative packages, hiring staff, generating advertising and promotional opportunities, planning spectacular Grand Openings, attaining clientele and giving support to franchisees, the quality of which is unparalleled in the industry. We currently have over 120 locations nationwide.

Our program is the most innovative in the children's educational fitness industry, a field that has experienced rapid growth with My Gym at the forefront. MGE's goal is to always remain at the cutting edge. Our having great success each step of the way has reinforced our belief that franchising is the ideal method by which My Gyms can be spread throughout the country.

Each of us is thrilled with the results of our efforts, and we have developed a true camaraderie with our franchisees and they with one another. My Gym franchisees share insights, ideas and new materials through telephone conversations, by email, through our internal franchisee-only extranet and at our regional and national My Gym Seminars. We're more than a franchise; we're a family. We all feel so fortunate to have chosen a profession that is actually so much fun. Helping children to develop physically and emotionally is extremely gratifying.

So, it is with much enthusiasm and heartfelt sincerity that we say, "It would be our pleasure to show you the way!" You, too, can experience the same excitement, satisfaction and rewards as we have when you become part of our My Gym Family.
