    About ZOO Allstar Gyms

    The lifestyle you want starts by being a ZOO ALLSTARS Cheerleading Franchisee! If you're considering a franchising opportunity, several factors play into your decision. Why the Cheerleading market? You have a wide range of choices in franchise opportunities. So, why is Cheerleading the right market for you? Consider the fact that cheerleading is one of the fastest growing sports in the world today, and that Australia currently has an underdeveloped cheerleading community that based on USA statistics could grow by 500% in the next five years. Cheerleading appeals to all cultures, males and females young or old and encourages participation at all levels whether recreational or competitive, anybody can do it. Cheerleading is healthy, fun and a great way to meet other people. The convenience and affordability of our franchise model providing access on a national level means ZOO Allstars franchisee's will keep benefiting from the vast majority of this growth. The Innovator The founders of ZOO Allstars recognized early on that the cheerleading industry in Australia was in need of innovation. With more than 20 years of industry and entrepreneurial experience, they developed a forward thinking business model that allows people to work in the enjoyable and fast-growing Cheerleading industry as an independent business owner. The founders under stood that Cheerleading consumers were looking for convenience and affordability. Yet, they were not willing to accept substandard equipment or lackluster environments. This knowledge led to the development of a Cheerleading franchise that would be a national player offering quality services and equipment. At ZOO Allstars members can train to be competitive or recreational cheerleaders. Where ZOO Allstars really stands out from the crowd is in their integration of USA style coaching, training and certification, combined with the latest and greatest equipment and access to workshops, competitions and international traveling to compete at exclusive bids for ZOO Teams. At ZOO all members are part of the ZOO Family!
