    About J.W. Tumbles

    Fewer than half of American children get the exercise they need for good health, and only about one-third of elementary and secondary schools offer daily physical education classes. Jeff and Melissa Woods opened the first J.W. Tumbles in Solano Beach, California, in 1985, hoping to remedy this situation. The company opened its first franchise operation in Tucson, Arizona.

    J.W. Tumbles is a skill- and confidence-building program that promotes self-esteem and physical health in children aged 4 months to 9 years. Each class in its 'Fun'damentals program delivers challenging, noncompetitive activities. The program focuses on improving motor skills, spatial awareness, manipulative skills, coordination, balance, agility, flexibility, rhythm, strength, social awareness and sportsmanship. Franchisees can teach the program at their locations or use a van to take the fitness programs to schools. The company also offers summer and winter camps.
