    About My Gym Children's Fitness Center

    Welcome to the exciting business of children's gyms! The timing is right 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 our youth. 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 children.
    Improve the lives of children 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 strength, balance, coordination, agility, flexibility, fine and gross motor proficiency, social skills and self-esteem as they run, jump, tumble, dance and sing.
    Be your own boss Our franchisees derive real satisfaction from running a business
    that promotes the physical and emotional health of our world's most precious resource, our children.
