My Gym®
What Is My Gym?
My Gym is a franchise of children’s fitness centers that offers programs such as pre-gymnastics, tumbling, fine and gross motor skills, sport skills, stretching, and group interactive activities, and may also sell equipment, clothing, toys and other items. The operational model is primarily brick-and-mortar Fixed Centers (approximately 2,000–3,000 sq ft) with the franchisor-approved option to add a Mobile Business delivering services and products to institutional facilities via branded vehicles. The primary target customers are children (generally ages 3 months through 13 years) and their parents (B2C), while the Mobile Business can serve institutional clients (B2B). Core assets include the My Gym System-uniform formats, signs, equipment, layouts, and the Confidential Operating Manuals-and franchisor-supplied or leased equipment and related items.
My Gym Franchise: Pros and Cons
With 213 hours of initial training, a perfect 100 training-and-support score and zero disclosed lawsuits, the franchisor offers unusually strong preparation and a clean legal track record; however, six reacquired outlets-well above the children's-services norm-indicate a notable risk of higher-than-normal franchisee turnover.
Pros
Cons
Lawsuits & Legal Risk
My Gym reported no material legal proceedings,
Territory Protection
My Gym grants a site-centered, protected (non-exclusive) territory-typically a circular radius containing 7,500 children-contingent on meeting performance quotas; the franchisor retains rights to sell via e-commerce and alternative channels, to develop additional units in the surrounding market (no right of first refusal), and to license or operate outside the territory.
Training & Support
The brand delivers a comprehensive 213-hour training curriculum designed to provide a deep-dive preparation for three managerial staff members ahead of launch. The program includes on-site launch support focused on operational readiness; on-site assistance is available at an additional cost, and travel and lodging expenses are the responsibility of the franchisee.
Franchisee Stability
My Gym earns a Good Stability Score. Three-year turnover of 3.45% sits below the typical Children's Services franchise (around 4.2%), and the system reported about 162 franchised outlets in the most recent year. Out of 17 total exits, ceased operations dominated with 14, alongside 3 franchisor buybacks, and no terminations or non-renewals.
The dominance of ceased operations points to location-level economics: operators appear to have closed underperforming sites rather than exits driven by franchisor enforcement. The presence of some franchisor buybacks indicates the franchisor sometimes reclaims units to stabilize locations. The system scale - about 162 franchised outlets most recently - gives some weight to the pattern. Examine unit-level economics in the geographies where closures have concentrated.
Unit Growth Analysis
Unit count was 166 in 2023, dipped to 161 in 2024 (−5 units, ≈−3.0%), then recovered to 166 in 2025 (+5 units, +3.1%), leaving net zero change over the period - so the trajectory is effectively stable with a recent rebound. For investors this signals resilience (the system recovered lost locations) but limited expansion capacity - the swing from −3.0% to +3.1% is notable short‑term volatility rather than sustained, accelerating growth.
