Gymnast, kinesiologist, and musician Robin Wes had a unique idea: to give children the opportunity to develop their motor skills, as well as social, emotional, and intellectual abilities, in a fun, magical, and non-competitive environment. He opened The Little Gym in 1976 in Bellevue, Washington, and the idea grew. In 1992, The Little Gym International Inc. was created to franchise Robin Wes’s concept. The Little Gym has grown incredibly. We have over 400 locations worldwide. There’s a fantastic core team dedicated to helping our location owners achieve their dreams. And Robin Wes remains part of the team, doing what he loves most: composing all the music for The Little Gym.
The support provided by the brand and the Portuguese master covers the various areas of the business, from the space search stage and understanding the business to the pre-opening phase, training, opening, operational and financial management.
You can speak with multiple members of The Little Gym, whether they’re clients, owners, or coaches, to gather as much information as possible for your business.
We provide software tools for managing classes and the business, as well as all the training for its development. All tools are online and can be accessed from anywhere in the world.
Investment is undoubtedly the first question we receive when an entrepreneur is interested in the concept. The total investment amount will vary depending on the location, the necessary construction, personnel costs in the geographic area, and capital. Although there are several variables, we can list the main values:
As a network member, there’s a monthly contribution of 6% of revenue. This amount ensures ongoing business support, access to all tools and services, and ongoing brand development.
Like any business, success depends heavily on the team and how each franchisee develops their business as a whole. There’s no guarantee of success, but we know that in Europe and Portugal, well-managed new units reach operational break-even within 12 to 18 months.
