My Gym

My Gym is a well-established children’s fitness and early learning franchise that operates more than 700 locations worldwide as of November 2025. The company began in 1983 with a single center in Santa Monica, California, founded by a group of partners who saw a need for a welcoming space where young children could build confidence and physical skills through movement and play. Over the years, My Gym has grown from its local roots into a global brand, now present in over 30 countries.

The company’s core offering centers on structured classes and parties for infants through elementary-aged children, blending gymnastics, dance, sports skills, and creative movement. These programs are designed to support physical, cognitive, and social development in a supportive, non-competitive environment. My Gym’s approach has proven adaptable, allowing the brand to thrive in a range of settings, from suburban neighborhoods to dense urban communities.

A significant milestone in the company’s growth came in 2017, when My Gym surpassed 500 global locations. In recent years, the brand has continued to evolve, notably launching My Gym LIVE, a virtual class platform that allowed families to participate remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. This innovation helped sustain engagement and demonstrated the brand’s ability to pivot in response to changing family needs.

Expansion has remained a priority, with My Gym actively seeking new franchise partners across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. The company has targeted both primary and secondary markets, including emerging international regions, and has welcomed both single-unit and multi-unit franchisees. As of November 2025, My Gym’s leadership and curriculum development teams are based in Sherman Oaks, California, where they oversee ongoing franchise support and global growth initiatives.

My Gym’s scale, international reach, and family-focused formats have made it a familiar anchor in shopping centers and mixed-use developments. Its consistent growth posture and reputation for delivering high-traffic, experience-driven destinations continue to attract interest from landlords, brokers, and developers looking to enhance their tenant mix with proven, community-oriented brands.
