The Little Gym Franchise Model Overview

The Little Gym franchises run facilities offering physical fitness, recreational gymnastics and motor skills programs for children, sold largely as recurring class enrollments. Gyms occupy 2,800 to 4,200 square feet of leased space in strip centers and retail or office parks; the build-out, signage and a required equipment package bought from the franchisor make this a mid-six-figure storefront investment. New franchises are sold under a development agreement with a two-gym minimum. A Designated Manager, who may be an owner or a hired gym director, must work in the gym full time each day, and the Item 7 estimate assumes a salaried gym director from the start. The brand is part of Unleashed Brands. The system is almost entirely franchised and has grown steadily, adding about 70 net units over the last two fiscal years. Item 19 publishes quartile revenue and EBITDA data, and renewal requires remodeling to the current image.

Ideal owner profile

Owner who can hire, train and lead a full-time gym director and part-time coaching staff
Comfort with a parent-facing, enrollment-driven business built on retention and local marketing
Mid-six-figure capital for a leased build-out, plus willingness to commit to a second gym
Background in youth sports, education or multi-site service management is a plus
Semi-absentee owners can work through an approved Designated Manager
