Gymnast, kinesiologist and musician Robin Wes had a unique idea: to give children the opportunity to build their motor skills, as well as social, emotional and intellectual skills, in a fun, magical, 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. with the purpose of franchising the Robin Wes concept. The Little Gym has grown absolutely amazing. We have more than 400 units spread around the world. There is a fantastic core team dedicated to helping our unit owners achieve their dreams. And Robin Wes continues to be 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 master from Portugal covers the various areas of the business, from the stage of finding a space, understanding the business to the pre-opening phase, training, opening, operational and financial management.
There is the possibility of speaking to several members of The Little Gym, whether they are clients, owners or technicians, in order to gather the maximum information 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 consulted from anywhere in the world.
Investment is undoubtedly the first question we receive when an entrepreneur is interested in the concept. The total value of the investment will vary depending on the location, the works required, personnel costs in the geographical area and capital. Although there are some variables, we can list the main values:
As a member of the network there is a monthly contribution of 6% on revenue. This value ensures permanent support for the business, access to all tools and services, as well as the permanent and continuous development of the brand.
Like any business, success depends largely on the team and how each franchisee develops their business as a whole. There is 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.
