I was surprised and impressed to see a Google ad for a program in my area called The Little Gym®. (Not many gymnastics programs are using Google ads.)
The excellent website tells of 300 locations in 21 countries.
Click through if you might be interested.
In order to open a The Little Gym location, a candidate must have a net worth (assets minus liabilities) of at least $250,000. Additionally, the candidate must have $75,000 in liquid assets in order to be considered. …
Leave a comment if you have experience with any of those gyms.

I appreciate the effort of having the kids active, but their gymnastics program is so much just for fun(money), I’ve seen many talented kids losing to much time in those “gyms”. Please send them to real gymnastics clubs, from an former Olympic gymnast
Good point, Nick. … Hopefully the coaches and parents will “see” conspicuous talent at the Little Gym. Then move on those children.
there’s another franchise in the usa called my gym. its similar in that you always see them in strip malls
Yep, in fact I have a friend who missed the boat to get on with theLittleGym.
I’ve heard a common complaints from competitive coaches that the problem with these super-rec gyms is they may have kids who have talent go to waste. They’ll never have the work ethic after these sort of gyms to amount to anything or adapt to difference in training at competitive gyms.
Another thing I’ve heard from many coaches is ” I really want one of them as a side business ” because they are very profitable.
They have some interesting programs and they do keep themselves very clean. I still think bigger rec gyms make more sense but there is a lot more overhead still.
