MyFirstGym is a one stop fitness shop for children and is a much needed initiative for families and communities, that’s proving to be a sound opportunity for franchise investors with a compelling purpose. By developing a creative concept based on the science of physical literacy, MyFirstGym will continue to make a real difference to the lives of Australian and international families.
The MyFirstGym aims to help children live a healthier and more active lifestyle, to combat the ongoing increase in child obesity. With 9 out of 10 children not getting the recommended amount of movement each day, we’re having a positive impact by making fitness fun and exciting for our members.
One Stop Fitness Shop:
We have made it our mission to supply a one stop fitness shop for busy parents. MyFirstGym Development Classes are the building blocks of a fit and healthy life and the Specialty Classes give children a fun, flexible introduction to specialty sports and disciplines. Our sibling-centric timetable, free play and drop and run facilities make it easy for families to incorporate MyFirstGym into their lives and busy schedules.
Smart Technology and Gamified Experience:
Technology is undeniably ingrained in modern society. Brands that aren’t keeping up with the fast paced technological marketplace are quickly being left behind, and those who are at the forefront of innovation are being rewarded with strong returns and customer loyalty. The MyMovementBuddy is a specially developed and patented fitness tracker designed to be worn in and outside of class. Children are encouraged to kick start their movement points at home or school and then watch them skyrocket during class via the user-friendly mobile app.
Elevated Facility Experience:
Built to inspire little and big kids, our club design is fresh, vibrant and exciting, with many studios including a purpose-built yoga and dance studio. Our specialised equipment is designed to ignite the imagination and make all MyFirstGym classes stimulating and entertaining. All facilities are set up with comfortable work stations, Wi-Fi and café facilities so that parents have an enjoyable destination to stay if they choose.
Why us
The Market
The untapped potential for a commercial children’s fitness service is undeniable, with little national competition and no recent innovation evident in the space. The gym and fitness centre industry, targeting 18-35s, has grown strongly over the past five years, recording a sales revenue of $2.1 Billion and a 9.3% growth rate while undergoing considerable structural change. The rapid growth of the adult sector, and the growing child obesity epidemic presents an enormous opportunity for the children’s fitness industry.
