CONNECT WITH US


With more than 300 locations across the globe, The Little Gym is the world’s premier experiential learning and physical development center for kids ages four months through 12 years. Each week, progressively structured classes and a positive learning environment create opportunities for children to try new things and build self-confidence, all with a grin that stretches from ear to ear.

The Little Gym owners are actively involved in a concept that has a 35-year heritage of nurturing happy, confident kids through a range of programs and classes. That means we are creating a fun, rewarding environment for both members and owners all around the globe. Now that’s something to smile about!

Good people just like you

Just like The Little Gym® members, our franchise owners come from all different backgrounds. Some were attorneys. Some doctors. Some teachers. Some moms. Others had careers in sales and marketing. Many were successful business owners. But they all shared something in common: the sense that “something was missing from their lives.”

If that's how you feel, it's time for a career change. Join the family of committed leaders whose passion is helping children, making a difference in their communities, and having fun in the process.

“We have never looked back since the day we purchased our first territory. This is an honest, moral, well run franchise and worth every penny we invested and every dollar we pay in royalties.”
