Tom Zino:
"I founded Gym On Wheels in Westchester County, New York in 2004. I had ten years of experience in the children’s fitness industry and a dream to bring a quality gymnastics and physical skills program to young children attending local daycare centers, preschools, church programs, Montessori Schools, J.C.C. programs, after school centers, synagogue programs, and summer camps. I created a program that combines music, aerobics, gymnastics, and creative games that enhance gross and fine motor skills in structured classes that children love.
The company’s growth was fueled by my love for teaching gymnastics and physical skills programs and children’s natural hunger for exercise. The next 12 years saw continuous growth as I added a staff of instructors with the same core values and approach to teaching children’s gymnastics. As word continued to spread about this new and unique approach, Gym On Wheels continued to grow.
Today, together with my incredible staff of instructors, I believe we have redefined what it means to bring a quality gymnastics, exercise and physical skills program to children. As of this writing, thousands of children from an ever-growing list of centers, have been a part of the Gym On Wheels experience."
Minimum capital required is $30,000, and this includes a $14,900 franchise fee. No experience is necessary, and complete training includes how to conduct classes, and how to market to centers. A discount of $5,000 is offered to veterans and civil service employees, current and retired.
Our unique, age appropriate classes for toddlers, preschool/pre-K and 6 to 9-year old’s, combine stretching exercises, aerobics to music, basic gymnastic skills, games and lots of fun in a high energy, motivating, self-esteem building and nurturing atmosphere.
