Founded in the mid-1970s by innovative educator, musician and kinesiologist Robin Wes, The Little Gym® is now the leading children’s enrichment company and offers a unique business franchise opportunity. Robin’s idea was simple - to create a non-competitive, nurturing environment where children could explore their physical development, while also growing socially, emotionally and intellectually. Today, his original vision serves as a springboard for life’s adventures and a fun franchise opportunity.

Once we award a franchise, you have our commitment to help you thrive. Our team bends over backwards to provide the tools, training, and support you need. That way you can focus on the parts of the business you love. Like helping a toddler with their first somersault. Guiding a youngster through her balance beam routine. And hearing the cheers of proud, happy parents.

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. But they all shared something in common: the sense that "something was missing from their lives."

The Little Gym International, Inc. provides comprehensive support and innovative resources for both new owners and established members of our family. All of the departments at The Little Gym International, Inc. headquarters are solely devoted to providing you with the tools and assistance you need to be in business for yourself, not by yourself. That way you can concentrate on more important things, like positively impacting the lives of children in your community.
