Use your transferable life or business skills to build a children’s activity business with recurring revenue
At First Gymnastics we organise weekly gymnastics classes and holiday camps for girls and boys aged 4 to 12. Classes and camps take place at venues, including local schools and sports centres.
We want children to progress in more ways than just Gymnastics. We want participants to be happy and active - to work in pairs and teams and to grow in confidence. To move forward, step-by-step, following our ethos. And always, to enjoy what they do with a smile on their faces.
“Once-upon-a-time, I was a Gymnast representing my region at national events. Then real-life took over, meaning university and a career in marketing with various blue-chip retailers.
Fast-forward …. with children of my own attending various after school activities, it got me thinking about my own adventures in gymnastics. The skills that I had gained, the characteristics enriched and most of all, the fun that I had.
And that lead to the development of First Gymnastics. We are already successfully operating across Cheshire, Manchester, Wirral, Merseyside and Hertfordshire. We are now looking for Franchise Partners in other parts of the UK to share in our success.”
Ruth, Founder of First Gymnastics
Our franchise opportunity
Our franchisees look after the business side of things e.g. sourcing new venues, establishing new events, reaching out to new gymnastic coaches or executing some marketing via social media.
And qualified gymnastics coaches, who you recruit, look after the gymnastics.
Parents and guardians ‘sign up’ via a monthly subscription. Monthly subscriptions mean recurring revenue streams thereby boosting the predictability of your cash-flow. And with three classes - Mini, Midi and Maxi - this extends the subscription lifecycle - and that’s good for business!
Setting up your business
We’ll help you assess and reach out venues in your territory - finding the most suitable ones for your First Gymnastics events. At the same time, we’ll help you recruit local coaches who will teach the gymnastics.
Next, we’ll help you launch your events using the First Gymnastics promotional tool-kit.
After your event is launched, we’ll help you to optimise class numbers - but always within the safe and permitted limits.
With the event up and running - it moves into a maintenance cycle. An event Leader may substitute for your attendance every week.
You’re then ready to ‘push on’ and find your next venue and launch your next event - building regular monthly subscriptions.
Cost of the franchise
Your investment of £8,250+vat includes FREE gym equipment worth £5400 (our exciting launch offer).
This includes everything you need to start your First Gymnastics business including flags and venue branding, along with 200 First Gymnastics t-shirts and certificates, First Gymnastics hoodies and polo shirts for coaches, event leaders and you, launch promotion for your event launches via social media and other online and offline channels and Head Office training and on-site support at your first events.
Ideal Partner
First Gymnastics is a Management Franchise and so you don’t need to be a gymnast as you’ll hire qualified gymnastics coaches. But, you’ll need to be:
- Organised
- Systematic - ensuring not least, that your automated payments are properly managed
- Thorough and methodical - maintaining our standards is important and safeguarding is vital.
- Inspiring - as you espouse our Smile - Move - Grow mantra.
- Fluent in English - both written and spoken is essential to operate the business
- Numerate and comfortable using web and phone based applications
Maybe you’ve worked in HR or talent acquisition, marketing or finance. Possibly a background in teaching or another regulated industry. Alternatively, perhaps you’ve developed these capabilities via your life journey - this is also 100% acceptable .
