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.

Demand for classes is consistently high with Gymnastics having such wide appeal.  Each year a new cohort of Gymnasts come to join us as they start school and also start their journey with First Gymnastics.

We are already successfully operating across Cheshire, Manchester, Wirral, Merseyside and Hertfordshire and are now looking for Franchise Partners in other parts of the UK to share in our success

The opportunity for new Franchise Partners is to put on First Gymnastics Events in their area that can generate earnings of more than £75k per year*.  With customer payments by subscription, this also means recurring revenue each month.

*Based on 11 Events across 5 Venues

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 .

Success Story
Meet Chloe Phillips, First Gymnastic Franchisee Chilterns

Chloe Phillips had always wanted to be her own boss.

Having always worked with children, she knew it was an area she would love to continue working in, and so when a friend introduced her to First Gymnastics, she knew it was the franchise for her.
