Get Kids Moving!: Top Child Franchises for Fitness and Fun

It’s no secret that kids these days need to get more activity. From high-calorie, low nutrition convenience foods that many rely on day in and day out, to the propensity for today’s kids to spend time in front of a television or computer screen, obesity is on the rise. By opening up a fitness and activity centered child franchise you are helping be a solution to the problem. Classes, gyms, groups and activity centers are all ways that you can help families in your local community get more active and build the foundation for a longer, healthier life.

Here are five child franchises that help kids become more active.

1. Mile High Karate

    Mile High Karate has been in business for over 25 years. As a Mile High Karate owner, you’ll help kids stay fit and build their self esteem at the same time. You don’t even have to be a martial arts student in order to own your own Mile High Karate franchise. The franchise will give you basic training as well as help in hiring professional martial arts teachers.

    2. I9 Sports

      I9 Sports has helped over 100,000 kids in the last three years and has become one of the most recognizable community based youth sports leagues. As an owner, you’ll operate youth sports leagues, child development and after school programs that focus on fitness and fun rather than competition. When you invest in the franchise, you’ll have five days of comprehensive classroom training, two days of field training in your territory and unlimited long term support from a coach.

      1. Kickin’ Flips

      Getting kids involved in fitness and activity as early as possible is important to help them create lifelong fitness habits. Kickin’ Flips is based on this philosophy. This preschool fitness program combines simple martial arts moves with an upbeat and energetic environment. This appeals to kids in this age group and is fun for parents as well. Your Kickin’ Flips center will benefit from marketing and advertising help, as well as small business management training from the franchisor. 

      3. Stretch-N-Grow

        Stretch-N-Grow is a kid’s fitness program that helps educators and parents get more activity into the lives of young ones. Since 1992, the franchise has been growing. It provides a much needed service with a unique business model. Rather than having a physical location for your business, you’ll operate from day care centers. You’ll have an exclusive territory of 50 day care centers.  You’ll teach small classes where children are already present and have a flexible work environment.

        4. Romp n’ Roll

          Romp n’ Roll has a unique approach to fitness that incorporates art and music in to the mix. Kids have fun exercising both their minds and imaginations in innovative classes and workshops that run the gamut from Silly Science to Gym. Other Romp n’ Roll class options include Princess Class, Good Sports and Superheroes. This truly unique kid’s sports franchise opportunity allows you to set up six to twelve week classes in your community at your facility.
