Space Flight Lawsuit Update

Dear My Gym Family, A little over a year ago, we experienced a catastrophic accident at a My Gym that resulted in the death of a 7-year-old boy named Brady.  This tragic accident was the result of human error, both in setting up and in spotting the Space Flight activity – a set of circumstances and errors that resulted in the worst conceivable outcome.  We continue to grieve, and our thoughts are with the family.  We will be speaking about the actual accident at our My Gym Town Hall on Thursday 12/19.  We invite all My Gym owners and directors to attend. Click here to register. Because we have a responsibility to our My Gym organization, and also to continue to bring our wonderful program to thousands of communities around the world, we are now going to turn to the more practical side of this matter.  We will provide you with as many details as possible and explain how we are moving forward, never forgetting the impact this accident...

Resale of Henderson, NV

It is always very exciting when a new gym opens, or a new owner takes over a gym. It is especially exciting for us as a company when that new owner is someone who started as an employee and was motivated and driven to achieve more. Rayna Lamberti is the latest employee/director to make that jump to ownership. Not only has she dedicated the past 15 years to the families of Toluca Lake; she has also overseen the training of hundreds of owners and employees from around the world. Later this month, Rayna and her husband, Joey, will be relocating their family to Henderson, NV where they will take over as owners. While the move and transition won’t be an easy one for the Lambertis, the same can be said for Amy Eastman, owner of the Toluca Lake location. Amy has shown complete selflessness in supporting her friend’s transition despite having to lose an irreplaceable director. Congratulations to all; MGE is thrilled to welcome Rayna and Joey as our...
