Monthly Operational To-Do List – New Home & Format Launch

We’re excited to announce that the Monthly Operational To-Do Lists have received a full refresh and have been moved to a new location. These lists contain the highest-priority actions for ensuring your gym is safe, well-trained, and delivering high-quality programming every single month.

New Website Launch – Sunday, October 19 at 8PM ET

We are excited to announce that our new website redesign is finally launching this Sunday! There’s no sugarcoating it; for a variety of reasons, it has taken us a while to finally release the design we teased back in 2023. Thank you for your patience while we worked this out. We hope you enjoy the new look! There will be no major effect on MGM, and the front-end website should be down for only 5-10 minutes. There are a couple sections that you can customize at your convenience: Optional Owner Bio (Admin > Website > Owner Bio): This is new and separate from the existing Admin > Website > Our Story section, though you may copy and paste the same text in the new section. Reviews (Admin > Website > Reviews): Choose a few of your favorite reviews to share here. Simply add the star rating, reviewer name, and if you would like to display the review on the Homepage, Party page, or...

A Post-Summer Reminder from Your CEO

Dear My Gym Family, As summer winds down and we step into September, I want to share a quick but important reminder about one of the very best parts of our cherished My Gym business. Whether you’ve devoted many years of your life to My Gym, are currently coaching with us for just a short while, or find yourself somewhere in between—you are an invaluable part of what makes My Gym thrive. We all know that being a My Gym teacher can feel like a lot at times. There’s a wide range of skills, scripts, protocols, and curricula to learn. It takes energy, effort, and consistency. But as is true of most things in life, the things that matter most require dedication.

The Inside Scoop on the Achievement Program!

We’re so excited to roll out My Gym’s brand-new Achievement Program, designed to help families see, feel, and celebrate the incredible growth happening in every class! The program will launch in two phases: Phase 1: Parent Participation Classes (that’s what we’re kicking off in September!) – focus on parent education. Phase 2: Independent Classes – coming soon, with a focus on the individual child. So what’s this all about? 🤔The Achievement Program was created to: Enhance our curriculum and give it even more purpose and flow. Help parents understand the “why” behind what we do in class. Celebrate kids’ hard work, progress, and participation. Strengthen retention as families grow with us. Here’s how it works in Phase 1: Every four weeks, we’ll spotlight three focuses – two body and one mind –in our curriculum. While classes remain packed with variety, we’ll highlight specific skills (like tumbling, balancing, or climbing) and developmental goals (like problem-solving, cooperation, or spatial awareness). These focuses will be shared with parents so they can see the bigger picture of how each activity supports their child’s growth. 👉 Important...

Safety Announcement

The following is an update to the safety announcement released on July 2, 2025: It has been determined that the repetitive use of the Merry-Go-Round swing (and perhaps the Tire swing) on the same swing support system strap has likely caused irreparable damage to that strap. The “winding” of the strap weakens the material, and we have had incidents where the strap has failed, fortunately without injuries. We are adding a stress test of the straps to the mandated semiannual maintenance checklist. The first test should be performed immediately. Follow the steps below, and for video directives, click here. Loop the end of a piece of rope large enough to step through. On the other end, secure a carabiner so that the looped end is approximately 3-4 inches from the ground. Have one or more staff members wearing sneakers stand on the rope/s so the straps are supporting the full load. Ideally, the total weight of the staff members will be approximately 200 pounds. Remain supported for approximately 5-10...

Merch Update

This is an update regarding all things merch at MGE. New Member Fun Pack clarity and Welcome Gift options moving forward are addressed. Please reach out to the contact info provided with any questions. Contact: merch@mygym.com, ashahrani@mygym.comEffective Immediately: The New Member Fun Pack and the Goodie Box have been retired because what we have found to be most important to both Franchisees and New Members is the feeling of a high-quality My Gym T-Shirt. First impressions are everything. That’s why we’re excited to introduce new bulk pricing that makes it easier than ever to create memorable welcome packages for your newest My Gymers. Why NMFP Retirement?

Thus, we’re offering bulk purchase discounts that will enable you to present your members with a meaningful gift that gives you marketing exposure and is...
