Hello, Exciting news! After months of planning and setup, our new digital advertising partnership with Eulerity (pronounced you-ler-ity) is ready to be launched. Eulerity is our exclusive digital advertising partner for any gyms in the US and Canada that would prefer to outsource their digital advertising needs to a professional company, as opposed to the existing DIY setup. To learn more, please register for one of these two 30-minute informational webinars led by Eulerity. The webinar is open to owners and directors. It will be recorded for those who cannot attend: March 7 at 3 p.m. ET March 11 at 1 p.m. ET Why would a franchisee choose Eulerity over the DIY system that MGE has provided? Our DIY system covers only Meta Ads. Within the same budget recommendations, Eulerity is able to run “omni-channel campaigns” on Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) and on Google Ads (Google AdWords, Google Partner Website Network, and retargeting). Your ad dollars will automatically go to the place where we are getting the best...

A release is scheduled for Sunday, February 4th at 9:00 PM ET. The release will require a server reboot that may cause MGM and the website to go offline for 5-10 minutes. We aim to announce planned downtime with as much notice as possible. Sometimes, however, issues arise between announcement and release that necessitate rescheduling. We will keep you updated should any changes come about.Website Redesign UpdateWe wanted to give you a quick update on the status of the new-look website. Development of the technical components has been slightly delayed, so we will not meet our goal of launching at the end of January. A late February launch is most likely.

We’re so excited to formally announce we’ve recently completed testing My Gym Gripper Socks in 10 gyms nationwide with astoundingly positive results! The test gyms required all students to wear My Gym Gripper Socks while participating in all My Gym programs on the gym floor.

All you need to know now: After a year of planning and testing, gripper socks will become a mandate in all My Gyms by May 1st of this year. Every child participating in activities of any kind on the gym floor will be required to wear My Gym Gripper Socks.

Over the weekend, we worked directly with a few gyms to fix the enrollment number calculation. Thanks to the meticulous records these gyms kept, we were able to verify that the current numbers are where they should be. Please contact the Help Desk with any questions. +++ We understand that there is concern over some drops in numbers. We will spend the next few days analyzing the calculation again to ensure it is as accurate as possible. In the meantime, we recommend not factoring the paid enrollment number into any business decisions until further notice. We will send another update in a few days. Thank you and we apologize for any inconvenience. +++ Last year, the paid enrollments number and definition were updated to omit accounts that have reached the 6 weeks delinquent mark. Upon review of the calculation this week, we found these errors: Delinquents were removed too late at 8 weeks rather than 6 weeks. Class moves were counted as double enrollment in some cases. Enrollments starting...

From the moment Brooklynn Berryhill joined My Gym in 2010, she found herself on an incredible ride. Instantly feeling at home, she dedicated herself to the My Gym world, quickly progressing from Lead Teacher to Director at two Florida locations – Lake Mary and Maitland. Having demonstrated a wealth of exceptional skills and a whole lot of heart, Brooklynn was awarded “Director of the Year” 3 times and helped bring her gyms to their highest enrollment numbers with nearly 500 children enrolled. She also created and ran a successful dance program in the gyms that reached 120 dancers and entertained audiences of 600+ with onstage recitals twice a year. Brooklynn earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Advertising & Public Relations with a Minor in Business from the University of Central Florida in 2015. The following year, she joined the MGE Marketing Division part-time and began conducting on-site MGE Support Visits. Her role involved training owners, directors, and teachers; managing the @MyGymFun social accounts, and contributing to all organic social media...

My Gym Franchisees, After much analysis and thought, we are formally making the following changes to the core My Gym Model. While these changes are not mandated, we do feel that all My Gym franchisees should switch these policies and procedures for the reasons listed below. MODEL UPDATE: “New” Cancellation Policy What is changing? We are formally advising all My Gyms to switch back to the pre-pandemic cancellation policy: Cancelling requires a 30-day notice (NOT a full payment). We are also updating the policy to require that all cancellations be submitted online on the member’s My Gym account. Cancellations via email, text, or in person should no longer be permitted. This will ensure a smooth process in adherence with the new policy as well as leave a clear paper trail. Why is this changing? With the Premium Operations Model, we wanted to modernize our policies, so we adjusted the cancellation policy to give members the most flexibility possible. At this point, we feel the change is affecting enrollment and...

My Gym Franchisees, We have a couple of updates on your Marketing Fund. A New Name: The Marketing Fund will be known as the “Marketing and Services Fund” (MSF) going forward. We feel this is the most appropriate name, since the fund is primarily used to pay for business services that franchisees use day to day (email platform, texting platform, graphic design, etc.). A Refund: We are happy to announce that a refund is on its way to you now via paper check. The fund has been operating at a surplus. That surplus accumulated, and instead of allocating those funds, we will be providing you a refund. We hope you choose to allocate it to marketing efforts in your market. Refunds will be arriving in the next 2 weeks. Please direct any questions or comments to marketing@mygym.com. If you own multiple gyms, a single check might be coming to one of your locations with the total refund for all gyms. If you do not receive your check by the...

Rayna Lamberti began teaching at My Gym Pasadena in 2003 while earning her Liberal Studies degree at Cal Poly Pomona. After graduating and having proved herself to be an outstanding and talented My Gymer, she made the decision not to pursue her teaching credential and instead stay with My Gym. She transferred to My Gym Toluca Lake in 2006, where she acted as Director for 13 years. Additionally, as a valued member of the MGE Training Division, she helped train many franchisees and directors during her time at both gyms. Throughout her years at My Gym Toluca Lake, Rayna grew so much, as did her family! She married her husband, Joey, in 2007 and then welcomed twin boys, Jamison and Dominic, in 2012. Rayna loved being a My Gym teacher and director, but her passion for My Gym drove her to pursue ownership. In 2019, Rayna began the process of taking over ownership of My Gym Henderson and moved her family to Nevada. In January 2020, she started her...
