About Us!
- Our owner: Dave Ames got his Masters in teaching from Tuft University and is a former high school science teacher and college athlete. Dave has successfully run My Gyms on the South Shore since 2008!
- College & Graduate Students - Many of our teachers are getting their undergraduate and graduate degrees. We've had countless students work for us that eventually become elementary school teachers, occupational or physical therapists, nurses, etc.
- Recent College Graduates - Many of our teachers joined My Gym because after graduating they wanted a job where they could be active with kids and make a difference in their lives. Some of our recent graduates also teach dance or have another part-time job.
- Career Changers - Some of our teachers joined My Gym to escape desk jobs, daycare jobs, nannying jobs, sales jobs, etc. They chose My Gym for the following reasons: Flexible work schedule; desire to be active at work; work with likeminded people; develop teaching and entertaining skills; have a job that truly benefits kids and families.
- High School Graduates - A few of our teachers have high school degrees and are still considering college. Our training program let's you develop teaching and customer service skills in a job environment that is active, social and very fun!
- About the Franchise: We have two locations (Norwell and Braintree) , but we’re part of a global franchise with 180+ locations in the US and hundreds more around the world. Several of our teachers have moved to other parts of the country and continued working for other My Gyms after their move.
Every day at over 700 My Gyms in over 20 countries worldwide, children have loads of fun as they develop physically, cognitively, and emotionally. My Gym programs focus on growth in all three categories because we view each step of development in these areas as a “building block” toward becoming a happy, healthy, well-adjusted human being. The thrill of accomplishment from achieving a physical task builds self-esteem and confidence that carry over into all aspects of a child’s life. My Gym’s program helps children develop independence, self-discipline, social skills and even a sense of humor, all of which lead to an increased feeling of self-worth. A child who feels good about him/herself has a jump start on the path to success.
The My Gym program is the most innovative in the children’s educational fitness industry. In addition to the development of award-winning programs for children ages 6 weeks to 10 years, My Gym Enterprises has also developed financial, marketing, and administrative systems that help our franchisees every step of the way as they grow their business. MGE’s continuing support to our franchisees is unparalleled in the field of franchising.
HISTORY
The innovative My Gym concept began bouncing around in 1983 when our three founders – Yacov and Susi Sherman and Bill Caplin – collaborated to create a truly unique children’s fitness curriculum. Each having a different fitness-focused background: dance, gymnastics, and overall athletics, the trio put together a program that combined all three.
Their ultimate goal? To give kids a place to call their own – not mom’s gym, not dad’s gym – my gym.
Enter Cory Bertisch and Monique Vranesh, family friends of the Shermans. With Cory and Monique’s aid and ambition, the My Gym franchise opportunity became official in 1994 and spread strategically across the United States before expanding internationally in 2008.
