As the U.S. economy continues to strengthen and households generate more disposable income, families have additional money to put toward child recreational and enrichment activities. Consumer demand for kid’s gyms has consistently been a primary driver for overall growth in the children’s fitness industry.

According to the latest IBISWorld market research report about children’s fitness center franchises in the U.S., the industry revenue was estimated to be roughly $550 million. In the past six years, extracurricular recreational and enrichment classes for children have steadily grown about two percent. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, that trend shows no signs of slowing down, as consumer spending in childhood enrichment and education is projected to increase 2 percent annually in the next six years.

The initial costs of entry into the children’s fitness center franchises industry are considerably low, especially compared to the food and hospitality industry. One of the biggest expenses associated with children’s gyms is equipment; however, business owners can keep costs relatively low and can ensure a longer life span for capital assets like equipment by working with a franchise system with well-established partnerships with equipment suppliers.
