GForce Gymnastics

Brand Summary

GForce Gymnastics & Parkour is a modern youth fitness franchise built to meet today’s families where traditional youth sports fall short. Founded in San Diego in 2008 and refined over 17+ years of successful operations, GForce combines gymnastics, parkour, and ninja-style training under one roof, creating a high-energy, inclusive environment that keeps kids engaged from toddlers through their teen years.

Unlike traditional gymnastics gyms that skew competitive or age out kids early, GForce is designed for long-term retention and broad appeal. Programs are progression-based, confidence-focused, and intentionally inclusive—often described by parents as “exercise disguised as fun.

From a business standpoint, GForce operates in the $40B+ U.S. youth sports market and is built around a recurring revenue engine. Monthly tuition with advance billing is supported by multiple income streams including camps, birthday parties, kids’ night out, events, and specialty programs—all run from a single, retail-friendly location.

The model is systemized and scalable, with proprietary lesson plans, standardized coach training through GForce University, and operating systems refined across six corporate locations prior to franchising. Owners do not need a gymnastics background; the brand is built for strong operators and leaders who can follow proven systems and grow into semi-absentee ownership within 6–12 months.

GForce is still early in franchising but not early in proof. With established unit economics, strong community demand, and significant white space nationally, it offers franchise partners the opportunity to enter a proven concept at an early growth stage—with the support of a founder-led team that has operated the business successfully for nearly two decades.
