Thank you for your interest in the My Gym Children’s Fitness Center opportunity. Since the early 1980’s there has been tremendous growth in the children’s fitness industry and we at My Gym are proud to be the leader in our field.

We are excited to introduce our new My Gym Mobile Franchise:

What is My Gym Mobile?
My Gym mobile is an extraordinary fitness program devised to help children 3 thru 9 years develop physically, cognitively and emotionally. Our structured, age-appropriate, weekly classes incorporate music, dance, puppets, relays, games, gymnastics, sports and other original activities. My Gym kids have fun as they exercise and gain strength, balance, coordination, agility, flexibility and social skills. The most important benefit we offer, however, is the building of confidence and self-esteem. A child who feels good about him or herself has a jump-start on the path of becoming a healthy, well adjusted young adult.

Where do I Operate My Gym Mobile?
Your My Gym Mobile Franchise will be operated out of your home. You will market to the 50 to 75 daycare/preschool type facilities in your protected territory. You will lead My Gym’s award-winning, noncompetitive, structured classes in facilities that choose to enhance their curricula with the unique program you have to offer.

The President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports has published studies revealing that millions of our children are overweight, inactive and below minimum standards for strength, flexibility and endurance. The need for more children’s gyms is apparent, and the field offers an abundance of opportunities to those who love kids.

My Gym Children’s Fitness Center has built a system in which every facet of opening and operating a business is handled, from construction to decoration, training to advertising. Our pre-opening, post opening and continuing support to our franchisees is unparalleled in the field of franchising.
Featured Franchisee:

“The thing that really sets this franchise apart from others is the people. They’re always there for anything we need. They’re great! My brother now owns a gym, and I’m about to open my second one. I just love My Gym!”
~Rina Parente, Plantation, FL

When considering a path to your financial dreams, it’s very rare that one can become financially independent working for anyone else. So, is franchising your answer?

It’s a common misperception that owning a franchise is the answer to all our financial dreams. For a select few this may be the case, or may ‘have been’ the case. Today’s franchise environment isn’t what it used to be.

For starters, in the old days – at the beginning of the franchise boom, getting a McDonald’s franchise was actually within reach for the small, hard working entrepreneur who had the drive and passion to run his own business, but simply need a proven path to follow. Many of those early McDonald’s franchisees got wealthy due largely to the appreciation of their real estate assets (that dirt they purchase way back in the beginning turned out to be some of the most valuable in any market) – who knew!

Today, that environment has changed dramatically. Not only are the requirement significantly different, the harsh reality is that “the perception of rewards” is often very different than reality. The American Franchisee Association, a trade association that represents franchisees nationwide, reports that many members are unhappy with the franchises they purchased. Many say they would have made different choices if they’d known before what they learn after getting involved.

But a franchise is supposed to be a perfected business model almost ensuring your success – right? Wrong! Franchises now have a failure rate that exceeds 30%! Franchises also offer poor profitability when you factor what equals 6%-18% of gross sales for royalties and other fees going to the franchisor. Combine that with excessive up front costs (Avg. capital investment exceeds $500k) and a legal notebook full of rules and regulations that must be followed, I ask you seriously is a franchise really something you should even consider?

What about the Internet? How many entrepreneurial businesses, services and ways to earn money online have been created by Google, eBay, Yahoo and the hundreds of other online enterprises?

With the internet, you don’t need a significant amount of start-up capital and can be “in business” within a matter of a few hours to a few days. Yes, making money online is more than just having a website. But, I dare you to compare the returns that are possible through a well run internet business as compared to that of a franchise!

More importantly, there are so many ways to earn money online that you don’t even have to have your own unique idea, product or service. Simply learning how to market on the internet puts within your reach profits from Affiliate commissions or developing your own direct sales business.

Online marketing isn’t for everyone – but neither is a franchise. Today, more than at any time in our history people are in need of earning more income, either part or full time. Today, more than any time in our history the internet is available to a larger percentage of the worlds population making each of them your potential customer.

Still considering a franchise? I encourage you consider online opportunities too. Who knows, you may find yourself in the same position financially as some of those original McDonald’s franchisees – laughing all the way to the bank.

Have you been searching for just the right franchise opportunity to meet your goals and dreams of financial security? A franchise that furnishes you with a great return on your investment and allows you to work reasonable hours so you have time for your family, friends and other interests? An opportunity that is simple to operate and comes with an unparalleled support network? Then look no further. ANDY ONCALL® could be the business for you.

ANDY ONCALL® started when Tom Harris, a Chattanooga homebuilder, was constantly receiving calls from previous customers and friends asking him to do small jobs and repairs around their homes. Realizing the need for handyman services, Tom developed the concept for ANDY ONCALL® in 1993, and his company has been happily helping homeowners ever since.

ANDY ONCALL® is an inexpensive, manageable franchise opportunity in the home repair industry. We are a customer service organization in the truest sense of the word, helping craftsmen as well as homeowners. ANDY ONCALL® benefits the craftsmen who need our assistance obtaining work and managing the business side of performing minor home repairs. Homeowners benefit from our assistance in locating a professional, reliable source for getting their minor home repairs completed with a guarantee.

Competitive Edge
Our company is attractive to homeowners because we have introduced a new level of professionalism to the handyman industry. In these days of increasing concerns about security, many homeowners are leery of allowing a stranger into their homes. Knowing they are working with a professional organization relieves these customers’ anxiety. In addition, we offer our customers the advantages of approved, qualified and monitored craftsmen; insurance; a one-year warranty and an organization that stands behind its work. Further, through our pool of craftsmen, we offer one-stop shopping for a variety of home repair needs. All of these benefits make ANDY ONCALL® the perfect choice for homeowners and you, the franchisee.

Rapidly growing demand

There are several key social and economic forces causing the market potential for JumpBunch to expand rapidly, including:

* Double-income families – With both parents working in most families and a growing number of single parent households, some 70% of kids are in daycare or before/after care programs all day long.
* Inactive children – More and more parents and educators are sensitive to risks associated with obesity and are searching for programs that will keep kids active and help build positive attitudes about sports and fitness.

Are you wondering how sports franchises are started? There is a wealth of information about franchising on the internet and finding a franchise opportunity is easier than you think. The most important thing is to find a suitable niche that appeals to you and that you follow the franchise agreement and manuals you receive. Sometimes you can begin a sports franchise for as little as $5,000.

Sports franchises come with many exciting bonuses. First of all, the customer base for this type of franchise is usually established and fiercely loyal. The brand name is already associated with quality and performance so you need to do very little work, and a sports franchise requires very little startup cash and investment. Additionally, the franchising business in general is low-risk with only 5% resulting in failure (compared to more than 50% for small businesses). Each franchise can be examined to see which suits you best.

When most people think of a sports business franchise, they think of basketball, baseball, football and hockey logo jerseys, jackets and hats. However, there are also sports-themed businesses to consider. For instance, Snap Fitness is one of the top-producing fitness franchises because their gyms are open 24/7, their employees are knowledgeable and they use the best security surveillance systems to ensure safety. Sports retail franchise, Nevada Bob’s Golf, offers specialty golf products. Future Stars Sports Photography is a training center for sports photography offering great products and customer service.

There will always be a place in America for sports franchises. Locals will always want merchandise and memorabilia for their hometown heroes. Yet in some instances, dream teams or playoff teams entice fans from beyond their borders to buy. According to the Ultimate Standings list, the top ten franchises (in order) are: the Indianapolis Colts, the San Antonio Spurs, the New Orleans Hornets, the Green Bay Packers, the Anaheim Ducks, the Los Angeles Angels, the Detroit Tigers, the Detroit Pistons, the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Do you dream of owning your own business or would you be happy just operating successful franchises? By trading in a little of your independence, you can buy the rights to a successful business strategy, name brand and support system. Each year Entrepreneur Magazine looks at the Franchise 500 list of the most successful franchise businesses in the country. Before buying, it’s a good idea to get your franchise information here.

It is the seventeenth year that 7-Eleven has been in the top 10 of the Franchise 500 list, but it is the first year it claimed the top spot. Times weren’t always easy for the franchises parent company. In 1991, they declared bankruptcy and were bought up by Seven & i Holdings in Japan. Yet their recent growth is attributed to the number of dedicated franchise owners added in recent years. “Our big reason for that is our franchisees have a vested interest in being successful,” says Joseph DePinto, president and CEO of 7-Eleven. “They know their customers, and it’s about delivering great customer satisfaction and the products our customers want. Our franchisees do that extremely well.”

Seven out of ten franchises are fast food franchises. Subway comes in at #2 after fifteen years at #1. This year, the healthy sub shop (with startup costs from $76,100 to $227,800) has grown to 28,000 franchised stores worldwide. The 5,451 US Dunkin Donut franchises have been in the top 10 since 2004, with its fair trade espressos, cappuccinos and breakfast items.

Pizza Hut comes in at #4, with 9,881 restaurant franchises and startup costs from $1.1 to $1.7 million. McDonald’s has made the top spot eight times and the top 10 twenty-seven times. To open a McDonald’s franchise, it will require $506,000 to $1.6 million in startup costs. Sonic Drive In Restaurants, KFC, InterContinental Hotels Group, Domino’s Pizza and ReMax Realty are also in the top 10.

The top 10 franchises predominantly share a similar industry; fast food franchises. Yet there are many other franchises available from retail and restaurants to real estate and technology. Having startup capital to cover fees, location leasing and supplies is necessary but it’s also easier to get a small business loan for a franchise than for a small independent business. Many franchise owners say the support system, the well-known name brand and the no-brainer approach to management is what makes a franchise agreement so appealing.
