After ten years of successfully bringing fun kid’s health and fitness activities into preschools and after-school programs, Kickin’ Flips is franchising. The children’s fitness experts have developed a comprehensive children’s franchise system based on their unique mobile concept. Franchisees receive everything they need to get their service-based children’s franchise opportunity up and running quickly, including plenty of hands-on training and support.

“We’re looking for people who are kid - friendly and want to make a difference in the community,” says Kirt Galiano, founder and president of Kickin’ Flips kids’ fitness and health franchise opportunity.  “We want someone who’s a motivated business person and who has a good awareness of health and fitness. We provide everything so that the franchisee can get started immediately after finishing our training program.”

Kickin’ Flips serves children and parents by offering innovative health, and fitness programs to existing schools. Trained instructors go to school premises before, during, or after school, bringing athletic equipment and a complete kid’s fitness program that helps children grow in strength, agility, and coordination while having fun. Franchise programs include: Kickin’ Karate,  Tiny Tumbling,  Jumpin Gymnastics,  Funtastic Fitness, Summer Fun Field Days,  and are designed for children ages 2 to 11.

Galiano came up with the mobile fitness program concept back in 1995 following years of experience in youth camps and martial arts. “I saw the need for structured physical activity programs at the places where I worked,” he says. “Children need fitness and they need to work towards a goal, because it keeps them healthy and builds their self-esteem.”

Our very first preschool fitness program was an instant hit. After doing this for a decade, Galiano is ready to share his success formula with enthusiastic franchisees. “Since we offer customers several different children’s programs that involve karate, gymnastics, tumbling, and other skills,” explains Galiano, “Our franchisees can take advantage of the diversity built into our programs.”

Mr. Galiano estimates the total investment required to launch a Kickin’ Flips franchise to run between $43,650 and $52,250. This includes nine days of extensive training, pre-opening assistance, ongoing support, office and sports equipment, insurance, three months of working capital, initial advertising, and a franchise fee of $24,950. In addition to being a low-cost, home-based, flexible franchise, a Kickin’ Flips unit is appealing for another very important reason.

“You’re teaching kid’s health and fitness at an early age,” says Galiano. “If the kids go home with a smile, you know you’ve made a difference.”
