When Adriana Lopez had her first child, she took him to mom and baby fitness classes in her native Mexico. She discovered a passion for children's fitness and motor development and dreamed of owning her own children's fitness centre one day. She realized that dream when she and her husband, Alfonso Quiroga, opened a My Gym – Children’s Fitness Center franchise in 2013.
"We have two kids now," says Alfonso, "and this is perfect for us. We can have our kids with us while we work and we can share our knowledge and passion with other families."
My Gym operates classes for babies as young as six weeks up to children aged 13. "We help parents develop their kids' motor skills," says Alfonso. "As soon as children start to crawl, we can help them move to walking faster and let them do it in a safe and fun environment."
