To Love And Nurture All Children Through Meaningful Play
My Gym was born out of our passion to teach children in a fun, physically engaging environment. We delighted in seeing children's eyes light up for all those incredible milestones, from the tentative first steps to tumbling down soft mats. Sharing the parents’ excitement at their children’s accomplishments was the high point of our day.
Picture this: In 1983, three fitness enthusiasts—Yacov, Susi Sherman, and Bill Caplin—redefined children's fitness by blending dance, gymnastics, and athletics. That's the birth of My Gym! Their mission: create a space just for kids—no more sharing mom's or dad's gym, but My Gym. With backgrounds in dance, gymnastics, and athletics, they crafted a unique fitness curriculum focused on non-competitive skill building for ages 6 weeks to 14 years. Fast forward: Cory and Monique turned My Gym into a franchise sensation in 1994. The success was undeniable, growing from 100 kids to over 400 in a year. Now a global phenomenon, My Gym is consistently ranked the #1 children's program worldwide.

Ryan DebinOwner
Ryan Debin’s journey with My Gym began in 2012 when his own children were enrolled and absolutely loved every class. When he learned the owner was selling, Ryan saw an opportunity to keep that special experience alive — for his family and for others in the community.
What started with one location soon grew into a passion for helping families discover the joy, confidence, and connection that My Gym brings. Today, Ryan owns and operates multiple My Gym locations across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York.
Through his company, Momentum Enterprises, Ryan also operates other well-loved family and fitness brands in the area.
Ryan hopes that your family loves being part of My Gym just as much as his did — and that your kids leave every class smiling a little bigger and standing a little taller.
Ryan has been part of the My Gym family since his oldest son began classes at the age of 10 months. Ryan fell in love with My Gym and now, more than ten years later, he is the 2017 Worldwide Franchisee of the Year and the owner of no fewer than seven My Gyms! Ryan is an avid fan of movement (triathlons, marathons, snowboarding, basketball, hockey, lifting – anything physical!). He loves his family, which now includes four sons, and the My Gym staff. Ryan cares most about helping people develop and creating extraordinary experiences for our clients.
