Who we are

A bold idea, a thriving business

Every great business begins with a need, a vision and an opportunity. The Little Gym® founder, Robin Wes, realised that success in life starts from an early age. He imagined a place where children could acquire skills and confidence in an environment that’s positive, nurturing, non-competitive and fun. Having never encountered such a place, he started one himself!

Today, his original vision has become a powerful business opportunity for many entrepreneurs who become, at the same time, part of a thriving network. After decades of research and hands-on experience, The Little Gym® has more than 300 franchises in over 20 countries worldwide; all focused on helping children achieve a lifetime of success.

In Europe, a quality executive management team guides the growth of The Little Gym® European network under the leadership of CEO Alexander de Wit. After a successful track record working as a Management Consultant, Alexander “fell in love” with The Little Gym® programme first as a parent. Soon after, he opened his first franchise in Waterloo (Belgium) and then went on to acquire the master franchise for Europe, with one objective in mind: to set-up a platform enabling other entrepreneurs, who share the same passion for children’s well-being, to pursue the same dream and open their own The Little Gym®.
