Founder
— Christina Gambino, 4x American Ninja Warrior
“Before I even opened the first Jumptwist Ninja location, I knew it would become a franchise. Every decision I made, I asked myself: Would this work with 100+ locations?
Eleven months in, the pandemic hit—but because of our membership model and flexible systems, we survived and kept kids moving from home. That adaptability is now built into our training programs.
I’ve solved the problems most ninja gym owners face—because I had to. I wish I didn’t have to figure it all out alone, but now I can hand those solutions to other business owners and help make their journey smoother.
This is a hard business to do alone. That’s why Team Jumptwist exists. The systems, the mentorship, the support—everything I wish I had when I started is now what we provide.
My support team is unmatched. Everyone on it has worked in multiple roles and delivers a five-star experience for our franchisees. When you hit an obstacle, you won’t be alone—I’ll be there, and so will the entire team.
This franchise is everything I needed, and now it’s here for you.”

What makes Jumptwist Ninja different from other kids’ gyms or ninja franchises?
Jumptwist stands out in the ninja gym industry by serving a wider age range than most facilities—starting with our Baby Ninja program. This expands our target market and unlocks multiple revenue streams. Our brand is rooted in authenticity, built by real American Ninja Warriors and World Ninja League champions, and powered by a mission to build strength, confidence, and community in every athlete.
We don’t just run classes—we build a movement. Our proprietary level-based curriculum, nationally recognized Team Jumptwist, and strong community culture keep students engaged and progressing for years. Jumptwist gyms are designed with intentionality—smaller, more manageable footprints that maximize revenue per square foot, making them easier to staff and scale.
We go beyond fitness by catering to families with unmatched convenience: complimentary coffee, healthy vending options, and even free fitness center memberships for parents. These thoughtful touches drive loyalty and incentivize enrollment.
With creative, ever-evolving revenue streams and a passionate team behind you, there’s always room to grow with Team Jumptwist.
How long does it take to open a gym?
Most new franchisees open their doors within 6 to 9 months. The timeline depends on finding the perfect location, local permitting, lease negotiation, and buildout—but you’ll have our support the whole way. Once that is settled, the actual build of the equipment is super simple and fast! We source our equipment in the United States so you don't need to worry about International shipping, tariffs, or waiting for customs.
