The Story Behind GymSchool Licensing

Adrian and Marie’s journey to licensing GymSchool began with a vision to revolutionize gymnastics for children in New Zealand. Marie, deeply passionate about the impact of gymnastics on child development, had always envisioned expanding her reach. The turning point came post-COVID, when investors approached Marie with interest in buying a region, recognizing the potential of her innovative programs.

Inspired by this interest, Marie and Adrian decided to license their unique model,  ensuring that traditional gymnastics programs could be tailored to meet the specific needs of school children in New Zealand. This led to the creation of GymSchool.NZ, a comprehensive and accessible gymnastics program designed to foster the physical, cognitive, and emotional growth of School Children.

By licensing GymSchool, Adrian and Marie aim to share their proven approach with passionate individuals and organizations, creating a network of programs dedicated to helping children become happy, healthy, and focused. Their commitment to excellence and community impact continues to drive the success of GymSchool.NZ, making quality gymnastics coaching in schools available to more children across the country.

A Legacy of Sporting Passion:

Adrian and Marie's journey into the world of sports is deeply rooted in their family sporting traditions.

The Gymnastic Academy Legacy:

Establishing its roots in the Bay of Plenty in 2011, The Gymnastic Academy, founded by Marie, has been a beacon of light, illuminating the path for children to embark on a journey of fundamental gymnastic learning. Over the years, it has expanded its reach, extending its impact to the Waikato region in 2017.

The Birth of GymSchool:

The evolution from The Gymnastic Academy to GymSchool was not just a change in name but a strategic response to the evolving needs of the community. Post-COVID, community investors sought to contribute to a thriving environment and decided to acquire a zone. Recognizing the need for a gymnastics program tailored to meet the unique needs of primary school children in New Zealand, GymSchool was born.

A Vision Beyond Traditional Gymnastics:

Adrian and Marie envisioned GymSchool as more than just gymnastics. It’s a community-driven initiative, created with the understanding that sports play a crucial role in holistic development.
