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.

After a small stint at acting, Eric quickly realized that his true passion was in children’s entertainment/education and not in the entertainment industry. He began his career working with children 20 years ago as a part-time instructor at My Gym in Encino, CA. Soon he progressed to full-time, then director, and many years later he was offered the opportunity to partner and become a co-owner. He jumped in with both feet and has loved every minute since! Over the years Eric has also worked very closely with My Gym Corporate helping train future My Gym franchisees from around the world, and he was the leader of My Gym’s live troop: “The Activators!” In July 2020, Eric was chosen by Yacov and Susi Sherman, the founders of My Gym, to purchase the My Gym Woodland Hills, CA location. He is thrilled to be able to further reach more children and families through the amazing My Gym program.
Edwin and Emma Chavez have been My Gymers most of their lives! With backgrounds in dance and gymnastics, it was an easy transition to My Gym. They began their careers at local My Gyms in Valencia and Pasadena, and from there moved up the ranks, eventually working for My Gym's Corporate Office. They have spend over a decade teaching little ones at My Gym and have loved every minute of it! They currently own My Gym Woodland Hills, My Gym Valencia, and continue to work for My Gym Corporate. YAY!!!
