How I Grew My Business Into a Successful Franchise in 4 Years – Bargain Babe

Media

I first met Dina Kimmel at a yard sale she was having. She had recently bought a nearby kids’ gym and was selling their old equipment to make way for the new. It would be a brand-new business venture for her and her enthusiasm was contagious. It was to be a different kind of kids’ gym – a sensory gym with high-end therapy equipment that would especially meet the needs of children with autism. That’s when I discovered that we both had young sons on the autism spectrum. I was excited by her idea, which was unlike anything I’d heard of before.

Media

Dina Kimmel rocks, proving daily that this mother’s love knows no bounds. When her daughter, Sophia, was born in 2004, everything went as planned.

Suburban Boca Raton gym uses trampolines and zip lines for youngsters with autism to learn skills

Media

Boca Raton, Florida – The emphasis is on fun at the We Rock The Spectrum Kid’s Gym in suburban Boca Raton. But along with the jumping on the trampoline, riding the zip line, the laughing and shouting, therapy and instructions are going on here for children on the autism spectrum. “He’s holding on, which is good,” said Jennifer Guttenberg, an occupational therapist working with one of the children on the zip line. “I also asked him if he wants more, and he said ‘Yes,’ so we’re also getting the speech interaction and social interaction as well, which is good.” Guttenberg uses this type of gym equipment to help the children with autism she works with develop their senses.
