At RINKA, we strive to create an environment where every child feels welcome, capable, and excited about staying active. A successful RINKA franchisee should embody the following key qualities:

Strong Leadership and Organisational Skills

Running a RINKA franchise requires excellent leadership. You should be able to manage your team effectively, maintain clear communication, and ensure that the business runs smoothly. This includes organising classes, managing bookings, and adhering to the RINKA teaching philosophy.

Commitment to RINKA’s Values

RINKA is not just about teaching fitness; it’s about fostering inclusivity, self-esteem, and fun.Franchisees are expected to align with and promote these core values in every class, ensuring that each child feels supported and motivated, no matter their fitness level.

Engaging with the Local Community

Building strong relationships with your local community is key to your success. You should actively promote your RINKA franchise in your area, forming connections with schools, parents, and local organisations to increase awareness of your classes and services.

High Standard of Professionalism

Franchisees should represent the RINKA brand with professionalism at all times. This includes maintaining the cleanliness and safety of class environments, being punctual, and providing excellent customer service to parents and children alike.

Ongoing Personal and Professional Development

A good franchisee is always learning and growing. RINKA offers continual professional development, and franchisees are expected to take advantage of these opportunities to stay up-to-date with the latest trends in children’s fitness and development.
