BUILD YOUR OWN RINKA BUSINESS

The RINKA franchise is designed to give you the opportunity to build a children’s fitness business in your local area, without having to create the brand, programmes or systems from scratch.

You’ll operate your own business, delivering RINKA classes and developing opportunities through camps, schools, parties and other RINKA programmes.

€5,995 INITIAL FRANCHISE FEE
Your initial investment includes training, curriculum, initial equipment, uniform, brand set-up and the support you need to launch your RINKA business. Ongoing franchise fees apply and are explained in full during the franchise process.

VENUE-BASED EXCLUSIVITY
Rather than purchasing a large exclusive territory, your exclusivity is built around the venues from which you operate.

TRAINING & RESOURCES
You’ll receive RINKA training, curriculum, initial equipment, uniform and the resources you need to get started.

ONGOING SUPPORT
You’ll become part of the RINKA instructor network, with ongoing support as you develop your business.

COULD YOU BE A RINKA FRANCHISEE?

As a RINKA franchisee, you are more than just a business owner—you are an ambassador for children’s health, fitness, and well-being. 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:

Passion for Children’s Health and Fitness

A good franchisee is deeply committed to promoting healthy habits for life. You should have a passion for working with children and understand the importance of building their confidence and love for movement.

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.

Ability to Build a Positive Team Culture

You will be responsible for hiring and developing a team of instructors who share your passion for children’s fitness. A successful franchisee creates a positive, encouraging team culture, ensuring that staff are motivated and engaged.

Business Acumen and Financial Responsibility

While passion is crucial, a RINKA franchisee must also have sound business judgment. You should be comfortable managing your franchise’s finances, including budgeting, forecasting, and meeting revenue targets. A good franchisee balances the financial side of the business while maintaining the quality of the service.

A RINKA franchise is not a ready-made job or a guaranteed income. It’s an opportunity to build your own business using an established brand, programmes and support system. What you build from that opportunity depends on what you put into it.
