The Starz Program

Starz is a children's fitness enrichment program. We operate by partnering with schools and bringing our specialized fitness-based classes on site to schools - elementary schools, preschools, daycares, country clubs, and more.

The Starz Program is committed to enriching children's lives through whole-child development. We promote fitness while nurturing confidence, creativity, social skills, and emotional well-being - empowering every child to shine.

This is a low-overhead franchise with no brick-and-mortar, and our owners are able to work part-time from home.

Our opportunity checks a lot of boxes for a large and often underserved candidate pool, including:

• Candidates looking to exit the corporate world
• Parents looking for flexibility
• Semi-absentee seekers
• Mission-driven candidates who want impact

Differentiators

First - we offer multiple programs so franchisees are always able to provide schools with classes that they don't already have.

Second, it's a one-vendor solution for schools. Schools love working with Starz because we provide multiple programs under one trusted partner.

Third, it's built around whole-child development, which resonates strongly with both schools and parents.

Ideal Starz Candidate

The ideal Starz candidate is:

• A people-person
• Community-minded and responsive
• Comfortable with relationship-building and B2B2C sales
• Confident, organized and coachable
• Motivated to build a business

They do not need a background in fitness or education - one of the many great things about Starz is that we train instructors and provide the curriculum so the owners can focus on growing and managing their business.

As they grow, many owners choose to hire a manager so they can transition into a more semi-absentee role.

Starz Franchise Highlights

• Part-time, work from home
• Lifestyle, flexible and scalable business
• Semi-absentee potential

Multiple Revenue Streams

There are multiple revenue streams a Starz owner can expect:

• Recurring revenue generated by parent-paid tuition
• School-paid programming
• Camps, events, merchandise and other opportunities

The key here is recurring revenue month after month - year after year. Many Starz owners purchase additional territories within the first few years. This speaks to strong owner validation.

Parent Testimonials

My 3-year-old daughter is doing the dance program at her school and she loves it! It's so cute to see her showing off her new moves and telling me the appropriate terminology, and so convenient that they come to her school! Ms. Megan is also great at teaching them to take turns, listen, and follow directions. I highly recommend Starz! - Rebecca S., Starz of Hampton Roads Parent

Starz Program offers our little one a safe experience to learn movement and appreciation of the art of movement. She is always excited on "dance day." - Anita W., Starz Parent

I love all the programs Starz has to offer as well as their flexibility and professionalism. I'm excited to have cheerleading at our school's campus through the Starz Program! - Vanessa C., Starz Parent
