The history of the Gravity Trampoline Park fitness franchise

Founded in 2014 by Simon Whicker, Harvey Jenkinson and Micheal Harrison, Gravity Trampoline Park has been bringing mountains of family fun to birthdays, rainy days and adventures out and about for nearly 10 years now. After three years of success, the business entered the world of franchising in order to expand the gravity brand and spread the love of trampolining in 2017. There are now 22 Gravity Trampoline Parks in the UK, Germany and Saudi Arabia, with a further 14 sites in the pipeline.

Gravity is backed by Guinness Asset Management, and was recently listed in the Sunday Times Fast Track 100. Though COVID-19 has made the past few years challenging for many businesses, and setbacks have been experienced all-around, Gravity Trampoline Park has largely proved itself to be pandemic-proof. In 2020, despite forced closures at multiple points during the year, the business engaged with an impressive 65,000 customers per month. The franchise that’s perfect for sport lovers and fun lovers alike is looking to keep on growing in 2022.

In the next 12-24 months, you will see Gravity popping up in many new UK cities, as well as European destinations such as Spain, Austria, Holland and Sweden, as well as Saudi Arabia, Oman and Dubai in the Middle East. Big-box leisure is booming in the US, and forecasters predict that it won't be long until the trend becomes hugely influential on this side of the pond. - Dan Yarwood, Gravity Stevenage
