GRAVITY TRAMPOLINE PARKS GRAVITY currently operates across eight prime retail sites in the UK. Incorporated in 2014 the first GRAVITY trampoline park opened in February 2015 within Castleford Xscape. Founded and developed by Directors and best friends Michael Harrison and Harvey Jenkinson they strive daily to improve and expand the brand from the Head Office in Yorkshire. Every new GRAVITY park franchise is fully supported by our dedicated franchise team headed by Harvey and Michael; guaranteeing a smooth delivery through sharing accumulated knowledge and best practices. Following the opening of Xscape, Yorkshire, GRAVITY has successfully opened parks within high footfall leisure and retail destinations right across the UK, including the UK’s premium shopping destination Bluewater, Kent.
FITNESS THAT IS FUN Naturally the family market is our core demographic. However footfall is maximised by all GRAVITY parks opening seven days a week to accommodate and attract the entire range of bouncers. Open Jump sessions permit bouncers the freedom to use all of the connected trampoline areas providing a huge area and scope of bounceable fun that can include angled trampolines, jump platforms, tumble tracks, air bags, basketball lanes, a battle beam, dodgeball courts, sky rails, GRAVITY Rocks climbing and much, much more. Activity timetables cater for both groups and individual bouncers to carefully plan for maximum rates of use. Health is at the core of the GRAVITY agenda. Our TrampoLEAN High intensity interval training (HIIT) classes are run to improve cardiac and oxygen levels through strength and muscle toning sessions. These attract group bookings, fitness classes and provide competitive team sports. We also specialise in parent and toddler sessions which strategically run during off peak periods to maximise income streams and minimise quieter sessions. 10% of all revenue is attained through parties - GRAVITY has established associations with an enviable number of the UK’s eminent branded restaurants who provide the food for every GRAVITY bounce or climb party. Over 16s especially enjoy Friday evening live DJ ‘after dark’ sessions between 19.00 and 22.00. An industry first - GRAVITY partners local authorities to schedule specific programmes for schools and colleges to combine science, health and fun linked to the National Curriculum. We run similar initiatives with charities and local government partners that include disability sessions for special needs weekly in our parks.

WHAT IS THE INVESTMENT? No two markets are identical, so determining the exact level of investment required is not an exact science. However in our experience each franchise business will require an estimated set-up cost of approximately £1.2m - £1.8M (GBP). We are primarily looking for area developers to work within a single country. This level of capital is needed to invest in the initial fit-out of the park and a minimum of £500,000 (GBP) in liquid assets as working capital. It is standard that there is a franchise fee on signing the agreement with GRAVITY. There will also be an ongoing franchise royalty fee and management services fees for marketing to be paid for each month which is a percentage of your gross turnover.
