MY GYM of GREATER BOSTON

The My Gyms located in Boston, Newton, and Medfield are owned and operated by the father/daughter team of Jim and Katie Koert. They entered the business in January of 2004 with the purchase of the Newton and Dedham My Gym franchise locations. The Dedham gym was relocated to Walpole in the fall of 2005, then relocated to Medfield in the summer of 2010. The Boston My Gym, their newest location on the western edge of Boston University, was opened in the fall of 2007.

Following a successful career in the health care industry, Jim is living the dream of operating a successful small business with his daughter. He has been a lifelong enthusiast of physical fitness. With three My Gym's, he gets to visit with 100's of his 'grand kids' every day and enjoy their smiles, giggles, and success as they have fun being physically active.

My Gym gives Katie the chance to combine her passion for fitness with her love for young children. She received her undergraduate degree in Kinesiology from the University of Colorado in May of 2003. Katie's first exposure to My Gym came during her last semester when she worked part time at a My Gym that had just opened in a suburb north of Denver. She was hooked. All that was left was to find that spot in the country where she and her father could develop several of their own My Gyms. With her brother already living in Somerville, Massachusetts, her parents willing to move to Massachusetts from Michigan, and recognizing that the strong New England values of family and health would create a great place to own a My Gym, her bags were packed. Hello Boston!

Katie and Jim, along with their talented staffs at the three gyms, are committed to providing the services and environment that will allow each child to reach their fullest potential and instill in them a life-long interest in leading a healthy and active lifestyle. Their My Gym team is dedicated to bringing to every child that enters one of their My Gyms a sense of accomplishment and discovery through a series of high-quality programs that promote early childhood physical education and positive self development.
