Meet The Founder
Katie Cannon is a 5-time British Gymnastics Champion turned 7-figure entrepreneur, with more than 20 years of experience in running children's gyms and classes, from school halls to multiple venues.
She made the mistakes so you don't have to. She still runs her own children's activity business today, so everything Gold Medal teaches has been tested in the real world, not just in theory.
Her mission is to help owners like you build a business that changes children's lives and gives you your time back.

How does the free masterclass work?
Every week, Katie teaches a live online masterclass on a different topic, from growing enrolments to building your team. Business owners join us from all around the world, and if you can’t make it live, a recording is available. Each session finishes with a live Q&A, so bring your questions.
