We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym, an international children’s gym franchise, recently opened its new location in Royal Palm Beach. The opening of We Rock the Spectrum Palm Beach was accompanied by a celebration on Saturday, Aug. 10 at the new gym, located at 1169 Royal Palm Beach Blvd. Families with children from all walks of life will get to experience a breadth of sensory and physically beneficial activities within a safe, clean and controlled environment.
We Rock the Spectrum is a franchise opportunity that provides sensory-safe play for children with autism, special needs and neurotypical development. Each gym features 12 pieces of therapeutic equipment designed to work with many of the sensory processing issues that children on the spectrum face, while providing all children with the sensory diet necessary for improved learning and neurological development. For example, the zip line helps children with vestibular sensations and sensory feedback, while allowing them to better develop upper-arm and core strength. Each We Rock the Spectrum location offers unique classes, children’s day camp opportunities, arts and crafts, additional pieces of play equipment and more.
Dina Kimmel, an autism mom from California, is the CEO and founder of We Rock the Spectrum. She opened the first gym in Tarzana, California, after her son was diagnosed with autism and she struggled to find a safe place where both her son and her neurotypical daughter could go together. The motto for all We Rock the Spectrum gyms is, “Finally a place where you never have to say ‘I’m sorry!’”
Amber Rudishauser and Mike Krga are the new owners of We Rock the Spectrum Palm Beach. They are also the owners of the Jupiter/Tequesta and Davie locations. Amber has been a stay-at-home mom since 2017 with their two children, Mila and Brooks, while also working as a Realtor. Mike, a former professional baseball player, has been working as an educator at the high school level since 2014. Coming from a family of teachers, he has always had a passion for working with children.
The family started going to We Rock the Spectrum when Mila was a baby and immediately fell in love with the gym. There, they were able to attend children’s classes and meet other parents, who later became close friends. It became a gathering place for their children to play and enjoy activities together.
When the opportunity arose to own a We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym, they were convinced, from their wonderful experiences there, that they could continue and build on the efforts of previous owners, and positively impact their community.
