Americas Franchising Group is proud to announce the expansion of the We Rock The Spectrum Kids Gym movement into Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania—led by passionate new owner Antonia Montefiore. Her upcoming gym will offer a vibrant, inclusive space where children of all abilities can feel safe, empowered, and free to be themselves.
We Rock The Spectrum is a globally recognized brand committed to creating sensory-safe spaces through specialized equipment and purpose-driven programs, especially for children with autism and developmental differences. In Pittsburgh, Antonia is turning that mission into action—bringing heartfelt leadership and deep community ties to this transformative project.
“Antonia’s passion for advocacy and inclusion is evident in every step she’s taken,” said Dina Kimmel, CEO and Founder of We Rock The Spectrum. “She represents the kind of franchise owner who goes beyond business—someone who truly wants to uplift lives. We’re honored to welcome her to the We Rock family.”
For Antonia, this is more than just a business venture—it’s a calling. As a lifelong Pittsburgh native and devoted advocate for children with special needs, she’s witnessed firsthand the lack of inclusive recreational options for families in the area. Her decision to open a We Rock The Spectrum gym was rooted in a desire to change that narrative. “Every child deserves a place where they’re celebrated, not just accommodated,” Antonia shared. “I wanted to build something that would offer joy, support, and real inclusion—not only for the kids, but for their families too.”
Her gym will serve as more than a play space—it will be a community platform. Antonia envisions strong partnerships with local therapists (including BCBAs, OTs, SLPs, and PTs), special education departments in public and private schools, hospital systems, churches, and community-based support groups. By bridging these networks, the Pittsburgh location will become a central hub for wraparound care, family connection, and meaningful developmental progress.
Americas Franchising Group is proud to support Antonia as she brings the We Rock The Spectrum mission to life—proving that inclusion isn’t just a buzzword, but a community cornerstone.
