Americas Franchising Group is thrilled to announce that Marie Roger will be opening the next We Rock The Spectrum Kids Gym in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Her gym will serve as a haven for children of all abilities—offering inclusive, sensory-safe play alongside structured programs that build confidence, connection, and joy.
We Rock The Spectrum has become a trusted name in neurodiverse advocacy, providing thoughtfully designed environments that meet the unique needs of children with autism and developmental challenges. Marie’s leadership is rooted in compassion, vision, and a strong desire to create lasting change.
“Marie brings a rare combination of empathy and entrepreneurship to the table,” said Dina Kimmel, Founder and CEO. “She’s not just opening a gym—she’s creating a movement of inclusion in Port St. Lucie.”
Marie’s decision to become a franchise owner was deeply personal. As someone who has worked closely with families navigating the special needs system, she saw the emotional toll and the lack of supportive spaces firsthand. “I wanted to be part of the solution,” Marie said. “This gym isn’t just about play—it’s about progress, partnership, and peace of mind for parents who’ve been searching for somewhere that truly understands their child.”
Marie is already laying the groundwork to collaborate with local healthcare systems, school counselors, therapists, and early intervention programs. She envisions her gym as a resource hub for occupational therapy, behavioral services, and community-based learning experiences. By aligning with schools, hospitals, and churches, she plans to offer programming that meets families where they are—with wraparound services that extend beyond the gym floor.
Thanks to support from Americas Franchising Group, Marie is turning her vision of inclusion into a deeply impactful reality for families in Port St. Lucie and beyond.
