Dominique Dawes Gymnastics & Ninja AcademySite Selection & Expansion Guide

Backtesting our 9 open academies against neighborhood demographics, schools, retail anchors, and competition — to rank where to open next across current markets and new territories in all 48 contiguous U.S. states.

Step 1 · Does our Site Score match real gym demand?

Every academy gets a single 0–100 DDA Site Score built only from public neighborhood data. Below we compare that score to how full each gym actually is today, using its live class schedule.

All 9 Open Academies — Site Score vs. Actual Demand

Click any academy to open its profile. All nine gyms fit on one screen — scroll the page, not the table.

Step 2 · Where should we open next?

Every candidate market is scored on the same 0–100 scale as our open gyms. Infill markets sit within 30 miles of an open academy; Net-New markets open a new territory.

Step 3 · What drives a great site?

Which neighborhood traits line up with our busiest gyms — in plain English — and how to re-train the score with internal company numbers.

A · What matters most (and what doesn't)

How the Site Score is built

Six plain-English pillars. Each pillar's weight comes from how closely it tracks real class waitlists across our 9 gyms.

B · Plug in internal company performance (members, ramp curves & 4-wall EBITDA)

Right now the tool scores markets using live public class waitlists. Drop in DDA's internal monthly member counts, revenue, or 4-wall EBITDA for the 9 gyms (stays 100% private in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server) to re-train the weights and re-rank every expansion market instantly.
