The Little Gym

We all love this gym! My kids did their summer camp and had so much fun doing gymnastics, craft activities, games and making friends.
As a parent, I loved knowing they were staying active in a safe, clean, and fun environment. The staff had great energy and seemed genuinely kind and caring. Their opening the door and greeting you is also a nice touch.
It’s hard to believe the gym is over ten years old. It looks brand new! The equipment is in great shape and everything is so clean. The gym is also not so little at all. It houses a huge tumbling mat, jumping ramps, uneven bars, parallel bars, and more. The space is large and even has a dance studio.

My daughter just had her party at the little gym this past weekend. The staff was awesome, I was scared at first because it wasn’t the usual teachers she is used to being with. However, my fears were pushed away, the ladies did a fantastic job! I did nothing except talk to parents, and for once enjoy myself at a party. They entertained the kids, helped decorate (and by help I mean did everything, I literally brought supplies in) directed them to behave, cut the cake, passed out food, cleaned up the wrapping paper as we went, and to my shock wrote down every gift and its giver for me to do thank you cards when I got home. Usually that is my pet peeve having to write while she opens gifts, or trying to recall after we get home. The ladies then offered to help take stuff to our car, or even load for us! I am floored by the service we received, and for the price it was awesome! Thank you to the little gym and more parties will be planned here!

My family has a great time in the parent/​kid classes for three years and under. It is amazing how confident our child is with gross and fine motor skills. We always look forward to going, and taking a midday nap afterward.

Excellent staff, fun classes, great prices. My daughter (14 months) is full of energy. She loves going to the Little Gym, interacting with the other kids, and having fun learning basic foundational skills that will last a lifetime. Highly recommended.

So this place is okay.
I ultimately pulled my son from the classes because the other kids were sorta violent towards one another and their parents and the instructor never stepped in to stop it. Choke holds, hitting, kicking… Not cool.
The classes themselves were so fun and my son really enjoyed it. He learned a lot about colors and bubbles and taking risks. The place is nice, but the parents — not so much. Very expensive for what boils down to baby karate. No thanks.

The Little Gym, is exactly what the name says, it’s a little gym. Now that doesn’t mean you are gonna see a little gym, w/​little equipment, and other ‘little’ things. No, it’s gymnastics for little ones.
A friend’s daughter takes class there and told me that what she really likes is that they don’t get all crazy competitive and try to get these kids olympics ready or anything. I can really appreciate that since it’s not what I particularly want for my kids, plus that whole olympic training thing gets really damn expensive don’t ya know. I guess they are more into it being fun, and getting exercise, and having a positive experience. That works for me.
Another positive for them is that they offer free ‘try us out’ classes. Now, I may have mentioned this before, but I have lots of kids, so really, they had me at free. I signed three of mine up for a free class and two have already gone and really enjoyed themselves. I also like that they have a 7 – 1 ratio, so if your kid is in a class of 21 kids, there will be 3 teachers and there are different stations set up, so they rotate around and everyone gets a chance to try everything, smart and organized.
in addition, their prices are reasonable and comparable to my local rec centers gym classes. I am not for sure that we will commit yet, but I think it is a wonderful business. Go little gym!
Ps. they have other focuses like cheerleading, karate, and um, well something else if you’re interested.
