My Gym

Great place for early learning and movement. We have been attending my gym for the last 6 months with my 2 yr old and as soon as we started we felt right at home. Friendly staff and they pay very close attention to each child’s specific needs. Jamel, Meredith and Leslie are all amazing teachers who you can tell have a real love and understanding about children and knowledge of child development. They push your child just enough to step out of their comfort zone without being too intrusive. I also love the fact they have circle times music and puppet theater. Super place for all-​around learning, growing and fun!

MyGym rocks! When my son first started, he couldn’t even do a roll. Now he is rolling and tumbling and doing dive rolls. My daughter has became more flexible and able to do cartwheels and round offs. The teachers are very tentative and caring. My kids look forward to their classes every Wednesday.

MyGym is an awesome place to bring any child. I’ve been bringing DS here since he was about 18 months or so which I believe is the Waddlers/​Tiny Tots class. The class is very engaging as the parents are invited to assist and sing with the teacher. (P.s. make sure you wear a good pair of socks parents. No shoes on the carpet and the little ones are barefoot.)
Now fast forward to age 4. We began attending classes again. We felt he needed assistance with following directions and an extracurricular activity wouldn’t hurt. In the beginning of the class those that arrive early are allowed to roam freely amongst the gym. (And boy do they roam. It’s like watching a comedy sketch in fast forward.) When most of the students are there they call everyone over to the big red circle. This is where they warm up and stretch their little bodies to prepare for the skills of the day.
So far we are pleased with our choice over Gymboree. They offer nights such as Parent’s Night Out. Which is when parents get a 2 hour reprieve to have ice cream, go to dinner or just have a moment to themselves. He loves it so much that he wishes he could move in.
I’ve noticed much improvement behaviorally and so have have his teachers. (Than again he’s 4 years old.) We will continue to attend classes which goes up to 10 or 12. (I’d have to check again.) It’s a good way to promote flexibility in children especially boys.

Today you had an open gym for kids to come in and play. You also said that the limit was the first 20 students and after that you could not let kids come in. Knowing that you had a limit you did not put any type of line system in place to ensure that those who got here first can get in. When I lined up, about the 5^th parent in line another parent just decided to walk around and get in front of me to sign and she had about 7 kids with her. Not only did your staff not say anything to her but then she proceeded to give me an attitude when I tried to sign in saying that «they believe in the honor system.» Apparently your customers don’t. I had a really great time with my son’s first birthday party here and was actually looking forward to enrolling him in summer classes. But this incident makes me think twice about doing that.

We have been going to MY GYm since they opened. My 2 oldest love it there. The staff are great and care about the kids. Everyone is treated the same. The My Gym staff built up their confidence and team work. Now they enjoy performing in from of people. Now my little one loves going there like his siblings. I am so happy as a mother that there is a place where my kids loved to go and feel safe. Thank you MY GYM!

Great place, with an exceptional staff. Very warm and inviting. My children all love their classes, including our newest addition in the youngest class. They care for my children as though they are their own. Something that makes me, and the kids extremely conformable and our family will continue to be there. #MYGYMROCKS

I absolutely love My Gym. The staff is exceptional. They are extremely loving and caring and make each and every child feel very comfortable. When my daughter started taking classes there, she was extremely shy. With the help of the wonderful staff, my daughter was able to open up very quickly. I will always be grateful to the staff for showing her the love and support that she needed to progress socially. The classes also helped my daughter develop the endurance necessary to live an active healthy lifestyle. My Gym is amazing and worth every penny!!! Thank you for making us both feel like part of the family. We love you!!!

This MyGym is the best! My kids have been coming here since my oldest was 18 months old. He is now 10 and in a well designed and much needed class for special needs children. They recognized that there was a need for a class like this and that children with autism should not be left out. I will always be grateful for that.
My daughter, 4, has been gaining strength, endurance, and basic tumbling skills all while having a fun time. She looks forward to going every week.
The staff are amazing. Some of them have been there so long that they have watched my kids grow and are as excited for their milestones as I am.
We love MyGym Fresh Meadows!

my 2 girls have been going to My Gym over the years and each and every time they go there, they are just SO HAPPY! AND they get the best exercise they need. The teachers and office staff are amazing and work with each child on their individual needs. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, the place is CLEAN!!! We also did a birthday party there for my oldest daughter and everyone, including the parents had a blast.
In September of 2015, the owner graciously offered the location and staff FREE OF CHARGE to have a Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (Light The Night Fundraiser), we we made over $ 600 for the charity. ALL proceeds went directly to the cause. Great people that work there. That is important to us! :)

I just started attending My Gym with my 2 y.o. DS. It’s the teachers that sets this place apart from others. We are so impressed by Mr. Jamel. He has a lot of energy, works REALLY hard, and he is nonstop fun. He communicates with my son and really tries to engage. My son attended Gymboree for more than a year prior to joining My Gym, and I was more impressed by My Gym’s teachers. They constantly switch activities, move around equipment, and truly care for the safety of the children. The Practice & Play sessions can get a bit crowded with older kids so younger waddlers will have to move cautiously, but the times available are convenient. Someone else below mentioned not being able to contact the location by phone, but it’s mainly because the teachers are in class. I found that Facebook comments and messaging was very quick – I heard back within minutes. I believe FB might be managed by someone else so you’ll hear back promptly. I’ll continue with My Gym for at least 3 months during the cold season and hopefully it will be consistent!

The place is fun for kids. Time fly in the party. The two ladies was entertaining.
I would have like it if there is more spaces.
Over all the whole family enjoy there time here

Not impressed with the way this place is run. First, this My Gym never answers their phone. So, you will never reach a human unless you leave a message and they CHOOSE if and when to call you back. It’s annoying. I left them messages and even emailed this My Gym to set up a trial class and had to wait indefinitely for a response. Half the time, they never responded. We used to go to another My Gym and they either answered their phone or returned your call within the day. Not the Fresh Meadows location. Good luck reaching them.
Also, they canceled my trial class the day before with some ambiguous message and of course, I had to then call, leave a message, wait awhile for a response, etc before I know what was going on with the class. It was maddening.
Finally, it’s clear that the «coaches» here are very young. I’m all for youthful energy, but unfortunately the young staff also lack professionalism.
PS parking in the lot is $ 3/​hour. That’s absurd.

This review is for a birthday party we had here for my daughter’s first birthday.
We were looking for a place where my daughter could play and have fun, while her slightly older cousins and friends could enjoy as well. And boy was this the place…
They offer activities for kids ranging from infants upto about 10 years old. They have trampolines, balance beams, play gyms, a rock wall, and even a zip line to name a few…
We saw online they offer a free trial class, as they offer group classes broken up by age. So we took advantage of that to get a better idea of what they have to offer. Needless to say we really enjoyed the class and decided to hold her birthday there.
The two girls (who looked surprising young) were the facilitators for both the class and the birthday party. I must admit when I arrived at the party and only saw the two girls I was a little concerned how they would handle the crazy kids in my family. Having said that, I would request them again in the future. They were amazing, great with the kids and very professional. They managed the children very well and was great with every age group there. They managed the use of the activities excellently, every kids that wanted to try it had an equal opportunity (except the birthday girl of course, who had special treatment :)). Finalizing payment went smoothly as well, and I was more than happy to leave a well deserved tip.
I would definitely recommend this place to others…
Happy Unilocaling :)

I visited my gym today for a class with my 11 months old daughter after it was recommended to me by a friend. My daughter loved it. She enjoyed exploring the gym. The class was very cute. The teachers really do show that they love working with kids and have a variety of different activities to entertain little ones .They offer classes for a variety of ages groups. Only thing that sucks is class schedules. I work 9 – 5 and there is only one class for my baby on Saturday and it’s at 9 am. I’d love to go more often but don’t think schedule works well for busy mommies with little ones.

Did a free trial class here last Saturday.
Its right on union turnpike, meter parking in front or you can pay at the garage (its on the 3^rd floor so if you use the garage, its easier to get to).
We arrive, pop music playing, teachers very welcoming! My daughters 11 months, so she’s already intrigued… lol
The place: Lots of bright fun colors everywhere, slides, small trampoline, rock climbing wall, small obstacle things for the kids to play in, small area in front with benches, a coat rack and cubby holes for shoes. They also have lots of hooks hanging from the ceiling so they can bring out swings and hook other stuff up. Its kind of small, but they only let a certain amount of kids into the classes, so its not crowed.
The experience: there classes go by age group… so we attended tiny waddlers, which I think goes up to 18 months. We start off sitting in a circle doing some simple exercises, then they get to play and explore, teachers bring out fun stuff like swings, and put up a tent with a maze in it. The crowd was cool, parents watching there kids, teachers were really attentive and great with the kids. They did a short puppet show, and sang some songs with us. My daughter loved it!
Why not five stars??? The classes are really early, they don’t have afternoon class options. My daughter is not an early riser, and we still need time for dressing and feeding before we go. Had to wake her up, she enjoyed herself but took an extra long nap in the afternoon… lol
Seems like a nice place for my daughters 1^st birthday!

Excellent staff and extremely clean… My 18 month old son thoroughly enjoys coming here. They keep him engaged and challenge him to try new activities. I am a little confused by some of the negative comments as I have not seen any favoritism displayed at all– nor have I viewed any bored children in class either. Highly recommend this establishment!

Staff is horrible and they play favoritism and my son is supper bored in class. Definitely DO NOT recommend this location

The minute you walk in the place has a strong sweat or foot odor. I’ve been to other My Gyms and this by far smells. The place is spacious. However the class I signed up had so many kids it was chaotic. They started with circle time and afterwards there was free time or if you wanted to participate in one of the activity the leader had. I didn’t enjoy this My Gym.

Fantastic!

You always want the best for your child and I feel this gym meets my standards, especially since they changed Free Play to unlimited instead of once a wk.
I recently joined my 10 month old son to the gym and he enjoys interacting with everyone there. The owner is very nice– not pushy at all. The helpers there are also friendly and I love the fact that they remember all the kids’ names. They have fun-​filled activities, such as trampoline, swings, slides, sing along, bubble time, rock climbing, and even ziplining! The winning factor for me is that the facility is clean! That’s a biggie for me since I am a nurse/​germphobic. I plan to be a member here for a while.
