The Little Gym

My son, who is almost 2 years old, loves going to The Little Gym! The activities are fun, varied, and engaging. My son especially loves getting personal attention from the instructor, which mostly has been Paul. We are really looking forward to celebrating my son’s birthday at The Little Gym next month!

I nanny for three children and ive been comming here with them for quite some time. The place is clean and such a safe environment for kids to jump and explore. Paul is an excellent intructor who knows his stuff and is great a interacting with the children (even the shy clingers like my own little guy). He makes learning fun and every week he has some sort of theme during group time that promotes learning and warms the kids up for a work out! And– surprisingly enough, the kids arent the only ones learning. Paul teaches parents how to support kids and safely assist them in tricks, while still promoting independence and confidence for the little ones. I also love that he teaches parents and nannys step by step way of doing tricks with kids so that they dont get injured. Over all its a safe environment for kids to be kids, and they learn plenty of gross and fine motor skills!

Our kids have gone to a couple of birthday parties at this location. It’s clean, kids have a wonderful time and go home tired. Makes for a great rest of the day for mommy and daddy!

After trying out some trial classes at different gyms in the area, I chose The Little Gym and am so glad we did. My daughter loves it and I can really see that she is learning the skills and moves that she is being taught. It’s amazing (at least to me!) that she can walk on a balance beam by herself and hang from the bars after just a few weeks of classes.
The facility, located right in town center on the second floor, is clean and organized. The staff at Little Gym is super friendly. We especially like Coach Paul; he’s enthusiastic, patient and the kids just flock to him. There are a handful of different classes for all ages groups throughout the week, including weekends, and there are some great incentives that you get when you join/​become a member like free classes each month and play drop ins.

As a Livingstoner, I am so pleased that The Little Gym has taken up residence in the Town Center, which is in desperate need of good tenants. The Little Gym is one of the few things I am willing to shell out the big bucks for because it is really worth it. The quality is very high. Get on their email list to find out about vacation camps!

We love this Little Gym. They have quite a few very good instructors, but Mr Paul is exceptional. We’ve been going here for three years and it’s still our daughter’s favorite activity.
We’ve had two birthday parties with them and it has been perfect both times.
Their new location above the Wells Fago is a bit hidden so look for it!

Five stars all around to the Little Gym in Livingston.
It is a little tricky to find if you have never been since it’s location rests in a previous store (marcias attic) but it is a really cool place.
We just had my sons 4^th birthday party at the Little Gym and everything was well organized. From the moment I booked the party with Vinny, he was extremely helpful with the planning process. We were very satisfied that it was so easy to put together.
Arriving at the party we were greeted by two friendly young ladies who directed us where to hang our coats and quickly took the presents and goodie bags and secured them for us. They set up the tables with the decorations and plates and silverware and organized the cake and cupcake tray.
The kids loved having the girls play with them out in the gym area. The ‘blow up’ bouncy was a hit and the activities they did were really fun and made all the children play together nice. It was a perfect amount of time, not too long but not too short and gave the kids enough playtime as well as time to eat pizza (that we had delivered) and cupcakes.
The staff was very accommodating and my Son had an awesome party. I highly recommend the little gym for your child’s special occasion.

We love this place! Mr. Paul is such a great teacher. We gave our daughter her first formal birthday party today. She turned 6. The girls had a blast at the party. The classes are very good, and the schedule is really great.

This place is great. I have been taking the oldest girl I nanny for here for over a year (she is 3.5 yo). We started in the parent and me classes, which she loved. The program definitely works on bonding with your child while also helping them become independent. At the age of 3, she graduated to the older program where she goes in by herself with her classmates, and the parents/​caregivers watch from behind the window. The older program is definitely more into actual gymnastics, and she has learned a lot. They even do little routines as a show at the end of the semester, which is super cute.
The younger child, 18 months, has also been doing the parent and me classes for a number of months now. She looks forward to it all week and asks for the teacher, Paul. He is fabulous. My kids are very particular, but they both love him.
I highly recommend their programs and wouldnt send the kids anywhere else. All of the parents I know with children in the programs feel the same, and many children love it so much that they do multiple classes.

The place is huge and fun for kids but where it’s huge, the kids look like little cupcakes in the room. Can be intimidating for the really young kids and then you have the option to sit behind the glass windows/​doors to view your child.
When my 3 year old went to the gymnastics class, she hated the hokey music of following instructions in the beginning of the class and really want to get to the gymnastics equipment (which I find most kids like from observing) plus the separation was unbearable for her even though she could see me through the windows.
The jazzy bugs — dance class (which really is 30 min gymnastics, 15 min tap and 15 ballet)…give a good exposure to different dance elements but don’t expect a high quality dance instructor to produce dancers… it’s all about the fun.
