My Gym South Loop | Cook County, IL
About this class
My Gym is one of those places that's been around forever (like 40+ years) so they really know how to make kids feel awesome about themselves, even if your kiddo is the one who prefers to cling to your leg instead of joining circle time. They're all about building confidence through movement, which sounds fancy but basically means your little one gets to tumble, climb, and bounce around on equipment designed to make them feel like tiny superheroes. The vibe is super encouraging - they celebrate everything from first steps to finally going down that slide they've been eyeing for weeks, and you'll probably find yourself getting genuinely excited about things you never thought mattered before. It's the kind of place where all kids can succeed regardless of their personality or abilities, so whether you've got a future gymnast or a cautious observer, they'll figure out how to make it work. Because honestly, we all just want our kids to feel good about themselves and maybe tire them out enough for a decent nap later!
Families love the way their little ones light up with excitement, often yelling 'I did it!' after conquering new skills in class.

Every visit to My Gym brings something new, whether it’s playing with toys we don’t have at home or watching a puppet show that her dad and I aren’t great at performing. Each session includes Independent Time where the little ones play with musical toys, and when it’s time, they put the toys back in the box. I remember the first time we went, my bunny cried loudly when I took a toy from her hand. But now, just two or three weeks later, she imitates the teachers and other kids, putting the toys back in the box. The class setups and facilities are updated every week. The two themes I attended were Farm and Circus, which aim to develop the children’s imagination. The curriculum includes music, games, puppet shows, skill stations (like somersaults and balance beam walking), and swing time—something even us parents can enjoy! The little ones might not be interested in every part of the class, but when they’re not into something, they can bounce on the trampoline, go down the slide, or play hide-and-seek. Overall, it’s a great place to take your kids.

MyGym has been a staple in my kiddos’ activities since they opened 3 years ago. It‘s a warm and welcoming place with kind staff who make everybody feel right at home. I loved playing along with my toddler, but I definitely appreciated graduating to the drop off classes. The schedule offers multiple convenient sign up times and my boys love going! Saira, the owner, is always super responsive and helps with anything that might need addressing. This was a wonderful addition to our neighborhood.

My son has been attending this location for several years on and off, we even held his 2 year birthday here. I couldn’t say enough good things about the staff, they are always welcoming, engaged and truly involved with our little ones. My son had some not so great experience at daycare and is a little traumatized to be in a group setting. He has been doing much better and gotten involved in activities since I went back to My Gym again this year. I thank everyone who has been taking care of our little boy and will continue to refer other kids here, it is an amazing place!

My daughter and I came to My Gym for a birthday party and she absolutely fell in love with the place. My parents decided to get her a class pass so that we could go enjoy the gym on our own. I purchased the card and come to find out, I purchased it for the Fullerton location and not SL. Mikaley, the Assistant Director was so generous and helped me solved my debacle. Kudos for every staff member being exceptional with customer service!

We absolutely love MyGym! We’ve been taking our 14 month old here since before she could crawl and she loves it! All of the teachers are so engaging and caring and the kids have an absolute blast. The memberships allow us to come multiple times a week, which has been amazing in the Chicago winter.
