The Little Gym of Dumbo | Brooklyn, NY

At the little gym on Front St, families in Brooklyn can easily drop in for fun gymnastics and movement classes that fit perfectly into their busy schedules.

The Little Gym is basically where you go when you want to feel like you're doing something good for your kiddo's development while also getting a bit of a workout yourself - win-win, right? They're really into the whole "serious fun" thing, which sounds cheesy but actually works out pretty well because your little one gets to tumble around on safe equipment while you're doing more than just sitting on the sidelines scrolling your phone. The classes have actual structure with songs, basic gymnastics moves, and all those sensory activities with balls and bubbles that make toddlers lose their minds with excitement, but it's not so rigid that you'll stress if your kid decides today is the day they only want to roll down the same mat seventeen times. Plus you'll probably end up chatting with other parents who also thought they'd have more energy for this parenting thing, and honestly, sometimes that adult conversation is worth the class fee alone!

Parents rave about how their little ones are not just learning movements but also finding their voice, often cheerfully shouting, 'Look at me, Mommy!' after class.
