About this class

At the little gym on Gilead Rd, you’ll find a vibrant community where little ones can bounce, tumble, and giggle their way to new skills, all while making lasting friendships.

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!

Families love how their little ones come home bursting with excitement, saying, 'I did a flip today!'—and let's be honest, who wouldn't want a mini gymnast showing off their new moves?

The instructors create a positive atmosphere that is safe and builds confidence for the kids. My four-year-old girl learns a new skill set every week! The entire team at the gym, from instructors to support staff, is fantastic. We also hosted my little girl’s birthday party, and it was amazing not only for the kids to have fun, but the staff were so supportive and assisted during the entirety of the birthday party, from set up to serving and cleaning. I mean, everything was perfect! Thank you!!!

Absolutely have loved our experience with the Little Gym. Our daughter started out as Bird and was just learning to stand. By the end of her first month she was confidently taking steps. Ms. Marissa is a gem and understands so much about early child development. She shares tips to help reinforce the lessons at home. She is very patient and works to get to know each of the kiddos. She makes the class exciting and tries to incorporate things that will get the kids excited to participate in class. They are also very thoughtful about scheduling classes and really value parent feedback. As two working parents it can be hard to find activities to do with our child during the week, but the Little Gym is one of favorite activities. The skills are transferable and we have enjoyed the confidence our child has gained through her participation. Couldn’t recommend this place more!

Our family has been part of the Little Gym family for the last 2 years. We started going with my sensitive and shy son when we was 2 years old and immediately felt like we were in the right spot. It was the perfect blend of structured and unstructured play that allowed my son to gain confidence and independence while also enjoying himself and exploring in a safe environment. I also have appreciated that as my kids change developmentally, the staff is well equipped to help and support them through the different phases of toddlerhood. I enthusiastically recommend giving TLG a try!

Update: After my review, the owner and director personally reached out to me. They responded very kindly and professionally, and took steps to improve the situation. They began additional training with the staff and are now monitoring classes more closely. This shows that the management truly cares about the quality and safety of the program for children. *************** We’ve been part of Little Gym for almost two years, but lately I’m incredibly disappointed and frustrated with how things have changed. The constant turnover of teachers has always been an issue, but the new instructors seem completely unqualified and inexperienced when it comes to working with young children. They try to ask engaging questions like “What’s your favorite activity?”, but then don’t even give all the kids a chance to answer. There’s no structure or turn-taking — and if your child is polite and not pushy, they’re often left out and barely get a turn. What’s most concerning is the lack of safety and proper supervision. Kids are doing flips and rolls, but many are doing it incorrectly — some even go as far as standing on their heads, putting serious pressure on their necks. No one is guiding or correcting them, and it’s truly dangerous. I really hope the management takes this seriously and reevaluates the qualifications of their staff and how classes are run. At this point, our family is strongly considering stopping our participation in Little Gym. Very disappointing.

My kids love the Little Gym! We’ve been attending classes for over 2 years and our kids always have a blast! The staff is so warm, welcoming, and accommodating with many of them becoming like family over the years. Definitely recommend!
