About this class
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 rave about how the instructors at The Little Gym truly know how to connect with every little one, turning shy kiddos into confident gymnasts who can't wait to come back! It's not just a class; it's a community where your child can thrive and have a blast!

This place is really special. My daughter has been taking gymnastics for a month and I can really understand the reason behind so many comments on the staff. Coaches and staff are just the best, really sweet and friendly with the kids and want to make their time their fun and welcoming. My daughter is five and shy around strangers, but the coaches make her feel like she belongs and she loves going there. 10/10 recommend.

My daughter just had her 6th birthday party at the Little Gym and it was wonderful! It was a very big group (35 kids for a dropoff party) and the staff ran the whole event so smoothly! It was so much fun! The planning process was also great - Sarah (the director) is so responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend. It!

The entire team at Little Gym UWS has created a safe, loving, and open environment for our children. The commitment and patience they demonstrate is unrivaled. This is a fun place for kids to be kids, make mistakes, tumble, grow, and thrive. Little Gym staff take the time to get to know our children, meet them where they are and recognize their progress against their own benchmarks. I am eternally grateful for their ability to see my child as a child and an individual in a world that is often filled with those who talk the talk but don't walk the walk on being child-centered.

The Little Gym UWS offers a great opportunity for caregivers and little ones to enjoy some fun and get the wiggles out. The classes offer a great combination of structured activities and free play, and the lead instructor, Jordan, is full of enthusiasm, excellent at executing his lesson plan, and simply wonderful with children. My daughter and I have really enjoyed our experience and plan to continue attending.

We have attended classes in the past and just held my daughter's 4th birthday at The Little Gym. The party was so much fun for all of the kids, they got to run, dance and try different gymnastics moves for the activity portion of the party. I LOVED the coaches especially Brandon and it was great that they were so flexible letting us use our own playlist for the party area and bring in any food we wanted. We are already thinking we'll have the 5th birthday party here!
