    I took my daughter to their classes for children under 2 for about 6 months. There are various issues with this center. Saturday morning teacher (Kate) was always sick. Parents, including myself, had to take the kiddos out several times because the teacher was coughing and sneezing all the time. Also, she was hysterically yelling and rushing from one activity to another without giving small children (under 2) enough time to engage in the activity. The teacher was not fair and would interact more with 2 families that she had known for a longer time and abandon the rest for most of the time. The place is also very old and cold and their heating system had issues for months during winter. They do not give any alone time to the kids, and every activity is designed so that parents need to be present. It could have been much better if sometimes they'd asked the parents to step back and give kids a chance to interact with each other.

    We have had great experience with mygym until one of the instructors snatched a toy out of my son's hand and yelled at him. It already has been two years but we still remember the incident when the supervisors didn't do anything but only wanted to cover up her continuous mean treatment to some of the kids. Hope they don't have the instructor anymore...

    My 2 year old has been attending classes at My Gym Boston for about 9 months and absolutely LOVES it. He adores the staff and has the best time at the gym. I appreciate the planning and attention to detail that goes into each class... every class is different! I’ve loved watching my son’s skills and confidence grow significantly and highly recommend trying a class at My Gym Boston!

    One of the best children's programs in the Boston area! My children have all began their career there in their Little Bundles class ( 6 WEEKS of age!) and now continue to grow as they get older (Whiz Kid-5, MIte-3 and Waddler-16 months). We love how the program grows with your child beginning with the first classes as they give you skills like forward rolls and baby sit-ups (so stinkin cute!) and as they get older, the kids are able to take the skills that they have learned and have applied them in the program. They also work on independent play with the little ones, team work building with the older ones and it's all done in a non-competitive atmpsphere where the staff encourage and challenge each child based on their skill and comfort level. There is always an adorable puppet show and the staff make sure that they know each child and parent every class- and the music... the playlists each week are AWESOME! My husband and I always talk about how great the music is to listen to while we are there each week- we enjoy it just as much as the kids do! We have celebrated multiple parties with the gym over the past 5 years (From our kids turning one, to our upcoming daughter turning 4 at the end of this month!) and while the cost is up there, it is totally worth every penny! They make your child feel like #1, they play their favorite games, dances, songs, gymnastic skills and literally don't even make you lift a finger! We have brought our own food and cake but they also have a package that provides all that as well! We've been to other Boston-area parties and they stand by and do NOTHING with the kids other than occupy dead air for 1.5 hours. My Gym Boston runs marathons around your child and their guests during their special day- and the staff always amazes me by saying they still have one or two parties after ours- where do they find that energy?! We love how the program also has a gentle approach of encouraging our children to try out what they offer each week (the gym set up changes each week- I wish my own gym did that!!) but the staff (because they are seriously so personable!) know the comfort level of our children, when to challenge them and also when to bring them back to my husband or myself if they need a couple of minutes to get refocused. We love the structure of the program. Our children have learned how to sit and wait their turn, how to play fun childhood games (ring around the rosey, redlight/green light, freeze dance) how to make friends and play alongside other children. This didn't happen overnight- it took around a month for our oldest to become acclimated with the program and when it was time to explore vs when it is time to listen. This has been a huge help with transitioning her to preschool and now kindergarten. Looking forward to watching the program grow with our children and in our Boston community! We would recommend this to any new parent or nanny looking to find their way with a newborn, a parent or nanny or grandparent with a toddler looking to get them tired and a family with an elementary school child looking to keep light structure and activity in their child's schedule without overwhelming them too much!

    We started taking our (now 20 month old) daughter here in September 2015 and LOVE it!! It's super clean (we took her to a different gymnastics place last year and it was so dirty so I made sure to look for this right away). We never get bored because they switch up the gym setup and curriculum every week, so its not only refreshing for our daughter but good for the parents. The teachers are AWESOME...so helpful and friendly. Our daughter was super shy about trying the gymnastics for the first few weeks and they were never pushy (they encouraged but didn't push her to do it). Now she seems so much more confident every time she goes and tries more and more every week. the most important thing is that my daughter loves it....All I can say is that alllll week I hear "my gym, my gym???"

    We've brought our 4yo here since we moved here, and our 2yo since she was born. They have great classes for all ages. We used our summer party to bring a bunch of classmates out, and they all loved it! The teachers are amazing, patient and loving.

    We really enjoyed our visit here. My kids are elementary school aged which is on the old end of their target audience but they still loved it. There is lots to do inside and out. I saw lots of babies, toddlers, and preschoolers having a blast as well. Lots of options of things to do. I did not think the exhibits or exhibit halls were old and dingy like some people said. Looked good to me!

    We had our daughters 5th Birthday here and had an awesome time. As a parent who doesn't like party planning, they took all the stress off of me. The staff was great and really do a great job interacting with the kids and keeping them entertained. The constantly checked in with me and were very organized. Thank you for making my children's birthday celebration a success.

    This is a fun place to take my son! I love all of the materials and equipment they provide so that he can challenge his body. The instructors are very well-versed in developmentally appropriate activities for all of the different ages present in the classes. Donegan lead a wonderful circle time to start the class and has a beautiful singing voice! We will return! It's especially great for cold or rainy days to get some movement in.

    Our daughter has so much fun at this MyGym location. She is excited to go anytime she gets the chance. All the coaches are very knowledgeable, kind and are great with children. Our daughter especially loves Coach Tee and Ms. Gretchen.

    I love My Gym Boston, brought my baby in for his first class at 4 months & it was so much fun! The teachers were super attentive, the other parents in class were very welcoming, & I could tell he was having a blast. Ms. Donegan went out of her way to make his first class special. Can’t wait to return :)

    I love My Gym and my son does too! The staff does a great job creating activities that are inclusive and engaging for all the kids. Special shout-out to my son’s favorite teacher Donegan for her amazing attitude and leadership!

    We love MyGym! We’ve been bringing our now 15 month old there for a few months and it is always a great experience. The staff is so friendly, enthusiastic, organized and approachable. They give each child individual attention while also encouraging independence and socialization. The space is very clean and well maintained. I was so nervous so start my son in any classes like this and now MyGym is the highlight of our week! Thank you Donegan, Gretchen, Coach T, Abby, Caroline and Lila for always creating such a fun, safe and happy experience for our little guy!

  • 5/5 Katy W. 5 months ago on Google
    This gym is excellent. The staff is always full of energy and ready to play with the kids. Donegan does a wonderful job of managing the kids. We can’t wait to come back for our next class.

  • 5/5 Charles C. 6 months ago on Google
    Our kids, 4 & 1.5, love it here. Hourlong classes, lots of age-appropriate activities, good motor skill stuff. Most importantly, very friendly & engaged staff—they do a great job with all age levels. Not cheap, but going a few times a week makes it more than worth the cost.

    This review is long overdue!! Our family absolutely loves MyGym!! We have been coming to this location for several months and couldn't be happier. We are literally always there! It is such a gift to watch our son grow and learn there. It's a super clean environment and we always feel safe. Our son has developed lots of skills with the great coaching from staff. Thank you Gretchen, Ms. Donegan, Coach T, Abby, Caroline, & Lila, hope we're not forgetting anyone! You can see how much all the teachers care! We also love how they switch up the curriculum but still manage to include our favorite activities. So thankful for this MyGym, highly recommend!

    Our daughter loves MyGym Boston! She has been going since she was an infant and could barely roll over, and it has been amazing to watch her progress over the last 10 months. She visibly perks up when she sees the bright colors of the gym space, and she loves all of the teachers! We could not recommend MyGym enough!!

    We LOVE MyGym!! Each coach makes the whole experience something the kiddos look forward to everyday! Donegan, Tee, Gretchen, Abby, Lila and Caroline have a special skill to get these kids moving and grooving and growing their brains! We will be coming for a long time!

    Title: The Ultimate Fun and Fitness Destination for Kids! Rating: ★★★★★ my child has been going to my gym, and I must say its always an incredible experience. From the moment we step inside, we were greeted by friendly staff who make us feel welcomed and excited to explore all the activities the gym has to offer. First and foremost, the gym is impeccably clean and well-maintained. The safety measures in place are outstanding, providing parents like me with peace of mind while our little ones enjoy themselves. The equipment is state-of-the-art, with a wide range of age-appropriate options that cater to all developmental stages. The gym offers a fantastic variety of activities that engage children both physically and mentally. My child had a blast climbing on the colorful rock walls, jumping on the trampolines, and navigating through the challenging obstacle courses. The staff members were incredibly supportive and encouraging, ensuring that each child felt empowered to conquer new challenges. What impressed me the most was the gym's commitment to promoting healthy habits and fostering a love for fitness in children. They offer age-appropriate exercise classes and group activities that make staying active fun and enjoyable. The gym also goes the extra mile to make every visit a memorable one. They organize special events, such as themed parties and holiday celebrations, that keep the kids entertained and excited. The staff's enthusiasm and dedication to creating a fun and inclusive environment are truly commendable. Lastly, the prices are reasonable, considering the quality of facilities and services provided while making it accessible to families of all backgrounds. Overall, I cannot recommend my gym BOSTON enough. It is a haven for children to play, learn, and grow in a safe and stimulating environment. Whether you're looking to burn off some energy, develop new skills, or simply have a great time, the kids gym is the place to be. Trust me, your child will thank you for it
