    We've attended the wonder kids class for nearly half a year now. My son really enjoyed going to class, and Miss Nelsy has been a great teacher to him. So, it is a great class overall, except for one major issue -- there is a kid that is very physically aggressive towards other kids. I have seen him push/pull/pinch/bully my son on numerous occasions, unprovoked, and his aggression seems to have gotten worst lately. When I brought this up with Priscilla (the director) and Nelsy, they told me that he has been doing this with other kids as well. Priscilla said they will start implementing time-outs immediately because in the past, they have just told him to apologize, and there were no consequences. Well, I was in class observing the other day, and this kid threw an object at another kid, unprovoked again. Nelsy wanted to do time-out, but Priscilla intervened and said no time-out. To my shock and dismay, she said time-outs won't work and that she'll try to play with him. She then proceeded to chat with him about what kind of ice cream he wanted. So, not only are there no consequences for his bad behavior but he gets rewarded by getting special attention from a teacher to play with him?! What kind of message is Priscilla sending to this kid? No wonder he is getting more aggressive. Needless to say, after witnessing how she handled the situation, I canceled the class immediately. It has been incredibly stressful, and it's just not worth it to endanger my son. If any kids get hurt, Priscilla needs to be held accountable.

    My kid was at The Little Gym of Mountain View for around six months. At first, it seemed good – my son loved it, and the teachers rocked. But then, in my kid's last class, a heavy wall clock fell dangerously close to my son. Thankfully, he wasn’t hurt. However, things could have turned out much worse. I had previously overlooked the older equipment in the gym because the teaching was great. But nothing matters if safety isn’t a top priority in this place.

    My 4 year old child definitely needs extra nurturing, encouragement, and often, clarification of tasks. This Little Gym is a perfect fit for her. Different from other experiences I have had, instructors are very encouraging, caring, hands on, and observant. At the previous gym we were going to, my child was often either feeling left out or getting left out because she wasn’t sure what she was supposed to be doing. It didn’t seem like there was much help. Here at the little gym it is the polar opposite. If you are looking for a really great, nurturing place for your younger child, I highly recommend little gym!

    We have been going to the little of gym of mountain view, since my son was 2 years old. He has had four birthday parties there so far and recently he started joining their gymnastic class. He really likes his class, because all the activities is mixed with fun games and music. The teachers are so kind and caring. In my opinion the best point about their gymnastic class is that they only focus on each kid strength and weakness and don't make a competitive atmosphere at all.

    Miss Priscilla is the best. Our son is very shy in the class but she can come over and make him feel safe and comfortable. Excellent facilities, clean and the energy by Miss Priscilla is always welcoming. Would highly highly recommend to anyone looking for an afternoon activity for their children.

    Teachers are great, loved Mr Dennis, really good with my son and it wasn't about just doing some gym activities it was about working on your child's development and an environment where they can feel comfortable to go at their own pace. Initially my son was all over the place, never listening to the instruction but with Mr Dennis, he let him explore with no worries and eventually my son joined the group a bit more. The classes for younger kids are with the parent and as they get older parents can watch from the outer room. Good place to meet other parent too!

    Though we had no experience with The Little Gym, we decided to book them for our daughter’s birthday party this year. The location was ideal for the families we were inviting and it seemed like a fun setup for a group of children under age 5. The entire experience was great; I’m truly impressed with their professionalism. There was really good communication leading up to the party date; Priscilla kept me informed of everything I needed to know and was quick to get back to me with answers to my questions. She’s been taking notes on what works best for parties in a post-COVID world and was ready to share those insights. All we had to do was come with food. They took care of all the setup, put on a fun and engaging program of activities for the kids, and took on all the clean-up—all while making our birthday girl feel special. They even boxed up all the leftovers and helped load our car for us. This freed us to take photos, chat with the other parents, and just enjoy watching the kids tumble around having a blast. Managing a group of kids at this age is a challenge, but they have it down to a science and knew exactly how to direct them through each activity, transition them to the party room when it was time for snacks and cupcakes, and bring things to a logical close. I’m so glad we decided to give them a try!

    The teachers are so wonderful and patient. They allow kids to challenge themselves safely and are always introducing new, fun activities. I have seen a noticeable difference in my daughter’s confidence since we started back at Little Gym. She is more willing to do things she used to consider scary at the playground and is eager to show us what she is learning!

    Highly recommend Little Gym! Teachers are great and my son always looks forward to coming to see Mr.Nick. There’s a good balance between structure and free play, especially at a young toddler age when kids are eager to explore. I’ve seen my son’s confidence grow with his physical skills. Mr. Nick has a gentle approach with the kids. He demonstrates skills well and helps as needed but doesn’t push the kids to try skills if they are uncomfortable. My son appreciated this as he often preferred to observe for awhile and then try new skills or equipment. Little Gym is a lot of fun!

    Ms. Priscilla is the best! She is so energetic and I am amazed at how she remembers all the kids’ names and engages with them individually throughout class. My son loves attending his class!

  • 5/5 Ljiljana C. 5 years ago on Google • 9 reviews
    I really like this place! My daughter was not very skillful in the gym, but in couple of months she really improved her skills and is much more confident. They do change instructors often, but we really like Mr Carlo, he is very patient, articulate with the kids, teaches each one to do the exercise properly. And the kids seem to really have fun. We are coming back next year!

    Great classes for young kids from age 18 months-5/6. Cool for birthday parties too.

  • 5/5 Chelsea W. 8 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Both my child and I love Miss Priscilla’s class so much! She’s so energetic and very good at interacting with every kid. Strongly recommend her class!

  • 5/5 Tamar B. 1 year ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Teachers are super patient, and while the groups are sometimes large, they manage to give each student the personal attention they need in order to improve personal skills. All this in a fun and non competitive environment.

  • 5/5 Marcela B. 6 years ago on Google
    I like how my toddler can explore without fear since he is in a safe environment. I also like how the teachers are caring and always encouraging him to do his best.

  • 5/5 Ana V. C. 3 years ago on Google
    Love the teachers and activities at TLG MV! Their staff is amazing with the kids and they did an amazing job managing through Covid. Highly recommend it for regular classes and birthday parties!

  • 5/5 Anna M. 3 years ago on Google
    I love the atmosphere on the classes. We spend such a great time every week and the skills that my son starts incorporating into his daily activities are just a side effect. Thank you for creating this amazing place

  • 5/5 samantha y. 11 years ago on Google
    super friendly place and sounds much fun ...kids love would love it!

  • 4/5 Marylou W. 10 years ago on Google
    My daughter thinks they are fun. I like the physical challenge component, that my daughter is doing things that are just a little out of her reach.

  • 4/5 Tesla S. 7 years ago on Google
    The infant/toddler classes were overwhelming for us - way too loud and frenetic. But we love the preschooler classes, particularly the "sports skills." The teachers are great, with a good combination of empathy and redirecting kids into appropriate behavior when needed.

  • 5/5 Scott M. 7 years ago on Google
    Amazing, simply amazing. The sincere, skilled, caring interaction provided by staff to children, parents, and visitors is far above that which we have observed at other facilities. The activities are age-appropriate and well-structured. Keep up the great work!

  • 5/5 Cathy L. 6 years ago on Google
    Great venue to hosts birthdays for ages 3-6. Quite impressed with how clean the facility is, the activities and play structures provided, the facilitators/instructors were super engaged with the kids, and the owners were very friendly and professional. The kids had a blast here.

    We tried the complementary class today and had a positive experience. The trainer was quite energetic and was able to make the toddler group quite comfortable. The equipment and accessories in the classroom seemed safe for little ones. We signed up for the membership ($25/year, 50% discount on signing up at end of complementary class). Note the weekly per class fee is $26; the idea of make-up class and practice classes makes it possibly worthwhile

    The staff is like family we've known for years. The programs have done wonders for her confidence!

  • 5/5 Alexander R. 5 years ago on Google
    The classes are 5 star rate led by all the trainers and yoga instructors, they were such a welcoming. Good gym and good people,I recommend.

  • 5/5 Susan S. 5 years ago on Google
    Our boys love this safe environment where they can learn to be little gymnasts! No performance pressure, lots of fun and clean, beautiful studio. Ten out of ten stars!

  • 5/5 Nell L. 6 years ago on Google
    The Little Gym of Mountain View may just be my sons favorite place. He has a blast at every class and loves the teachers and owners. My husband and I love it because it's a safe, clean, and friendly environment where our son can play, learn skills, and interact with other kids his age. We look forward to the classes every week and highly recommend the Little Gym of Mountain View!

  • 5/5 Rachel S. 5 years ago on Google
    Such great staff. I would recommend them highly.

  • 5/5 Lorincz A. 5 years ago on Google
    Fun gymnastic place for kids, they love to come back every time.

  • 5/5 Rahul S. 5 years ago on Google
    Such great staff. They really made our 3 year olds bday party easy and relaxing. Didn't have to worry about much. They took care of a lot. So easy.

  • 5/5 Balvie A. 5 years ago on Google
    We LOVE Little Gym. My son, who was/is a late speaker has grown so much there and can’t stop raving and gets so excited when it’s Little Gym time. We love each and every staff member. I’m disappointed that we didn’t start going there since months old rather at the age he started (3.5) If you want true enrichment for your child Little Gym is it. It’s not simply a place holder for time like many other places.

  • 5/5 Jeremy M. 4 years ago on Google
    Good, clean equipment. Very convenient.

  • 5/5 Marilyn H. 4 years ago on Google
    This gym has some of the most amazing trainers. Who has completely changed my life in the way I look at fitness and my health.

  • 5/5 Frances L. 6 years ago on Google
    You really make the kids feel comfortable and they have so much fun!

  • 5/5 Brad G. 4 years ago on Google
    A great fun-focused and low-pressure place for kids to get some physical activity in gymnastics or other classes. Also good for birthday parties.

  • 5/5 Erin S. 5 years ago on Google
    Great teachers, nice owners. All of my kids have come through here. Also, the summer camps are convenient. You can sign up for a single session if they have room. No need to do the whole week.

  • 5/5 Tiem S. 5 years ago on Google
    Great staff, fun place for toddlers

  • 5/5 Adrienne T. 5 years ago on Google
    My son (8 months) and I love going to The Little Gym. The class is engaging with a good mix of structure and free play. The staff has been nothing but warm and inviting. We've been going for over a month now and we've had nothing but good experiences here.

  • 5/5 Yi L. 6 years ago on Google
    Great teachers and great owner. I like their philosophy and flexibility. The way teachers Mr Marcus interacts with kids is great. We tried one class and my son loves Mr Marcus we enroll since then. It has been 3 month so far, the experience communicating with the owner/front desk/teacher are very pleasant. Highly recommend! If you are not sure, go to the free try out class to observe your kids in class.

  • 1/5 Anastasia d. 6 years ago on Google
    I really hate the random recordings that are clearly required to be played. The customer service and classes were mediocre at best. My two year old liked the free play but it was overall too short and too rigid. After we had to cancel our membership due to a parental injury we had more than a month of makeup sessions which were not honored. Even when I canceled my actual gym membership they weren’t this difficult. I would find someplace else to go.

  • 5/5 Deborah G. 6 years ago on Google
    A very welcoming community with consistently great staff/management, and my child always has a blast!

  • 5/5 Sara M. 6 years ago on Google
    Nice and convenient space for kids development and fun. My child loves it!
