    Signed up for classes since I had a pandemic baby and was hoping it would be good for her. Honestly it’s just way to overpriced. Also the timings aren’t great if your child is younger than 2 years old. Sometimes the classes would be around her nap time which made her cranky. To be completely honest I don’t recommend this place. Each class is literally over $30 a class which is very expensive for a 45 min class. Majority of the class the kids just run around so it’s not worth it. I have found that my daughter enjoys indoor parks so much more which cost about $20 with a lot more fun activities Which works better for me because I can go whenever I want so I don’t feel pressured to have my kid ready at a certain time. If your child is young you know it’s hard to stick to a schedule most of the time. Also, Like other reviews mentioned the front desk makes passive aggressive remarks and I don’t feel comfortable asking him any questions which shouldn’t be the case. I would feel comfortable even calling if I needed to change the day of the class. I won’t be going back.

    Really fun gymnastic experience for the kids and a joy for the parents to witness. Our two kids of different ages both love going to the little gym and the instructors are all fun and engaging with the kids. The equipment is good and each week they focus on different skills. I recommend this for kids, especially the little ones.

    Extremely disappointed by the level of management integrity. So basically I came in for the first time on February 3rd with my child. My child enjoyed his session and so I signed him up for a monthly membership. After two weeks, I couldn’t get my child to want to go back (we only went that one time when we signed him up) and so I called to cancel my child’s membership and they refused to let me cancel without having to pay for one more additional month. I AM NOT EVEN ASKING FOR A REFUND I JUST WANT TO CANCEL MY CHILDS MEMBERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. I was told I need to cancel 30 days in advance so that I have to pay for one more month… my membership hasn’t even been active for 30 days for that to even be possible????. So that basically means after signing up, you are locked in for 2 months as it’s not possible to cancel before the second month. This is extremely ridiculous policy to apply immediately. Listen I understand policies are in place but the fact there was no empathy by management after explanation my circumstances says a lot about the integrity of this place. Forcing me to pay one extra month is robbery. Moral of the story, be very sure your child wants to sign up and make sure you initiate cancellations at least one month in advance. Don’t expect any favors.

    This place is awesome, in 2018 we were looking for an activity based class for our daughter to learn and develop skills. Thank goodness we found this place. They have a flexible schedule and the staff (Leon, Hara, Brittany and Izzy) are really awesome. They really give attention and focus on helping out each kid in the class and most importantly, our daughter has developed skills and had so much fun doing so. The staff at the little gym is also accommodating and are genuinely great people who really enjoy helping kids. Our daughter is so excited to go to Little Gym every week!!!

    Very friendly staff, great space, lots of classes to choose from and very easy to cancel a class and schedule a make-up in case there is a scheduling conflict. Both of my kids absolutely look forward to their time here. The idea of "Parents Survival Night" is also incredible.

    We booked our daughter’s birthday party at this location. It was easy to do it online and they followed up right away with a phone call. From the beginning they were very helpful and answered my million questions. They carry limited party themes, but since I wanted an Abby Cadabby theme, we had to bring our own decor. I dropped off the decorations the day before and on the day of the party, Vita and her team had decorated beautifully. We were very happy. They provide pizza and juices for the kids. And they can order outside catered food for the parents. We brought our own food and it wasn’t an issue. Our guests started showing up early and they were allowed to come in and wait till the party started. We added 1/2 hour which I think was needed, otherwise, it would’ve been too rushed. The staff packed up leftovers and decorations and cleaned the party room, while we said goodbye to our guests, which was helpful. Our guests were aged 1 to 12; but I do think it’s better for kids age 10 and under. Still, the parents told me their kids had a blast. The kids go into the playroom to play while parents stay outside. So I would recommend you bring some light snacks for adults and some music while they wait for their kids and the main food came out. We didn’t think of that. We actually had them hold off on all the food till the kids came out from play and I didn’t realize that parents may have been hungry waiting for their kids. But it was all fine. And the most important thing is that our daughter had a blast!

    While the staff are very friendly Liam the franchisee is terrible. We sent our daughter there for years and paid thousands of dollars. When we decided to end our relationship after seeing a charge on payment method Liam refused to issue a refund for services not rendered. We saw the charge, called to inquire why we were being charged, and requested a refund only to be told they are not capable, not that they can’t, or won’t, but are incapable of issuing refunds to original payment methods which is illegal. He’s rude and clearly has no value for his clients. I regret exposing my daughter to someone of such low moral and ethical standards and will be scheduling time with the local PTA’s to share my experience to ensure families are warned of his illicit practices before entering into business with him. His business licenses should be revoked.

    Great space to have a birthday party! My son turned 6 and it was perfect for his age. All of his friends were entertained the whole time! Nice to have a private space big enough for both kids and parents! The attendants were all energetic and friendly as well! Highly recommend!

    My two year old daughter loves Little Gym! She is often in quiet and observation mode but at Little Gym she is ready to explore movement, balance and strength. The staff is friendly, calm and experienced. It is always very organized and clean. It's a lot of fun.

    The Little Gym is a great place for our 20 month old to work on his gross motor skills. We really like the consistent routine the instructor provides each week. Our son knows what to expect and is able to anticipate the next activity. Since he doesn't go to daycare, he has difficulty following directions during group activities-- it's a new skill he is working on. The instructor has been so kind and patient with our son as he is learning how to be a part of a group. And so far each week, my husband and I have seen a positive change. Also, he's been learning a new gym skill every week. He's getting better at climbing, walking up/down inclines, gripping, and even participating during circle time. Since there has been no pressure in forcing our son to participate in any of the activities, this has allowed us to teach him to join in on the fun without making a scene.

    My son loves to go to the Little Gym! We live a bit far from it, but my son so eager to go there! The place is very tidy and the atmosphere is warm. Ms. Hara and Mr Izzy are his instructors, they are very friendly and kind, always encouraging and helping the munchkins! Class activities are fun. If I had to reschedule, whoever picked up the phone , they were really polite and tried to work out the best for both parties. I'm really pleased, because this is my son first experience in these kinds of settings and he had a blast! Thank you

    My daughters just had their birthday party here and it was such a great experience. The staff set up the party room so beautifully and the kids had such a blast doing the activities and gymnastics. Very stress free. The staff was so helpful in every way. They set up, cleaned up and overall we’re just very pleasant.

    We love the Little Gym! Our daughter is very shy, but the teachers have been so patient with her. We can tell she is gaining confidence as she participates more and more in the fun weekly sessions. The space is safe and comfortable - highly recommend!
