There was very little parking available in front of the building. We ended up parking about two blocks away at a meter. We were provided grippy socks but I'm not sure if you can bring your own or have to buy theirs as an fyi.

We have attended My Gym in South Loop for a number of classes now, and I really love it! My…read moreexpectations are high, and this place meets it. It is clean, organized, the instructors are WONDERFUL, and it is a very happy place to take little ones. The space is not huge, but it amazes me how much they do with the space to keep things different and exciting for kids. My toddler has learned to be more social with others, made friends, come out of her shell and now introduces herself in class (a form of public speaking for their age), practices waiting her turn and sharing, and has worked on numerous physical abilities. This place is great not only to just do something different, but to develop their mental and physical capabilities. The instructors are very engaging, kind, gentle and work with kids wherever they're at. My toddler is obsessed and we look forward to going every time!

My son and his friend really wanted a Mario Kart birthday party. I looked into all the race and…read morebumper car options all over the North Shore, but ideally wanted to rent my own cars and put them in a local gym. I did some research and discovered you could rent power wheels cars (genius) and bumper cars (for older kids) thru Party Wheelz. I booked everything thru Diane at Party Wheelz who was super easy to work with. We decided on 9 power wheels for the size of our party, which also had some other mario themed entertainment. The next step was finding a gym that would let us bring in the power wheels. We had a few options in the North Shore, but ended up settling on a beautiful gym in Northbrook that was just perfect. Diane and her team showed up 45 min before party time to set up the cars and the obstacle course. When all the kids arrived they couldn't be more excited when they saw both the obstacle course and cars. In fact, they wanted nothing to do with the other activities including mario and luigi characters and playing nintendo because they just wanted to race the cars over and over again. Diane and her team kept things super well organized and I was impressed with how the kids waited patiently for their turns, although no one needed to wait for more than a few minutes. She also even had goody bags for the kids which included fun glasses and whistles, although I think all the adults who stuck around could have done without the piercing whistle sounds. Overall, it was a hit and I think perfect for a group of 1st grade boys. I think it's ideal for ages 4-7 and beyond that I'd look into the bumper car options for older kids.

Diane, the Party Wheelz Owner, was responsive, professional, and seemed to take true joy in the day along with us. Communication was easy before, during, and after the party. Dropoff was a breeze and the end of party was seamless. We had 2 straight hours of fun on the cars, smiles all around. I would highly, highly recommend Party Wheelz for any kids' event!

The girls had a blast with their tails learning to blow heart shaped bubbles, swim like a mermaid and perform underwater forward/backward somersaults. Finally, they did mermaid poses in front of the inflatable shell for mom to take photos. Highly recommend the experience. One suggestion: Leave plenty of time to find parking as it's a bit limited right on campus, so you may have to walk a bit to the pool.

The growth they experienced is a testament to how parents and more importantly children have embraced iCook's approach to making healthy eating fun.

Not to mention that now anyone, anywhere can take classes with Mr. Dave. Mr. Dave is just as great and engaging in the virtual classes as he is in person. The sound is really nice, the set is cute, and Mr. Dave has his animal "friends" there dancing along with us. There is a lot of active movement, which is great considering we are staying inside for much of the time. By the end of the class, we have danced, jumped, sang, done sign language, learned about instruments and animals and our ABCs and all kinds of things. The price point on the virtual classes is great and the times they offer are convenient. Can't wait to be back in the studio... but for now - we love the Mr. Dave Music 'Virtual Experience'!
