Today was my son's last day here. A very sad moment but it is time for his next adventure. For two years we have seen him come out of his shell. At first he was very hesitant to participate in the activities and just thought of his class as a playground. But every week we saw him attempt new things and really take in the instruction and purpose of Gymboree. Once he started school skills was when we saw the most growth out of him. He's conversations at home improved, his confidence grew. We cannot thank the staff here enough for what they do. Their attention to the children is what every parent should desire for their little ones. I wish we could stay forever, thank you for making my son and daughter feel welcome and safe. Miss Kim we will never forget you and I know Levi will miss you. read more

My granddaughter really enjoys the class and always gets happy when it's time to attend. She looks forward to the activities and songs. The class has helped her with shyness and better social skills. Mr. Matt is an amazing instructor and singer. I was very pleased with how he interacts with the kids and what great voice he has. read more

We love Gymboree! My son has been going since the Crawlers class, and it's been such a great experience. Everyone there is super welcoming, and he always has the best time. Teacher Kim is really nice and so good with the kids. Highly recommend Gymboree if you're looking for a fun and supportive place for your little one to learn and play! read more

My daughter loves going to Gymboree and playing with all her friends while learning all sorts of fun things regarding the movement of the body. Teacher Matt is on the of the highlights there as well. The way he interacts with the kids and makes everyone feel included is great and my daughter is always happy to see him there. read more

We love coming to Gymboree weekly. My son loves the environment and how friendly everyone is. The staff is amazing and always makes you feel welcomed. read more

My 2.5 year old cried when entering the explorer class in Upland. Before I went to head out, the teacher, Matthew, made such great efforts with my son and he ended up staying and enjoying the class. A big thank you for Matthew's patience and extended support! My son asked if we could go back soon! read more

We love Gymboree! My son has learned so much from the fabulous teachers here. Not only are each one of these ladies welcoming, but they do such a great job incorporating education within the playtime. We started in the "walkers" class and have progressed to "runners" and now are learning so much in the "explorers" class. I appreciate the 45 minute session time, the open gym opportunities, the awesome app to schedule future classes and how clean the facility always is. We also had the most fantastic birthday party here recently & I highly recommend having your next event here. Check this place out if you have a little one. Your family will have the best time! :) read more

Really can't say enough good things about Gymboree! The teachers are so nice and engaging, the classes are always a good time and the facility is always super clean. We love this Gymboree facility and their San Dimas location as well! read more

We have had a wonderful experience over the past 2.5 years as our son has progressed through various age groups. The teachers are incredible - so kind, dedicated, and nurturing. The rooms are always kept very clean and well-maintained. Highly recommend this program! read more

This class is such a wonderful experience for my daughter. The teachers are kind, the activities are thought out and enriching, and best of all- my daughter loves class. Seeing her smile and laugh and interact with others her same age group is worth it. I'm very grateful for this Gymboree. read more

From Liz to Justin...wonderful team/staff and fun games for the kids. Our toddler loving every minute there. And great people all around...its nice to be around folks including the parents who share the same goal of wanting to help with their child's development for both mental/ physical growth and have fun too! read more

My child attended the School Skills program and it was an absolute joy watching her grow and thrive throughout her time in the program. As a first time parent whose child had only been home with me since birth, I was nervous about her starting school and being scared. School Skills was such a great transition program that I feel helped her really blossom and gain confidence being away from me within a school setting. My child very much enjoyed going to the program and looked forward to it. The teachers are so thoughtful, patient, and caring. They truly are the greatest! I felt safe leaving my child in their hands knowing that if she was having a hard time, they would take the time and help her through it. I highly recommend Gymboree to any parent! read more

My toddler has been attending classes for over a year and we absolutely love coming! Heather, Giana and Kim are all amazing!

My daughter absolutely loves the teachers at this Gymboree. They all have the most remarkable patience with our littles!

Very impressed with this place and the staff, was a very enjoyable experience for both my 7 month old son and I. We live in Arizona and were visiting family and we're looking for something to do that was age appropriate for him. I was excited to learn some fun activities we could take home with us that were not expensive we found most items at Walmart. If I lived there I would definitely sign my son up.. it was nice to have other kids his age there and in a small group setting. read more

Today was mine & my daughter's first time trying this place out and we loved it! We did the Family Music class with Miss Heather I think. She was super sweet, kind, and welcoming from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Although the other babies in the class could walk (my daughter is barely about to be 9 months & doesn't walk/crawl), that didn't stop Miss Heather from including us in the dancing, playing, and song activities. My Sophia still participated in everything, but while sitting down. She had so much fun... she knocked out in the car ride home! We'll be returning weekly read more

My daughter is 13 months old. We tried Gymboree and My Gym out and ended up choosing Gymboree. My Gym seems great for older kids while Gymboree seems perfect for the little ones. Teacher Liz was so welcoming and amazing. All the babies seemed to have a fantastic time doing the activities and meeting other babies. I know my daughter loved it! Looking forward to attending more classes! read more

Love, love, love these classes! Currently in the babies class and have learned so much from the instructors as well as other participants. My 6 months has the best time which makes this new momma a very happy one! Thank you team Upland Gymboree mucho gracias read more

My son attended for a full two years. I highly recommend all of the programs they have to offer. My son learned valuable social skills that, to this day, have helped him be kind, gentle, and, loving to other children. Moreover, I was able to connect with many mothers (and fathers) going through the same toddler stages as me. To this day, the families whom I met at Gymboree still see each other on a regular basis, and, we have all remained close friends. I could not have found some of my best friends (and my son's best friends) had I never enrolled my son at Gymboree. The teachers (Ms. Cristina, Ms. Mackenzie, Ms. Sarah, Ms. Heather, Ms. Morgan) were very loving, professional, and, attentive. read more

My 8 month old Luna had her first class today and she enjoyed it! She loooves music and the teacher Heather was wonderful! It was like having a live YouTube kids music video. She has a great voice and was super sweet with all the children. Really enjoyed our class and can't wait to continue bringing my little one here read more

Heather is amazing. I couldn't ask for a better teacher. She caters to all the students and makes me feel as though she pays my son special attention but I'm sure every parent feels that way. My son is adjusting since he just started and is having trouble being around other kids but i see an improvement every class. read more

I have been meaning to review Gymboree upland since moving away but it's better late than never. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this location and the ownership. They just "get it" when it comes to children. This was such a safe and clean place when we were members. My daughter absolutely loved not only the gym classes but also the music classes! read more

This location and it's staff are amazing! The lovely gals go beyond what is expected. They are so lively and friendly. You can tell they thoroughly enjoy what they do. My eldest took classes at another location and it was a dump compared to Upland. I actually enjoy taking my babe to her weekly class. She has so much fun and is able to do things at her own pace (isn't forced to do anything). The center is clean, the equipment is fairly new, and once again, the staff is amazing! I have no complaints! read more

I'm so glad we found this place, the moment my son sees where we are headed he gets excited and runs to the door because he can't wait for class. Jussin is fantastic with the kids, he really knows how to encourage them and ensure everyone has fun. My son responds so well to it and regularly wants to carry on with what he's learned from Jussin when we get home. Honestly the runners class is always one of our highlights of the week and I would encourage anyone on the fence about trying Gymboree to sign up for a class because your toddlers won't regret it. read more

I signed up for a one time class to check out the class and did that twice before committing to weekly. I absolutely love this place! Great teachers and a overall great atmosphere for kids! Most importantly, my daughter enjoys coming to class and learns along the way! read more

Gymboree has been 5 stars for my family for six years. My kids loved all the classes and teachers. My oldest started here when he was one, and my youngest is finishing School Skills now at almost 5 years old. Heather, Morgan, Liz, and the rest of the teachers made the classes fun for the kids and parents, and really got to know every child. They offer parent and me classes from infant through 2 years old (plus parent and me music classes through 5). They change up the gym structures every two weeks so it stays engaging for the kids. The classes use a lot of pretend play and music. My children gained confidence playing on the gym structures with other children and with a parent to help support them. Then School Skills drop off classes are from 3 to 5 years old. We loved that when it was time for School Skills, my kids and I had known their teachers for a couple years already. The teachers work hard to bring out the best in each child. My kids learned how to follow directions, play with others, ask and answer questions, and more in a fun environment. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

Today we had my daughter's 1st birthday party at Gymboree in Upland. The booking process was easy and speaking to Morgan she was so kind from day 1. Then the actual day of our party, we were late and come rushing in. They were so sweet and jumped right in to help us. Kymberly was our party attendant and she was so good with all the kids and the parents too. Heather and Morgan helped us set up and helped clear and man the party. Overall such a great experience for my baby's first big day. Truly could not say enough good things about Morgan, Kymberly and Heather. Don't hesitate to take a class or book a party here. They truly care about what they do and it shows. Thanks again girls read more

My 20 month old son loves Gymboree. He has been attending since he was 18 months and we will continue attending class as he really enjoys socializing with other kids his age and learning through play. We are planning on having his 2nd birthday here in June, looking forward to it. read more

My child and I were not welcomed...unfriendly staff. Did not include my child in the activities they had.

I would give more stars, if I could! We took our daughter to Gymboree Play and Learn when she was 9 months old until she was 3 years old. She loved, loved, LOVED it! Teacher Heather is the best. I am a teacher also, so my expectations are quite high and she surpassed all of them. My daughter is now 5 years old and she still talks about Teacher Heather. She draws pictures for her and asks me to mail them to her. Her drawings are quite good, which I think is due to the art class that I enrolled her in at 3 at Gymboree. I recommend the art classes, as well. Check out Gymboree. They offer a free trial class. A reviewer mentioned that it's not worth the price. I disagree! I've recommended Gymboree to many of my friends, and their kids had so much fun. My daughter was so happy at Gymboree. I remember when we told her she was too old for Gymboree and couldn't go anymore, she was very upset. :( Gymboree has given us many wonderful memories. It's a good place for parents (especially first-time moms) and their little ones! read more

My 24 months love going to Gymboree Upland. It's clean and the teachers are nice and patient. They address any questions you have and are extremely helpful. They maintain the place clean and have strict policy about sickies. read more

I love this place and so does my daughter. The teachers are amazing and full of great tips and guidance for new Moms like me. When I first came here I was new in town and it really gave me a space to meet other Moms and realize we all are just figuring it out. At the beginning of each class we go around the circle and have discussions on different topics and introduce our children. Best Mom decision for my daughters growth and social skills. read more

My son has been attending class here since before he can walk. We love it here, and with the recent upgrade to the facility it's even nicer to play in. They change the configuration of the room every few weeks, so it's never boring. The staff is great...we especially love Ms. Heather, my hubby says he enjoys her tone when she sings. There is something in her voice that's very fun and inviting. read more

I have taken my son to the Gymboree on Tuesday nights for almost 4 months now. My son (19 months old) and I love this class. Miss Heather is one of the best people I know to teach a class like this. It is incredible how active she is with these kids, everyone feels included and she remembers everyone's name without using name tags! My son knows when it's time to go to Gymboree and he gets so excited. He has improved so much in so many areas. He is around adults all day and going to this class has helped him get acclamated to other children. He has learned to sign (which is so helpful), climb, jump, balance, share (still working on that) and so many other things. He has even made new friends I would recommend this class to all new parents. I would give it more stars if i could! read more

My son started at Gymboree in their level one class when he was about four months old. He is now in the level four class (for ages 16-22 months.) The exercises and activities in the classes are tailored specifically for the children's age group. The classes have provided my son the opportunity to get physical activity, improve his coordination, increase his social skills, and much much more. When my wife and/or I take him to class, he usually starts shrieking very excitedly and jumping up and down. He absolutely loves the classes! The facilities (we have been to both the Upland and San Dimas location-same owner) are kept immaculately clean. The teachers for my sons classes have been fantastic, especially his recent teachers Abby and Janelle. It would be almost impossible for me to imagine any child not loving and benefiting from the classes here. Please note this review is for both the San Dimas and Upland locations. read more

Excellent location and staff. My son has come to various classes to find the best one for him and Heather and the staff are very accommodating and friendly, as hopefully all instructors are. M It's a highlight of my week to see how much fun this is for my son. read more

Wonderful teachers here. Our 15 month old loves the Play & Learn classes so far. Their theme changes every 2 weeks so they keep the gym area interesting and the kids continually learning new skills. My husband is a stay at home dad and takes our son here twice a week, and I am able to join when my schedule allows. It gives them something fun and interactive to do together, and it's especially great to have another place to go in the middle of the summer heat. read more

We had my daughter first birthday here and it was seriously the best thing we could have done! It was such a great party with all the babies playing and having a great time the whole time and I got to enjoy the party! Ms michenzie was the best host! Kids loved her, parents loved her, I loved her! I give this gymboree the highest recommendation possible and I know I'm not the only one. I love their classes and now I can also say I love their parties as well. I had high expectations and they completely exceeded them. read more

I attended a free class at this Gymboree whn my baby was 5mo. It was very nice, clean, and the teacher seemed very knowledgeable about babies. As a new 1st time mommy, the instructor really gave me some helpful advise. I think she may hv been a retired nurse. I then attended a free class at MyGym in Rancho Cucamonga. In comparison with Gymboree, it was like "nigh & day". MyGym had (and always has) at least 2 instructors regardless of class size. The instructors are very active, outgoing and playful with the kids. There was more to do at MyGym also. At MyGym they have a ball pit (which they clean weekly), many climbing structures, trampoline, toys, bubbles, parachute, one on one obstacle courses, and various gymnastics. They also have song, dance, puppet, and kids only (turtle time) activities. Gymboree was more of s sing, music, parachute, and puppet play. They have play structures there that are soft and cutesy and a little bridge, but its not very challenging or promotes growth of skills. I like that Gymboree is more well lit. Thats mainly because it has an all glass wall with a view of the parking lot. MyGym is darker inside and the carpet is darker. I guess if you are a very cautious parent who wants to make sure your kid definitely will not fall climbing tall structures, run around and be chased for fun, explore on their own sometimes, and learn sharing and other social skills, and have the instructor sit in one place singing and shaking instruments, then you should choose Gymboree. If you want instructors who are more active and not sit in one place singing songs, but act like kids themselves (yet very responsible), and challenge your kids with different activities each visit, different games, songs, and etc, then MyGym is for you. I tried to give Gymboree one more chance now that my baby is 2yrs old and she loved playing with the new toys and all, but afterwards was still hyped to do something else. Maybe my child is just super hyper and needs more. Who knows. But, I ended up taking her to MyGym to have "free play" after the light "warm up" at Gymboree. Both are great places for kids. Both are a little costly (Mygym $65 monthly/ Gymboree $75 monthly). It all depends on your and your child's preference. My preference is MyGym and I decided to continue at MyGym. read more

I've been taking my daughter here regularly since she was about a year old. She's 2 1/2 now and she still loves it just as much as when she first started her classes! I agree with the other yelpers Heather is the best teacher, she truly has a great personality and really gets all the toddlers to participate which can be quite challenging at times for the other teachers. I wish she could teach all the classes but the other ones are ok too. I love that the classes tie in with gymbucks that's a plus for our family! The play area is clean and I've seen ladies come in during class to wipe down the gym equipment which is a huge deal to me especially bc kids pass sicknesses around so quickly, thanks gymboree ! read more
