During these Corvid times, it is hard to find a safe practicing facility for kid activities' such…read moreas gymnastics especially when the activities are so physically demanding where they use their hands and foot to participate in almost all activities. I have been coming here for the past few weeks and noticed these safe guarding processes such as temperature screening, hand/foot sanitizers and per-marked 6 ft squares in the lobby area. My kids told me that the instructors do wipe down the equipment after each student's activities and always everyone is required to wear a mask. This facility does offer some sort of streaming app called SpotTV, which is a bit difficult to get the app to register and properly work all the time but once everything is working properly, you are able to see your kids activities online. Parking is limited in their private lot and there are metered parking outside.

The coaches/staff members are very good with the kids and keep them engaged from beginning to end. The gym is clean and organized. It's one big gym, so they have different age groups and skill level groups all practicing at the same time, but they keep things moving so no class collides with another. Prices for the classes are pretty typical in cost and the classes, especially weekends do fill up very quickly. When registration opens it's wise to sign up that day, because putting it off could possibly leave you with a "class filled." If there is one thing they need to address and rectify it's the horrid smell of feet that reeks from the gymnasium when the door is opened. I mean I get this is a gymnastics gym and all of the 50 plus people in one area at the same time are shoe less, BUT that does not mean it should smell as it does! I mean they seriously need to invest in some commercial deodorizers or something! Where you have large dispensers on automatic spray timers because every time they open that door to the gymnasium my nose threatens to leave me!!

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!

We've been going to Little Gym for over a year and absolutely love it. Our son is now 2 and we…read morestarted him in classes just after he started walking. I love that it's a mixture of structured and unstructured play, which is the perfect fit for our kiddo. It's been amazing to see what skills he has picked up from class. All of the coaches we've had have been wonderful (shoutout to Anna, Daniel, and Vanessa). Every week they have a theme and focus on different skills and give you ideas of what to do at home to continue the theme. The staff is super friendly and helpful. If we can't make it in or need to schedule a makeup class, it's easy to do via text or phone call.

Even without that nice perk, it was still a great place to take our son. They cover a large range of ages, and his first class was when he was little under a year and a half and couldn't quite walk yet. At that young, it's mostly teaching them how to listen to instructions, play on the equipment and tumble around. He was a little too young to directly socialize with the other kids but still had a blast. For younger ones parents are expected to be in the class with their child so be sure to keep that in mind. They often have "Parents Night Out" events where kids can be dropped off for an evening, but your boy was too young for those. Probably the best thing about Little Gym is how flexible they are with make up classes. Kids get sick, vacations come up, etc. and the make up system is really simple - basically as long as you let them know you're missing a class before it starts, you get a make up class in the bank that you can use. Since there are multiple instances of a class running in a week you just need to find a day that works for you and can use up those classes whenever. The staff here is great and the classes are always well structured. We'll definitely miss taking our little one but hopefully this can get others to take a trial class here.

About 4 years ago, they also attended a dance class, but I noticed on my recent last visit to watch them, that the dance studios have all been removed, some remodeling done, and the whole facility is now oriented to gymnastics only. Attached are some recent photos of the remodeled sections. I don't really know anything about the administration of their programs, but the daughter is pretty happy about their program, the cost, and the girls' progress and enjoyment. Most sessions are filled months in advance, and there are waitlists for every level as their whole program is very popular. One complaint I have heard though is that when a kiddo gets promoted to the next level, they may still have to wait a few weeks or months to move up as there are no openings at the next level. They have a ton of staffers and if you want to be a junior gymnastics instructor, this place sure seems to draw a lot of them for what that's worth.

GYMNASTICS BIRTHDAY PARTY My daughter had her 6th birthday…read moreparty here in 2007. It was great! Easy registration. Affordable. Received a phone call from the organizer the week before. They were very helpful and pleasant. They provide you with a big room to store coats, etc. and have food and cake. We had about 20 kids - almost an even number of boys and girls - and they split them up into two groups. The instructors were fun, organized, and somehow kept the kids in two lines doing all the gymnastics the whole time. The gymnastics equipment is clean.
