This place had potential, we had some good class and some not so good. The last straw is when I tried to cancel my membership during the pandemic. We had let our membership continue even through the gym had closed hoping things would reopen soon. After paying for 2 month of the gym not being open we decided to cancel and was told we still need to provide 30 days notice, so that was another month of we had to pay for nothing.

Good gym. Horrible management.

The concept is good but execution is poor. Classes are hit or miss in terms of when they will be held and how good/engaged the instructor of the day is. Would be worth dealing with at half the price.

We love Little Gym! Our daughter has been enjoying classes since the fall, and everyone is super nice. There isnt much to do with a small baby or toddler, but this is a perfect way to enjoy time with your little one and meet other families in the area. Tiffany and the other instructors are so good with the kids, and I appreciate that they share how or what our child is learning from the activities going on. We also just attended a birthday party there which looked like a professional party planner put it together! Surprise - they do it all and did it well! Keep it up Little Gym!

We love The Little Gym in Frederick! The Owner Tiffany is great and the teachers are wonderful. My son and his cousins look forward to going to gymnastics each week. They are both getting stronger and have so much fun learning to tumble, walk the beam, flip on bars, etc. There are different themes each week, along with extra practice sessions that are included with the fee as well as extras like parties, themed parent’s night out sessions (for an extra fee) preschool and summer camps. We can’t wait to have our next birthday party here as well!! I totally recommend!

We absolutely love The Little Gym. My daughter has been going there for almost a year and she has learned so much. The teachers are loving and so helpful. The owner, Tiffany, is fantastic and really takes time to get to know the kids. The extra events (ex: Christmas party, Valentines Day party) are always well coordinated and fun. I highly recommend classes for anyone who wants their kids to have additional socialization and exercise.

The Little Gym of Frederick creates a wonderful environment where children and families can play and learn and get some great exercise. The owner, Tiffany, constantly goes above and beyond all expectations, creating a welcoming atmosphere that is inclusive to all and serves our diverse community.

I was excited and nervous going to my little gym of Frederick. Never been to child gym the staff was very welcoming and the parents are very friendly TIFFANY the owner is amazing with the kids we took my 10 month old to participate in the birds class during this class they sang songs, played games, had some mat play and walked on the beam(assisted) they also had parashoot play and bubbles and TIFFANY also taught them how to do front and back rolls my daughter not in daycare so I thought it would be great for her to socialize with kids I think she liked it I do think its a little pricey $80 for the month but I guess you get what you pay for. Other than that I had a great time at my little gym of Frederick first class is free it definitely worth checking out

My kids love going to the Little Gym of Frederick! The instructors are very nice and the facilities have recently been upgraded. They offer a variety of classes and extracurricular programs that keep kids active and engaged. Often the hardest part of going to the Little Gym is getting my kids to leave at the end. I would highly recommend it!

We started at the Little Gym after attending an open house and meeting Mr. George. My whole family fell in love with him! It was supposed to be 1 weekend class for just a few months. Now, 2 years later, my kids attend several classes a week and Ive met some wonderful moms and dads. Its our home away from home!

When looking for a gym for my almost 3 year old twins I heard that this Little Gym had just been taken over by new owners and thought it was worth giving it a try. Tiffany and her staff have exceeded my expectations in every way!One of my twins started out a clingy and shy little one and once we joined the gym that lasted ONE class. That is because of the amazing teachers they have, Mr. Cody and Mr. George are both energetic, patient and clearly understand how to work with young children.Tiffany has been awesome to deal with, so much so that in less than 2 months she has become a close friend. My boys LOVE going to gymnastics. I also have two older daughters who expressed they had zero interest in gymnastics and now are begging me to sign them up after they tried out a class.They have also redone the lobby and the gym. I didnt see it before the renovations but it is clean, bright and safe and the lobby is awesome for both the kids and the adults. I would highly recommend.

My Son has been going here for about 3 weeks now and both him and I are loving it. The owner is amazing, very helpful and letting me know what is best for my son and went above and beyond to help set up his birthday party at the end of this month. Also all the staff is great and loving. I am very impressed with this and so happy I decided to get him signed up

Went online and signed up for the trial class to see if my kids would like it, have never been to a little gym before. Walked in and nobody is at the front desk. I signed in where it says to sign in. There are about 2 other families in the lobby area. There is a man that opened the door and the two families went in, KEEP IN MIND I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A LITTLE GYM. I have no idea if Im supposed to go in, if I have to sign something first. Nobody ever came out to talk to me. I waited in the lobby for 30 minutes while my kids played because I felt bad leaving since they already saw all the toys. When someone has never been to a place before and they are not sure what to do if great if someone would SPEAK to them so I could figure out what Im supposed to do or where I am supposed to be. Needless to say I would never go back again. Its a shame because what the other children were doing looked like fun and Im sure my kids would have enjoyed it. Ive been to other places like Bella Ballerina and they greet you at the door by name. Its a completely disappointing experience.

First, the instructors at The Little Gym are fantastic. They are great with the kids and are really very enthusiastic. Our issues are with the owners, who charged us for two additional months after we had cancelled our membership. Under normal circumstances this mistake would have been resolved quickly and we would have no complaints. This was not the case, where over the course of the next 6 months I attempted to contact the owner about this issue on multiple occasions (via phone, email, and hand written notes left on the front desk) with a response rarely received. Further, what little information the on-site owner provided me was typically incorrect. For example, the on-site owner told us that our membership and credit card information had been immediately removed from their system after cancellation, and so she was not sure why we were still being charged. Later I found out from the second owner, who manages the sites finances, that in fact this was not the case leading to the multiple charges to the credit card. Despite this explanation, no reimbursement has been received, even after the owners themselves assured us that they would take care of it. After multiple months of this we turned to our last options, contacting the BBB and the franchise itself; with resolution still pending. Its really a shame as the staff are great, but the owners really seemed incompetent at best when it came to handling membership issues, and at worst disingenuous.

My daughter and I absolutely love the little gym. My daugher has so much fun playing with the other childern her age. She is also improving with her developmental and gymnast skills. It is such a fun environment and filled with a loving staff. The new owner Tiffany has made the office shine again and shes simply amazing. Highly recommended.

It is so horrible this place has turned to garbage. My family has gone their for years and my children have loved it. As a parent, I have not. After seeing how the owner treats her employees and he clients, I only returned because the classes and instructors were so good for the kids. The owner has now fired three directors with no reason along with other employees. The owner has not been present in at least two years except to fire people out of no where. The people being fired are the people parents trust and children love. I hope all parents cancel their memberships. I should have done this years ago when my daughter had class in the dark several times due to the owner not paying the electric bill. She is too cheap to pay a bill or pay her employees, yet she will gladly take your money month to month and do things like hold classes in the dark. If you ask me that is not safe! If you try and contact TLG international, they tell you you can only complain to the owner. That obviously does no good in this situation. I hope the owner goes bankrupt and gets a taste of her own medicine. I really wish the corporate offices could do something about how abusive and neglectful this owner is.

Recently the instructor that my grandchildren loved was not only fired but bad- mouthed to the kids which is totally inappropriate! The lack of communication is extremely frustrating, the bookkeeping is inadequate and the push to purchase outfits is apparent. The new owners attitude when called out is rude and sarcastic. Had such high hopes a year ago.

Review №26

Absolutely horrendous although the staff is very pleasant the Management is Atrocious it took an act of GOD to get a refund from Susan the supposed manager after she informed my wife that due to the billing inconsistencies and us being double charged we would not be charged for this month. To our surprise our account is charged now normally it would be seeming easy to get a refund but no not with this place and the 13minute conversation with the manager/owner who instead of trying to help was more evasive and elusive and not wanting to do anything to retain a customer took the phone call to a new level with accusations of threats and reluctance to return the charges that were fraudulently made, including spending several minutes being butt hurt about not being the one who bills and its the system .I mean seriously 13minutes of hostility from this person about a erroneous charge that could have been resolved with a good case of customer service instead we got hostility, elusiveness and reluctance to resolve a issue .Now the rest of the staff awesome the facility awesome MGMT atrocious

This place is ridiculous, they fire the best employees for no reason at all, except they cant afford to pay them. They are verbally abusive to their staff. We were only going because my son loves Mrs. Jenn so much, and they wrongfully fired her! Ive spent $500 for his birthday party, only because she was throwing it, and $1500 in plane tickets and hotels fit family to come to my sons first birthday, when I could have easily used that money to go to Florida and taken him to Disney. After this party, we will no longer be attending this gym. The owners should be ashamed of themselves, and the new employees are young kids who sit on their phones all day, are rude, and dont even try to interact with your child. Do not waste your money.

Are we allowed to give 0 stars?? This place is AWFUL!!! Ok, the instructors are really nice, kind and great with kids but SUSAN is a swindler!! I canceled my membership months ago and Im still being charged! Ive left several voicemails (because she never picks up her phone), went in to see in person - nothing. Ill have to get a new card just to get her to stop charging me. SUSAN IS A CROOK!!!! She will do anything to not refund your money. Wont call back, promise you itll be refunded soon, etc. But in reality, will keep charging you. At this point, Im going to BBB to file a report, then the police as this is pure theft. Let me repeat - SUSAN IS A CROOK!!!! SHE WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY MONTH AFTER MONTH even if you ask her to cancel your membership. AVOID GIVING SUSAN YOUR CREDIT CARD!!! Did I mention - SUSAN IS A CROOK???

Stay away from the Frederick location. The owner is a crook that uses the brand name to get in peoples pockets! It took filing theft charges to get my money back!! I also changed my card information to make sure she couldnt dip back into my account. BUYER BEWARE, STAY AWAY!

Little gym of Frederick is the best thing that has happened in my childrens life this year! Being a mother of 4girls theres never a dull moment! I never thought a gym would be so family oriented. They cater to my 6 year old who is a Type 1 diabetic. Personal 1on1 nutretion suggestions. Her teacher even went out and bought our family a nutrition video for us that was extreamly helpful. My daughter always has her meter, a protein snack & a juice box available. The owener Susan is always open arms to hold my 4month old if I have a errand to run or some extra paperwork from home to fill out. The instuctors are very supportive of my 5 yr old who cant seem to stay on task for anything, they always bring her back to the directed task. They cater to each child in the class strengths and weaknees. We go about 4 days a week so its well worth the money. Some parents have even started a potluck night so on nights the children have choosen to stay for 2-3 classes in a row. They now have a very nice well rounded meal after. The little gym is SERIOUS fun for every age, even me!!!!
