Little Gym has been an amazing experience for my daughter. She has been with two different locations due to our move, over a year total. I have seen the progress that I wanted to see, she has fun, and the workers are SO nice and great with classes. She has been to cheer camps there as well besides her weekly classes. I have zero complaints. Little Gym is awesome!
This is the best worry free place to have a birthday party. We had our sons 2nd birthday party here. The staff was very friendly and not to mention we didnt have to do anything. They unloaded the car, set up decorations in the party room, cleaned up, served the food/ drinks, loaded gifts in the car. The kids had a great time here! I highly recommend this place.
I was extremely excited to take my daughter to The Little Gym! I guess my expectation was something different... it started out with warm ups which was great as a class.. once it was time for the children to do the exercises, I felt completely out of place. My child had no idea what was going on (this being her first class EVER). I guess I expected a little more structure or guidance, it was obvious that all the other children were regulars and we were newbies.. I wish there was an intro class for All newbies. Other than that the teacher was great and friendly, all the staff was very friendly
If you are looking for a true gymnastics class, go somewhere else. My 4 yo spent most of her time waiting in a line to perform a skill only to be pushed out of the way by the more aggressive kids (mostly boys). The teacher was never watching or just didnt care. Most kids just did whatever they wanted. On one occasion, when it was my granddaughters turn to practice the skill on the beam, as she stood up on the beam, her teacher walked away to talk to someone else. My granddaughter did what she was supposed to do, dismounted and got back in line. No one noticed. She was so excited when she mastered her cartwheel and when we asked to show one of the teachers she didnt even watch her do it and then said oh good job. She is now doing a one-handed cartwheel at her new facility. So happy we left.No one has reached out to me about withdrawing. You have my phone number. Call me anytime to discuss this.
I have been so excited to try the Little Gym! I have friends in other places that take their children, and have nothing but great things to say. I decided to take my child to the intro class, with every intention of signing her up afterwards. However, I was sooooo disappointed when I left there, that I did not sign her up, nor will I. The concept of the Little Gym is great! I love what they do. However, the instructor was very disappointing. Her name was Rae. All she did was sit there with this one mom and talk to her the entire time while helping her child. This was our first time to the Little Gym, and she did not once come up to us or acknowledge us. When it was time for the kids to go explore and do whatever they wanted. I would have thought that Rae would have told us what to do or checked in on us...nope! She just kept talking to the same mom and baby. After the class, I reached out to one of my friends, who no longer lives here, that used to take her daughter to the Little Gym. I told her about our experience and she said, “oh, you must have had Rae. She did that all the time in our class too. She always has a favorite, and unless you are her favorite then you don’t get any attention. I was not the only mom that felt that way either.” Y’all, it’s $90/month to go to this place, and to feel ignored is just totally unacceptable! I looked into going at a different time with a different teacher, but unfortunately, Rae teaches all the classes that work with our schedule. If multiple moms feel this way, I just don’t understand why Rae is still there. Shows that they really just don’t care.
The coaches energy and high intensity workout is the BEST!!
Great place for young childrens party. They keep the kids entertained the entire party time.
The Little Gym in Mansfield has been a wonderful experience for both my kids. It’s a great way to bond with them as they explore and develop! Ms. Rae is our favorite. She loves on my kids like family.
Love this place for everything they do! We have witnessed both the classes for the babies and for the toddlers! The teachers are great and always show great interest in our children! Perfect place to start off gymnastics and dance!
We had our daughters third birthday here and it was amazing! I showed up with decorations the day before and they had it decorated when we got there. They also brought all the food and drinks from my car to set up the party room. They cut and served the cake to our guests. We seriously did not have to do a thing! They had activities preplanned that matched our theme for the kids, along with some free play time in the gym. The kids had a blast and we could sit back and relax as well. I highly recommend having a birthday party here!
To start off positive... We started about 4 or 5 wks ago. It’s a great prep class for gymnastics and learning the equipment they will use. The interaction my little one has with her peers has been wonderful too. The staff are always positive and nice.My concern/ complaint is the main instructor spends the majority of the time with one particular mom. I wasn’t concerned by her partiality of this one parent compared to the rest of us in the group until it noticeably progressed each time. During class time (that all of us as parents pay for) they seem to utilize the majority of the time privately speaking with one another and even exchanging numbers at the last class. Each class we attended next seemed to have more free time than the last and more time for them to converse. I noticed less and less time is being invested into the children almost to the point I am ready to find another location.Unfortunately I am not the only parent who feels this way...
Have been taking my daughter here since she’s been one and is about to turn two. Absolutely love being able to bond with her while she has so much fun in class but above all I love their holiday activities and parties as well as occasional events, they are always well organized and fun for the kids I really enjoy how happy I see my daughter when she goes to class. Love the staff and location! So glad I found it
If I could give zero stars I would. I called up this past week and spoke to a girl named Ray. I was inquiring about the cost of the membership. Once I got the information I talked it over with my spouse who noticed that we could try a class out for free to even see how my 15 month old liked it. So we signed up. Well this morning my son was supposed to attend the free class and he was sick so I called to see if we can come next week. Ray answered the phone again and told me that we could and that they would just collect the annual fee and monthly fee next week. I was confused as we wanted to try it out before we committed and when I asked “what if my son doesn’t end up liking it” she then told me that it’s expected to sign up once we try it for free. This is crazy! I told her that if that was “expected” then they can cancel our spot because we didn’t want to commit to something we didn’t even know if my son would like. She told me fine and hung up.To offer a trial and then have expectations of us paying you that day is crazy to me. Poor customer service. Definitely leaves a bad taste in my mouth about this place.
The Little Gym is a second home to our family. My daughter has attended since she was 6 months old and my son has attended since he was 10 months old. My daughter tells everyone its her favorite place to go. They are clearly knowledgeable about what they do. It is evident that they have an intense training program. All of their instructors and staff members treat my children as their own. They hug and love on my children and make them feel truly special all while having fun and wearing them out! They are the most professional people Ive ever dealt with and are all about customer service. Little Gym is worth every penny! I recommend it to everyone I know with children. Shelly and her staff are simply the best around! We are members for life.
Me & my son love it here! Kind and loving environment.
The staff is amazing! They work to so hard to create a fun learning environment. Our 14 month loves to climb but I do not think this would have been possible without the Little Gym Staff. The programs are great and truly do teach kids new skills. It also develops their social skills and boosts their confidence and cognitive abilities.
Weve been attending for almost half a year and my 3 year old really has grown in her confidence and abilities to play with others and has learned so much being in gymnastics. Worth every dollar! And the instructors are professional, sweet and genuinely care for the kids!
We absolutely love The Little Gym. The Teachers are so amazing, energetic, wonderful, and very kind. My little girl Nina loves it at the little gym so much and she does so well with the help from Ms.Shara and Ms.Rae. She loves Ms.Rae and tells me all the time,Mommy I cant wait to go to gymnastics and see my teachers and Ms.Rae and tell her that I missed her. This is the best Little Gym for your little ones. Nina learns so much and catches on quick here at the Little Gym. The Teachers are so great with all children including my little one. Theres no other words to explain other than This Place is Amazing and we love it so much.
My husband and I love going to the little gym with out infant. The staff is amazing! And we always have such a good time. Love having a safe place for baby to roam, socialize and learn... I wish there was a BIG gym just like it for me!
The 3 ladies who hosted our party did an Amazing job. They were kind, polite, and made us all feel welcome. They were considerate of my disability in their planning. I couldnt have picked a better place to have Syriahs 3rd birthday party. I was highly pleased! Will refer this location to all of my friends! Thank you for everything!
I like how active and engaging the programs are, they are spot on for encouraging appropriate coordination and development at each stage. The teachers are all super enthusiastic, positive and fun. We look forward to our weekly class at the Little Gym!
My grand daughter Riley enjoys going to her class and practice times. Just moving into town Im blessed with finding a great place and fun environment for Riley. The instructor Miss Rae is just amazing. What a great teacher.
The Little Gym of Arlington/Mansfield has a friendly staff. My toddler loves going to class and is always excited to be there.
I loved that the activities were centered around my child. The staff also made everything a breeze. I literally just showed up and took pics and enjoyed the time with my baby and her guests. Ms. Cha Cha made sure everything was exactly what I wanted and how I wanted. I’ll definitely recommend The Little Gym to everybody i talk to. I am seriously considering getting a membership for my daughter!
We love the structure for kids to learn how to act in a group, listen to and follow instructions, and interact with each other. But there are also unstructured times built in for play/application/etc. that are just as important!
My daughter loves her class and her teacher. We do the parent child classes and they are great!
Our experiences with The Little Gym have been absolutely INCREDIBLE. In terms of promoting my childs development and happiness, I give The Little Gym an A+++.My daughter is currently 16 months but has attended The Little Gym since 9 months. Each week the instructors provide balanced classes targeting her social, emotional, communication (verbal and sign language), and motor skills. Her confidence has soared and she has shown growth in her independence. It has been great fun watching her reach developmental milestones right in front of my eyes during class! She went from crawling and being a passive observer, to being fully-engaged, participating in the routines of class and trying new skills! She is now running, climbing, jumping, talking up a storm, and best of all laughing & having the time of her life (so fun to watch!).As a parent, it is really difficult to always feel confident in the choices that we make for our children. My strategy has been to surround my child with positive people and provide her with as many fun experiences as I possibly can. The Little Gym really helps me reach both of these goals...plus - I have made some very special mommy friends as well!The staff at The Little Gym - Arlington are my daughters cheerleaders. I can honestly say they show so much enthusiasm and pride when my daughter tries something new that it is difficult to tell who is having more fun, my daughter or the staff.My Background:- School Psychologist who worked in the Early Childhood Development/Special Education field.- Mom of a premature infant with IUGR, thriving at 16 months!
My daughter loved coming here in the beginning when the class size was a little smaller and the instructor was able to manage her class. And the instructor Cha Cha is talented and amazing with the kids! This was a class of three to five year olds and my daughter was in the three year old age group. The attention span at this level is already incredibly small. But with a small group she did great and didn’t get lost in the group. This was February to June, once her class “graduated” I noticed the class sizes went from about 5-10 to 10-12 so much so that the instructor needed two assistants to help divide the groups and try to manage the bunch and there was no space for parents to sit and watch their kids practice. But even with the extra help In the gym, it was just too many little kids all at once trying to keep them focused, together and practicing. My daughter got lost in the crowd and just ended up doing her own thing. She started to lose interest in the class till she said made it clear she didn’t want to go back.It was great when the classes were smaller, I’m hoping they go back to smaller classes.
I LOVE the staff and all the curriculum. It gives my kiddos a chance to use other parts of their brain and helps them become good citizens while allowing them to get rid of some energy. The only complaint is there isnt enough parking;-)
We had the most amazing,fun time at the Little Gym! The staff tailored the activities to our group ranging in age from 2 to 13, and the grown ups were able to participate too. They even packed up the gifts and remaining cake and helped my husband take them out to the car! The kids didnt want to leave!
Whats not to like?! The teachers are awesome and the structure is good. I especially like the honest feedback Ms. ChaCha. Ms. Erin, and Ms. Kristy have provided. I know my daughter isnt perfect and they are a great balance for me to being worried about if shes not doing well vs. remembering shes 4yrs old. They have all also given us some great ideas on things to work on.
We LOVE all our teachers at the Little Gym. My wife started taking our son at 14 months, he wasnt walking yet, and we give huge credit to Miss Shelly in the little birds class for giving us the tools to help our boy explore and grow in confidence, and he was doing rolls, flips, and walking before we knew it! He is now 22 months and can do the sign for Little Gym and he loves going and seeing his friends and Miss Shara (sorry if I spelled her name wrong!). With baby boy number 2 on the way we look forward to getting him into a class later on.
We love this place! Always a great time. Friendly staff, clean, SAFE for little ones.
Have loved this place since the first day. Staff and teachers are fantastic!
Private and very personal. Staff was very warm and patient. They made me feel like they were apart of our family. I really wanted to get the membership, and was sad to hear this location has moved to Mansfield, which is a good distance from me. None the less 5-stars for a great team!
Great place for the kids to burn off a little energy by staying active and creating new friendships as well. Ms. Elle is AWESOME, Grace just loves her.
I am so glad I enrolled my girls. The teachers here are so patient with kids. My little one has gained so much confidence in herself she is not shy to do anything in front of anyone in fear of disappointing. She comes up to me and says Mom did you see that? Instead of a mom turn around or you can go to the store and come back when I am done. She used to cry over everything and she is very sensitive. Ms. Chacha told my daughter she is tough and strong. Well this weekend she fell on a whole bunch of spikes and said Im not going to cry Ms. Chacha said I was very tough and strong. I was like what??? Looking forward into all this changes. This is definitely helping a lot. Ms. Erin is also a great teacher, all of them are. I encourage parents to enroll their kids and see the difference for themselves. You will not see it in one day or two. We as parents have to keep up at home and work as the teachers. This is not only helping my kids but me as well.
This experience was fun not only for the children but for the adults at the party. Friendly and accommodating staff made this worthwhile. Loved it!
Our family loves The Little Gym. Great instruction and activities!
The moment we walked into little gym we fell in love. The employees are fantastic! Love the program and everyone that works there.
Its amazing to watch the kids grow and learn how to follow instructions. So many kids are too scared to follow and yet the staff is so patient with them. I like how they explain the class and/or process to the parents.
My daughter absolutely love it! The stuff is wonderful! Special thank you to Ms Amanda!
Great place to throw a birthday party! They do EVERYTHING for you
Great staff! Great facility! We love everything about The Little Gym!
Greatest experience ever. The classes and teachers have exceeded my expectations.
It was super easy- well planned and the staff was awesome with the kids!
Ms Shelly is just really great and I love the smaller class sizes
Very organized, Great Space, Fun, Very helpful and energetic staff!
Great place!
