We would love to take this time out to thank Rob & the Little Gym Team for an incredible Birthday party for our daughter, she turned 1! The event was very stylish, and rewarding for the kids! All the children were involved in the gymnastics process. It was very engaging growing their physical, Cognitive and social development. Even the littlest ones were happy to get involved and had fun with their parents. Our birthday girl even in her beautiful party dress flipped and rolled and jumped all over the place! The staff was amazing, they served all of our guest, they helped me set up my amazing decorations. They were truly flexible with me and I am truly blessed. I appreciate the team at the little gym more than they know! Good customer services and great experience is what I always look for when it comes to my little ones I just want them happy and you guys made that happen so I am HAPPY!!!

This Little Gym is such a GEM!! We have been coming here since our son was 12 months, he is now 3 years old and absolutely loves this place - can’t wait for his baby brother to join the fun too!! Rob the manager is just incredible with kids and he sets up a lot of awesome challenges and age appropriate activities for them. The rest of the crew is also fantastic and truly committed to the well being of the kids and their families - we particularly enjoyed our interactions with Miss Karen and Michael :) If you are looking for a safe, clean and fun place for your kids to play, build confidence and make friends - search no further, this is the place for you!!

Thank you so much for having Corinne join the class last night. She had a great time and we are just trying to work out our schedule to see which class time works best. Your staff is amazing and I really appreciated how engaged all of the children were and how caring all of your staff members are. In particular, I wanted to thank you all for your patience and kindness with Corey who is on the spectrum and struggles sometimes with social interaction. I wanted to raise one concern about a parent who had confronted me about Corey and stated that he grabbed her child “by the neck” when she took a lego piece. She had one boy who was taking part in the class and another younger child with her. I immediately apologized to her and went to talk to Corey and even brought Corey out to apologize. I am sure other parents also witnessed this incident. The woman did not even acknowledge this and kept glaring at me and my family (including my disabled mother) throughout the rest of the session. Strangely enough, she only approached me directly about the problem rather than speaking to your staff member who was monitoring the play area. Corey has always been raised under constant supervision and monitoring by myself, my mother, and my husband. The three of us have observed him in social settings numerous times and while he does not usually interact with other children, he has never been rough with others. Still, I gave the parent the benefit of the doubt and even came out to apologize to her and her child after speaking to Corey. She spoke about Corey as if he was a violent animal instead of a child, and she continued to glare at my family even after I had apologized profusely and even disciplined Corey about the supposed incident (which none of my family members or your staff personally witnessed). While I acknowledge that Corey struggles with social interaction, I do not personally believe that he was rough with the other child. I understand that the behavior of one parent is not the fault of your staff, but I would like to avoid choosing the same class time as this person out of fear for Corey’s safety. I am disappointed that some have so little compassion and understanding for children who are different, but this is something we have dealt with before as parents of an autistic child. We all had so much fun at the try out session despite this experience, and this does not in any way effect my opinion of your company. Your staff members were all wonderful and incredibly kind to everyone, and I really appreciated MacKenzie who was trying hard to have Corey participate in the class. We are planning to enroll Corinne in the class and we will have an answer for you by the end of this week when we work out our schedule. Thank you again to you and your wonderful staff, and hope you all have a great weekend! Best.
