One of the best childrens programs in the Boston area! My children have all began their career there in their Little Bundles class ( 6 WEEKS of age!) and now continue to grow as they get older (Whiz Kid-5, MIte-3 and Waddler-16 months). We love how the program grows with your child beginning with the first classes as they give you skills like forward rolls and baby sit-ups (so stinkin cute!) and as they get older, the kids are able to take the skills that they have learned and have applied them in the program. They also work on independent play with the little ones, team work building with the older ones and its all done in a non-competitive atmpsphere where the staff encourage and challenge each child based on their skill and comfort level. There is always an adorable puppet show and the staff make sure that they know each child and parent every class- and the music... the playlists each week are AWESOME! My husband and I always talk about how great the music is to listen to while we are there each week- we enjoy it just as much as the kids do! We have celebrated multiple parties with the gym over the past 5 years (From our kids turning one, to our upcoming daughter turning 4 at the end of this month!) and while the cost is up there, it is totally worth every penny! They make your child feel like #1, they play their favorite games, dances, songs, gymnastic skills and literally dont even make you lift a finger! We have brought our own food and cake but they also have a package that provides all that as well! Weve been to other Boston-area parties and they stand by and do NOTHING with the kids other than occupy dead air for 1.5 hours. My Gym Boston runs marathons around your child and their guests during their special day- and the staff always amazes me by saying they still have one or two parties after ours- where do they find that energy?! We love how the program also has a gentle approach of encouraging our children to try out what they offer each week (the gym set up changes each week- I wish my own gym did that!!) but the staff (because they are seriously so personable!) know the comfort level of our children, when to challenge them and also when to bring them back to my husband or myself if they need a couple of minutes to get refocused. We love the structure of the program. Our children have learned how to sit and wait their turn, how to play fun childhood games (ring around the rosey, redlight/green light, freeze dance) how to make friends and play alongside other children. This didnt happen overnight- it took around a month for our oldest to become acclimated with the program and when it was time to explore vs when it is time to listen. This has been a huge help with transitioning her to preschool and now kindergarten. Looking forward to watching the program grow with our children and in our Boston community! We would recommend this to any new parent or nanny looking to find their way with a newborn, a parent or nanny or grandparent with a toddler looking to get them tired and a family with an elementary school child looking to keep light structure and activity in their childs schedule without overwhelming them too much!

Horrific, unfair business practices: BEWARE of businesses that require that they automatically bill your credit card and then dont give you a copy of the contract until its too late to cancel. Yes, this is what happened with My Gym. Classes are billed every 4 weeks with a minimum of 8 weeks. They require 4 weeks notice to cancel, so essentially, you must cancel before the first 4 weeks are up, otherwise youll be billed for 12 weeks total, and so on. They decided to wait SIX WEEKS after the class I signed on to give me my copy of the contract (which I hurriedly signed with my toddler running around as we were trying to get out the door). After I got it, I read it and tried to cancel the next day but was told I was too late and must pay for another 4 weeks of classes that we werent planning to take. I tried to call my credit card company and found out that the exact day I made a complaint, My Gym had processed the charge for the next set of classes - this was 2 weeks ahead of when it should have been processed. Gee, what a coincidence. They wanted to make sure they got their money because I was making a complaint, so they charged me even though it wasnt time to bill my card. I am sure I am not the only one that got roped into paying for classes that I didnt want. Too bad. My daughter loved the classes here but this is purposeful deception on the part of management.

We started taking our (now 20 month old) daughter here in September 2015 and LOVE it!! Its super clean (we took her to a different gymnastics place last year and it was so dirty so I made sure to look for this right away). We never get bored because they switch up the gym setup and curriculum every week, so its not only refreshing for our daughter but good for the parents. The teachers are AWESOME...so helpful and friendly. Our daughter was super shy about trying the gymnastics for the first few weeks and they were never pushy (they encouraged but didnt push her to do it). Now she seems so much more confident every time she goes and tries more and more every week. the most important thing is that my daughter loves it....All I can say is that alllll week I hear "my gym, my gym???"

My 15 month old daughter attends weekly classes at My Gym in Boston. Every week the class is different and as soon as we arrive at My Gym she is so excited to be able to play on the equipment. The design of the gym is perfect for small children. There are always a lot of activities planned during the class and the instructors are really welcoming and positive.

We have had great experience with mygym until one of the instructors snatched a toy out of my sons hand and yelled at him. It already has been two years but we still remember the incident when the supervisors didnt do anything but only wanted to cover up her continuous mean treatment to some of the kids. Hope they dont have the instructor anymore...
