The classes at this Little Gym on Telegraph Road are very well organized. I took my son for an introductory class and he simply loved it and we had a hard time getting him out of there. The instructor who was also the director of the center was really good and he engaged the kids really well in fun activities. However I am disappointed with the way they organized my sons second birthday. I felt the whole event was disorganized. 1. Firstly the lady inside the gym room with the kids was not engaging them enough into group activities like they do in the class. She didnt seem as enthusiastic as the person who took the introductory class. However I must admit that kids still ended up having fun doing their own thing. 2. I was expecting to have the cake on a table where the birthday boy and the parent could stand and cut the cake first before everyone sat down to eat. May be this is something we should have communicated they do. I was surprised by their plan to cut the cake for the kid and serve it to the kids. How can you not have a birthday boy blow his candle and cut the cake with the parents! That was really disappointing. I understand you keep the knife away from kids but parents are there to help and that is why you have a cake table normally where its cut away from where kids eat. It is a learning for us to make sure to tell the gym about how we want the sequence of events to happen in the party room. 3. The food was kept in different locations with cookies and pizza in one corner and rest of the stuff in another corner. They could have got a bigger table or made some arrangements to get all food in one location. 4. Cutlery was brought by us but they forgot to put it out with the food until we remembered and told them. 5. They ran out of lemon juice early in the party and did not bother to refill it until we told them too. 6. There were two people in the party room and easily they could have handled serving food and serving cake separately but it didnt work that ways. 7. Last but not the least, they had mentioned birthday boy will get a bday Tee or some sort of a goody bag from the gym, which they forgot and I had to ask for it in the end and finally get one of the guys there to pull out a Tee for my son. Something the gym should have given to the birthday boy without us reminding. Overall feedback - Excellent for class but fair for parties.

I just returned from the one thing I usually hate. a Birthdayparty of a child which is not my own. I come from a different celebratory culture and so I just have to deal with it. This place was REALLY far out there as we had to come all teh way from Arlington, but I left with their flyer for booking Bday parties in my purse. From the moment we arrived the staff was awesome: attentive Child foccused but not avoiding the accompanying adult. The gym itself has a large window pane and there is a row of chair (adult sized) so you can watch your kid having the most fun ever. the hour or so activities in the Gym, where the kids were managed lovely and lovingly by two dedicated young ladies was never boring, quite challenging and definitely a blast. They held the kids attention the entire time. then moving over to teh party room where a table was set up with attention to detail and all the presents displayed on one huge table. Then - again - the awesome staff, served the children at the table. and when the kids all had tehir cake the staff asked around if any of teh parents would like some. They had also offered us Water while we were looking at our kids having fun. Everything was smoothly run. everybody was paying attention ..When I inquied the guy said: we do everything: the parents are responsible for two thiings only Cake and kids, we even send out invitation and take care of the paperware... so..while it isnt cheap, this may make me reconsider never having my kids have a party outside the home...

I appreciate how invested the instructors are in each child doing whats best for him or her each week. I like that the children are not forced to try anything theyre not ready for. My daughter and I both love the music (she asks for me to sing the songs at home!). I also like how the equipment is set up differently each week so the children are challenged with new things but also given familiar surroundings. Im not sure my daughter will be a serious gymnast, but she has a lot of fun and always looks forward to going to The Little Gym. Thats a 10/10 for an almost-3-year-old!

We started coming to The Little Gym in June 2015. I wanted to try it out after we had done a swim class that seemed too overwhelming for our little one. He always was looking around and more interested in the things around him. At The Little Gym he is able to not only do things he wants, on his terms, but he is also getting that structure he needs too. We love coming every week. His face lights up every time we get to class. I dont see us ending our membership anytime soon.

Olivia loves coming to The Little Gym! The staff is very friendly and engaging, and they always have fun activities for the children. There is a good balance between structured learning activities and free exploration. Olivia is developing her motor skills, confidence and social skills, and my husband and I enjoy participating in the fun as our baby learns and grows.

Enjoyable facility for smaller children to let off steam in a safe, cheerful play space. Memberships are expensive, but you get excellent staff for the price. You can rent their space and services for birthday parties as well, a very popular option for ages 4-5.

Perfect place to have a party and not have to worry about anything but enjoying your childs special day! The staff were beyond accommodating which allowed us to focus on our daughter and her guests. Very impressed with The Little Gym and their kind staff!

Everything was taken care of for us. There were plenty of staff on hand to entertain the kids and get them all involved in the party. Great job by the little gym in making it a great party for our daughter and all of her friends.

Rob and his team were kind, thoughtful, and flexible in developing the party real-time for the kids. They listened and were professional, but fun and engaging. The kids loved them!

The Little Gym provides structured play, and yet also allows for kids to run free and be independent. The various activities are great and keep the kids moving and interested.

For daughters 6th birthday party, staff was incredibly attentive and kept age-appropriate activities moving along. Highly recommend for an extremely low-stress, fun party.
