The Little Gym of Capitol Hill, DC is described as a kid’s gymnastics gym where children learn and grow through movement-based learning and imaginative play, with safe spaces for children and parents to explore gymnastics and more. The Little Gym uses a proprietary philosophy called Three-Dimensional Learning (Get Moving, Brain Boost, Citizen Kid) and describes its environment as fun with a serious purpose, with an emphasis on a positive, non-competitive spirit. It describes its purpose as nurturing the whole child, one cartwheel at a time, and states that progress feels like play and it is “SERIOUS FUN,” calling itself the springboard to life’s adventures.

The Little Gym first opened its doors in 1976 in Bellevue, Washington, and the year of the about page content marks 50 years since it first opened. The Little Gym has grown into a global community of families, instructors, and local business owners. The program offers a mobile app to discover, book, and track classes, camps, and parties, get milestone updates, class photos, and celebrate progress, and describes its birthday parties as “simply AWESOME.”

Parent feedback includes comments that a child “had a great time” at a birthday party and that “the gals who ran the party did a great job with the kids,” that two children “have gone to Little Gym since our oldest was 3” and “always have a great time” in classes and day off camps, and a “HUGE thank you” to specific staff members “for making my daughters experience truly exceptional.”
