The Little Gym

The Little Gym offers gymnastics, tumbling, balancing, climbing, movement-based learning, and imaginative play for children in a kid’s gymnastics gym setting. The program describes its gyms as safe spaces for children and parents to explore gymnastics and more.

• Ages: 4 months–12 years old

The Little Gym states that it is the place where children ages 4 months to 12 years learn and grow through movement-based learning and imaginative play, and that children build confidence and skills needed at each stage of childhood while parents are part of a supportive and positive community. The program follows a Three-Dimensional Learning philosophy called Get Moving, Brain Boost, and Citizen Kid, and notes a non-competitive spirit in its classes with programs that support physical, social, and emotional growth. The Little Gym also offers birthday parties, camps, and Parent Survival Night, along with membership packages that include rewards and a mobile app to discover, book, and track classes, camps, and parties, and to receive milestone updates and class photos.

The Little Gym founder Robin Wes opened the first The Little Gym in 1976 in Bellevue, Washington, and the organization notes that this year marks 50 years since it first opened its doors. The Little Gym describes itself as a global community of families, instructors, and local business owners. Parent testimonials describe it as a “great gymnastics learning place for younger kids,” and mention trial and regular classes where 2-year-old children engaged with instructors, used the equipment, and were encouraged and involved without pressure.
