If I could give a zero I would!!!!!! DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!! Their staff has accessibility to your information and WILL use it! You give them your name, your spouses name, both of your phone numbers, an emergency contact number, and also your card information whatever that maybe. I was fortunate enough to not have my credit card be used but I sure did get our other information stolen!! DO NOT USE THEM!!!! The owners of this place are AMAZING! Hopefully after COVID-19 they removed and/or fired the persons responsible for this message!

Rob is hands down the best part of Little Gym. Because we are military, weve been apart of several Gyms, and we always come back to this one when we can. His energy, spirit and overall love of what he does is contagious. The front desk has always been nice as well. I always leave with a smile on my face.

Weve been taking our just-turned-3 year old granddaughter to the Little Gym for the past 4 months and I really believe that this is the best gift we have ever given her. Our granddaughter simply cant get enough when shes there, doesnt want to leave and has the time of her life every week. The program is focused on developing children in many ways, but to them, its all fun. There are numerous new things to do each week, music, laughter, challenges, learning to share and be part of a group along with is lots of love and sensitivity to the needs of each child and gentle encouragement. Many of the children in these classes have been coming here since they were babies, but she was able to blend right in within a few weeks. At the end of each class, the instructor, for her, mostly Mr. Rob, goes over the various activities the children have completed and makes suggestions for things they can work on during the week.

There was a bit of a location mix up when I signed up for classes. I gave my credit card over the phone and thought I was all set to begin classes at their Capitol Hill location. Long story short, the woman I spoke with called from Huntley Meadows. I got the runaround when trying to secure a refund, the owner and the owners wife (the woman who made the error) spouted off nonsense about being franchised and were quiet rude about it. I never received an apology and they couldnt care less that the onus of this error was on them. I only got a partial refund because they had to cover admin fees on their end. It left a bad taste in my mouth.

We love our weekend class! Both Mr. Rob and Mr. Michael are so positive, knowledgeable, and really do well with our scaredy cat toddler. The structure of the class allows the children to explore and be children without forcing them to do things they’d rather not do. Fun for our toddler and us as parents.

We are impressed each class by Robs genuine interest in the success of each child as an individual. He is attentive to each student, taking an approach to teaching that encourages group activity as well as individual exploration. The varety and distribution of classes makes it a breeze to work into our busy schedule. The facility is conveniently located and the facility is spotless. We love Little Gym and all that it has brought to our childs life in terms of physical development, personal awareness and social behavior. Thanks!!

My 14 month old daughter has been taking classes here since she was 5 months old. She has a blast every week and I am so happy to be able to help her learn and grow. The facility is great and the staff is fantastic. And many of the other kids have been going since they were babies as well....its been so amazing to watch them all grow up!Fun for everyone and highly recommended.

Love The Little Gym at Huntley Meadows! Mr. Rob is the best. We enjoy the classes. The teachers love the children and are very supportive and interested in helping children. Our child has so much fun there, we love it. Weve been going for a year here now and have all positive things to say. It is fun to watch our child learn and grow at The Little Gym.

I absolutely love TLG. My daughter enjoys going so much. The teachers are amazing. They are very encouraging to my daughter! We’ve gone through two different gyms in other states and I’ve never seen one like this. The teachers are very encouraging and push her to test her limits but not in a way that’s scary for my daughter. They are very perceptive to her body language and have never made her do anything she’s not ready to do. I love the teachers! I can’t say it enough.

Little Gym at Huntley Meadows has been great! Our daughter has been going there for gymnastics this last year and she has loved it. Mr. Rob and Alex have been terrific. We recently had her birthday party there and were thrilled with the event. We did not have to lift a finger from the moment we showed up and they really made it special for her. Thanks to the whole team!

The instructors are awesome here! They make every child feel welcome. Having a toddler I was worried the training would be too disciplined but Mr. Rob always made us and our child feel at home. Classes do not make kids feel pressured at all and our son always had a great time. If you are looking for something fun for the children you cant go wrong with any class here!

We are new members here and decided to have my daughter’s third birthday here. It was exceptional! We had about 14 kids total and about 40 adults and it was a blast. You can choose to have them provide all the paper products, but we had a troll theme so we decided to do our own and our own decorations. The kids get a whole hour in the gym with different activities and they have an inflated bouncer at the end for the kids which was awesome. You get 30 minutes for the food and cake. We decided to not open gifts and do it at home which seemed to be just fine with the adults. We decided to order pizza from Paisanos (which they offer a discount on for parties) and just had two liter sodas for everyone. They helped set up the table, all the decorations, candles on the cake, etc. Only piece of advice I could give it to have big paper plates for the adults and plastic spoons and forks- there were only small plates for the adults and we had pizza. We had ice cream but only forks. Otherwise, they really do everything for you so we can enjoy the party! I had so many parents tell me how impressed they were with the party and all the kids had a blast. It was really worth every penny for us to see how happy our daughter was. Thank you to The Little Gym!!

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!

My daughter lights up when she comes to this place. We started when she was 9 months and the first couple times she cried. She’s now 21 months and can’t wait for me to put her down. Plus we love Mr. Rob. He’s a really good teacher and good with kids!

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.

We held our sons second birthday at TLG of Huntley Meadows and had a great experience! We had about 15 two-year-olds, which is a fun but crazy age group to manage. Mr. Rob helped to create activities but also supported the kids exploring on their own and enjoying the gym. The kids had a lot of fun and we enjoyed pretty much showing up and celebrating. They even gave my son a card and a sweet little book that he loves. We only did cake, but they parter with the local paisanos if we had wanted to do more. We would absolutely recommend the location for parties!

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.

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.

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...
