Our family absolutely loves The Little Gym in Germantown!! We started going four years ago with my oldest (now 4.5) and got to start my youngest this year! Both girls absolutely adore the teachers and the gym! The gym also goes above and beyond keeping the gym sanitized, clean and safe for the kids!

We think the programs are great for our child and we see significant growth in her since she started over a year ago.

The little gym in Germantown has been a life saver. My daughter started when we moved here in April 2019, and LOVED every second of it. The staff is amazing, well trained, and kind hearted. We enjoy going to not only our weekly classes but other events they plan and put together! For our family it has been worth every penny!

We love the pre-k program (WonderKids). Ms. Alison, is great and the kids always learn something new each week. We love the gymnastic programs for 4-5 year olds. Ms. Marwah is fantastic. She knows how to engage kids completely in the various activities being taught. She knows how to encourage them to challenge and believe in themselves. We feel and see our LO has improved in his gymnastic and socialization skills since starting LG. We love them! And highly recommend them!

The Little Gym is the best! Both of my boys have taken classes here and at their other location in Gaithersburg, and both have benefited so much. The teachers are wonderful and class at TLG is one of our favorite parts of the week!

We have been a Little Gym family for almost 2 years. Starting with my older son and adding my daughter when she was old enough for their bugs class. We love little gym! The classes are imaginative and I love they learn the basics of gymnastics, even with the little babies. The staff is amazing and so patient. They are very responsive and flexible with scheduling make ups. My son has enjoyed their camps and Parent night outs. I was sad during the pandemic I would be unable to give my son a birthday, but tried their virtual birthday. It was cute and the teacher did such a great job facilitating to my sons theme. One mom told me her son didnt want to get off the zoom party! Through out this difficult time, they have been creative in continuing to offer classes virtually and safely in person. I love the Little Gym community and talking with other parents of similar aged kids. Its helpful to hear their perspectives and about child development through Kindermusic. I would 100% recommend Little Gym(and specifically Germantown/Gaithersburg locations). Both kids love to see their favorite teachers and run around on the big red mat!

The Little Gym has been a great place for my 3 year old to work on confidence, independence, agility, taking turns and sharing, and to just burn off some energy! He has also had 2 birthday parties there and all of the kids have so much fun. The teachers are very encouraging and one teacher in particular has seen him grow so much since he started over 2 years ago that she really knows how to relate to him and help him work on physical and social skills.

I couldnt be more pleased with my (and my childs) experiences at The Little Gym. The staff is friendly, helpful, and more than competent. The facility is bright and clean. My child is thriving in the program she attends, and looks forward to each new class. Cannot reccomend them highly enough!!

My son was going to the little gym a year ago, the class size was huge for the number of instructors, that there was hardly any individual attention to any of the kids. The kids were just passing through the stations doing the same mistakes over and over. After 3months of paying and he is not learning anything, we just stopped going. May be the baby classes are different, but for the young kids, 5-8 years, there were not enough instructors.

I love The Little Gym, and my twins look forward to coming to class every week. The songs, activities, skill of the week, large space to run around, and socialization with other babies and parents has been great. I hope to continue classes as they get older.

I’ve been bringing both my boys here since they were about 8 months (now 4 & 2 years old) and they absolutely loved this place. Melissa is fantastic and all the other teachers are so loving, you can really tell they love their jobs. My older son now does camp days & he loves this much more than the regular camp that was offered at his school! I would recommend this place to everyone! I saw so much development from both my boys, I attribute that to what the LG teaches them!

Our teacher is a wonderful Christian lady. She truly cares about each kid. I can see her big smile when kids do a good job. I can see her worried eyes when kids are afraid of trying. She doesnt give up on any shy kids. My daughter is nervous to do some work, but she persevere to let her do it. You know what? My daughter did well with her help and love! I count it a blessing to meet our teacher in the little gym of Germantown. Many thanks!

My daughter used to be very shy, extremely cautious and scared of everything when she started the gym 4 months ago. I started going to Little Gym of Germantown because my daughter seemed to feel at ease and seemed to enjoy it at the free trial class. I can see that she has improved in every aspect since we first joined the gym. She loves her teachers, loves going to the gym, and she is starting to try the things she hasnt tried before because she was scared. I also got to know my daughter very well by spending one-on-one time with her. I personally love the warm-up exercises, the teachers, and the fact that music is played throughout the session. Id love to sign my daughter up for the fall classes, but I am very sad that none of the classes are on Wednesdays or Thursdays because those are the only days that I am off work. Improvements to suggest are having more variety of things during explore time such as a trampoline, a slide, or a ball pit (they have these at My Gym and my daughter really liked them). Nevertheless, my daughter and I really enjoyed our time at your gym and I look forward to joining again later!

I love the Little Gym!! I started my son at 6 months and now that hes over a year, I can see what a difference its made! The teachers have helped expand my sons skills as hes growing and he absolutely loves going there! Miss Melissa also helped me out on a pinch for his birthday party... And Im so happy it worked out! The kids had a great time and the leaders in charge of the party kept it moving right along! They set everything up, cleaned everything up, all while leading my sons 1st birthday party for 10 kids of all ages! Thank you Miss Melissa for helping me arrange his party! We had a great time!! I highly recommend the Little Gym of Germantown, not just for birthday parties, but as a weekly activity your children will love! And they get an opportunity to let out some energy while learning!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE The Little Gym of Germantown! My daughter started in the Bugs class when she was just four months old. She’s now three, and still attending classes there and looks forward to going every week! The instructors are so amazing!!! The owner, Melissa, is the absolute best! We consider her family. My daughter recently celebrated her 3rd birthday at TLG of Germantown and it was perfect. The staff always goes above and beyond. We could not be happier with our experience, and I highly recommend TLG of Germantown to everyone I know!

Our son has been going to The Little Gym of Germantown since he was 10 months old. It’s been fun to watch him learn & grow as he tries new things. He’s a high energy kid, so it’s also great to have an outlet for all that energy!

My son loves the little gym! In the beginning he was shy and wouldn’t let go of my hand. Now he runs off to explore on his own with a big smile on his face. His confidence has grown tremendously and we have a great time each week learning something new. The obstacle set up’s are great and change weekly so the kids have something different to explore each time. Miss Allison is great! If your kid isn’t ready to try a new skill she doesn’t push it and I appreciate that. Keep up the good work!

The little gym staff is amazing. We have been coming to gym and music classes since my daughter was about 6 months (she is now 2). The staff is super attentive and takes the time to learn and work with your child’s needs to help them learn, develop and be comfortable. We have had a wonderful experience!

I love that this program provides flips and tumbles. Its what my daughter does around the house. Im just glad that shes somewhere where she looks forward to going on her Saturday afternoons. I love that shes with other little girls her age. Its all fun and excitement when shes at The Little Gym!

I will probably continue to bring my child because I value the physical activity and social environment provided by the little gym. However during our introduction class today, I was unfairly chastised by what I can only assume is the manager multiple other posts mention. We were having a good time, having done the tumbles and participated in every activity so far, during free time we went to play on the seesaw block and I went to take a photo to send to mom about how much fun he was having. At this point she walked in from the desk and said (childs name) why arent you interacting with everyone? Then turned to me and said this isnt like some other places, we expect more parent involvement and hands on in this class!This is the first time in any context Ive ever been accused of not being involved and I believe it was an accusation made with zero observation by someone who had seen us for 20 minutes while she was at a front desk in another room! If she was concerned about our interaction level, she should have talked to the instructor who I believe would have supported that we were actually very involved and had participated in every activity or asked us how our experience was so far. We were making our way around the room exploring which is the goal of the exploration time I believed.We will continue to attend classes since my child thrived in the environment but I will forever feel watched and judged in this context instead of welcomed. If youre debating between two locations, Id say go with the other one.

Instructors are very patient with teaching students, especially ones who are new and have little or no developed skills yet.

My almost two year old son has been taking classes at The Little Gym of Germantown for over a year. The teachers are very warm and friendly. The equipment is in great condition and the gym is always very clean.The classes are small enough for the children to get individual attention. The curriculum for the Bugs, Birds, and Beasts classes has appropriately challenged my son and is really fun for him. Ive tried classes at a couple of other kids gyms in the area and I didnt think the curriculum for those classes were nearly as educational as The Little Gym or taught real and useful gymnastics techniques.

TLG was a favorite for my daughter when she was quite young so we naturally went back for my son! The staff are very understanding of the age groups and are incredibly flexible with their plans. I appreciate the time they take to get to know not only the students but the families as well!

The youngest class (Bugs) was great in helping my child learn to crawl and walk. The instructor was great keeping babies engaged with songs and activities.

My 2 girls who are 3 and 5 love The Little Gym. Ms. Katie and Ms. Melissa are awesome. They know each child by name as well as the parents. They are energetic and enthusiastic! My girls always look forward to their class days and never want to go home! Thanks for helping the whole child develop.

Review №29

We were very disappointed with our experience. It was our first day and my daughter wanted to leave the gym room in the middle of the class. She was afraid of doing some of the exercises as she has never done them before and needed a break. Melissa (who is the owner and was teaching that day) came our and practically demanded that my daughter return to the class. My child became anxious and grabbed onto me, and this lady tried to PULL my daughter from my hands! That was very rude and unexpected, my daughter began to cry. After that we decided that we will never return to this place. I understand that the teachers need to instill a certain level of discipline, but I would expect that if a parent decides that their child is not comfortable and wants to leave, their decision should not be debated by the staff.

This gym is nice, teachers in the gym have passion for what they do as well. However, one small size front desk lady is very rude. The way she talks and holds her eye contact makes me very uncomfortable and have almost cancelled my child enrollment. They send out extra free activity and invite us to the gym, when I get there, she told me I cant participate because my kid have already tried the introduction class. Then why would you send me invitation in the mail.
