The Little Gym is a fun place for fostering confidence, enjoyment, and physical activity among children of all ages! By integrating music, exploration, and various skills on a weekly basis, they create an engaging atmosphere where kids can learn and play. The coaching staff is highly skilled in working with kids, with Coach Morgan being our favorite for her energetic and cheerful approach!

Our daughter Juni loves Little Gym and we do as well! Everyone who works at LG is so welcoming and they really make an effort to ensure that everyone is included. Coach Rachel is a gem! She always has such a positive and encouraging attitude. Our daughter is such an explorer and she often deviates from the group. This is never a problem at LG where the emphasis is on having fun while being safe. Coach Rachel, as well as Coaches Andrea and Steve, make the extra effort to encourage students to participate and learn new things. LG isn’t just about physical activity, but is also an opportunity to learn numbers, sign language, and teamwork. I can’t say enough wonderful things about the LG Johnston location.

We love love the little gym!! Our daughter (3) is very shy and has grown so much in not only her confidence but also skills like following directions, gross motor skills and social skills! Shoutout to coach Amanda we love her patience and skills with the chaos teaching three year olds can bring! We attend weekly classes as well as the events like read move and groove. These are so nationally planned and thought out my daughter looks forward to them so much! Could not recommend the little gym more!

Our son looks forward to going to his funny bugs class each week! The Little Gym has amazing staff, such as Coach Morgan, who are kind and supportive to each child. The programming is intentional and creative to support each age group’s development. Highly recommend for others to join!

My 15 month old started going at 11months and has really come out of her shell! She actually did start walking with her friends at the little gym. The song for putting things away and seeing other kids put the balls away help her even putting items away at home. We love coach Amanda during birds class but all the coaches and owners are super sweet and responsive to our questions and texts and always made us feel welcome

I have felt so welcome and comfortable here. We haven’t been going for very long, but I am really happy we gave it a shot. I’m so impressed that the coaches remember the babies’ names! Rachel has been our coach for two of our three sessions so far and I appreciate when she helps me with the moves for my baby when I’m not confident about them.
