Mr. Jeremy runs such a brilliant program for kids of all ages. Our son just turned 14 months old &…read morewe signed him up to My Gym to cultivate more social skills & practice gross motor skills. We were hopeful because we'd heard great things about the franchise, but we went in not really knowing what to expect. And wow, we were totally blown away with how WONDERFUL everyone is with the kids (especially Mr. Jeremy), how clean everything is, the large amount of space, the fun activities they come up with constantly, the way they change the gym equipment around every week to keep things fresh, the sweet kids & parents that are there every week, ample parking, etc. I could go on & on about how much we love the place. It's a safe, comfortable, clean, temperature-controlled space where our son to play, socialize, & learn. Also the classes are structured so that it's "1 parent with 1 child" on the gym floor & activities are led by an instructor the whole time (with pockets carved out for free play). So we're not just watching from the sidelines as our son plays & learns. We're right there with him. And we're all learning. We've even learned fun things that we can do at home.
Also the HUGELY important & invaluable aspect of the My Gym experience for us is that every time we come to class, our son gets to play with some of the same kids he has seen many other times. And he's happy to see these familiar faces: both kids & parents. I'm happy to see familiar faces, too. It's like an epic group play date, but elevated with the maximum level of fun, safety, & variety. Not to mention, going to My Gym is so much easier than organizing individual play dates. We couldn't have asked for more. It's already far beyond anything we imagined it could be. We wish we would've joined the gym sooner.
We signed up for a trial week of classes for $29, wherein, we were allowed to attend classes, every day, if we wanted. And we did try out a class nearly every day of the week. We were able to narrow down the time slots that worked best with our son's nap schedule & other activities. When we converted the trial week into an official enrollment, we got $50 off of the first month using "FALL50" promo code. I believe that promo is also still running. We also got a free My Gym shirt for our son. So cute!
For those who are new to a program like this, every membership comes with one session per week, with the same assigned "home" class, every week (which can be easily rescheduled online, as needed). For a small additional fee, we added the "Unlimited" package, which has allowed us to sign up for as many classes as we want. Adding the Unlimited package has been awesome because it has given us so much flexibility. I take our son to My Gym at the beginning of the week (morning) & my husband takes him toward the end of the week (evening).
Even though our home is practically an indoor playground, in & of itself, it's still not the same as My Gym because My Gym provides so much more than just the equipment. I highly recommend My Gym to anyone with a Little, who wants to enrich their children's lives with fun, wholesome, social, physical, interactive learning. It offers a gold mine of value in early childhood development.
