    My first visit was at the location in Elk Grove and my little one had a great time running around so I wanted to try out this location. My toddler hasn't had much interaction with kids of his age so this was really fun for him and seeing how engaging he is was also super fun for me. Monkey see monkey do! He was learning so quickly when it came to participating and moving on to the next activity. It was also super cute for the Little Gym to put together a little egg hunt in celebration of Easter.

    Local little kids gym that doubled as a party place. I truly wish I had discovered this place prior to my son turning four. I would've loved to utilize this place. It's about a mile from my house. Has a private parking lot. Offers a lot of classes and is sibling, and age inclusive. Came to a party here last weekend. They have two separate party rooms that you can decorate with plenty of space for kids and parents and food. If you're interested in something gymnastics-like without the pressure to be perfect and have excellent form, this place is worth a shot. They have a lot of physical, interactive fun to offer. Couldn't give five stars because I think for the price they could upgrade some of their equipment and maybe clean just a tad bit better.

    Great little party place, perfect for the toddler to kinder set. Pros: Very structured party for a 3 year old. Set plans for games, use of parachute and bounce pad, with short times for free play in between tasks. Good control of a fairly large, mixed age group of kids. Clean small party room with toddler size setups. Kids don't have to sit on chairs or benches that are too big. Well kept interior that looked clean and fairly new. Cons: Parking lot is tight and shared with mountain Mike's next door (which, incidentally provides the pizza for these parties). Free time play on the equipment was pretty limited, maybe because of the age group the party was planned for.

    Great place for a 5 year old birthday party! We reserved about 2 months in advance and could have done it earlier if we wanted more time options. They have three times lots and we did the 2pm slot which worked out great for us. It's a 2 hour block which comes with 2 staff leading all of the activities and fun. They're super helpful with all ages and super nice. For the lunch you can bring in any meals and drinks (even adult drinks if you want). We brought in our decorations the days before and the host set up all the decorations for us. It looked beautiful. White paper plates, napkins, forks, and even table cloths were provided if needed. The staff helped with passing out the pizza, cutting the cake, and even pack up all the presents. The staff also printed a group photo that they set up and placed in a magnet. Overall my daughter was very happy with her party and we now have a magnet photo to remind us of the memories. I would totally recommend.

    All I have to say is WOW! This place is a true gem for children and parents! I had never been here before, but I was frantically searching for a venue for my daughters third birthday. I came across a little gym on Yelp which led me to their webpage. Their online birthday party information was clear, concise and straightforward, and I easily made my reservation. I was promptly contacted by the little gym via email with details about the event, and what to expect. The staff are truly something special! They went above and beyond to make sure my day went as smoothly as possible. They helped me prepare by allowing early drop off for my items, access to the party room refrigerator, unloading my car, setting up and cleaning up. All of the staff and instructors were incredibly sweet and patient! I feel like it's really hard to come across such a good customer service these days, so I was really just so impressed! There is a Mountain Mike's next door, which is super convenient for birthday party catering. The staff will help you prepare your food and cake as well as with serving. The play part of the birthday was so fun for both parents and children. There were two instructors that were leading the children with different activities and games. My kids had a blast and it was really just such a smooth, great time! I highly recommend this place, and again, I am so impressed by the quality of service provided by the staff. ps, the gym is incredibly clean!

    hosted my daughter's 3rd birthday party and it was a great experience. i was looking to potentially reschedule because she came down with a cold a few days before, and they were really flexible and understanding, open to changing the date (without me losing the deposit). the staff and teachers there were really great with the kids and there was a mix of organized activities and free play during the 70 min play time slot. it was just so easy for me because they set everything up and took everything down too. all i had to do was drop off the decorations the day before and bring the food, drinks and cake. highly recommend this for a kids birthday.

    Thank you Lisa for helping me put up these decorations!

    We just had a birthday party tonight and it was so so so fun! Planning a birthday party during a pandemic is not easy, I dreaded it which is why I waited until the last minute to ping around to see if there's any place available for a bday party since my family have all gotten our vaccines. Lisa really made organizing this last minute birthday party super easy, and our instructor Raquel made our whole party feel so special, especially the 2 year old birthday girl. Amazing aspects of this: - Really easy & fair pricing for the party - Planning and arranging was quick and easy - I contacted Lisa via the phone and could text also to share details. - We got the whole place to ourselves! - They really made sure we feel safe, we had masks on while in the gym, and everyone gets temperature checked and washes hands before starting and finishing the gym. (Only small groups allowed right now of 12 or less - call Lisa to learn more) - Gym and facility was very clean - Lisa helped us decorate the wall as a backdrop with the signs and balloons I brought, and she did a much better job than I would. (And I was so touched that she said I (the mom) can go in and have fun too while she helped me decorate - because as moms, we're always the ones behind the scene and making sure everything's ready in a bday party, and for once I can enjoy too - and did my next important task - go in and take lots of photos and videos!) A++++++ - Provided tablecloths and utensils and plates for us - Amazing instructor that made us feel very welcomed and also kids loved her and listened to her - Gave us space to have dinner and also do the cake - Helped us clean up afterwards I would definitely host another party here again, and will try to join in on the weekly classes (unfortunately, the weekend ones are full already). Thank you again to the team at The Little Gym for an amazing birthday party for my daughter. I really appreciate it! We'll be back for more fun soon :D

    I just had my sons 9th birthday here! He also goes to the class. My son and his cousins had such a great time! Mr Carlo and Mr Lorenzo were so good with the kids and made it fun. They made the party stress free for me! They set up and cleaned up for me. Definitely Recommend for both the gym class and birthday party! Thanks little gym you guys rock!!

    I recently had a terrible experience at this facility with my daughter. After reading similar…read morereviews, I realize this was not an isolated incident. My daughter has attended several classes here, and she has complained to me about the constant switching of coaches, which has made her feel uncomfortable. At her age, she wants to have some familiarity with her coach and build a relationship with them. Completely understandable. The coaches appear to be young, with some being attentive while others seem disengaged, even using their phones during her class. This is understandable to some degree with teenage coaches, but the lack of proper management is alarming. Initially, I wasn't sure who the manager was, and when I asked to speak to one, I was told she was unavailable, handling something in the office. I politely waited, but after about 20 minutes, she never came out, so I had to leave. I was given the manager's name, Charisse, but she appeared to be laughing and joking with others while I was waiting, making no effort to address my concerns and come out to speak with me. The worst and most unprofessional part was during my next (and last) visit, when I made a point to speak with the manager, Charisse. She demanded I speak with her outside, for reasons unknown (maybe to avoid being in front of other parents). She was incredibly rude and unprofessional, refusing to listen to the concerns my daughter had the courage to bring up. Instead, she mocked me and belittled my daughter's skillset, claiming that if she didn't like the coaching changes, she should look elsewhere because they didn't need our business. I was shocked by this situation. I strongly urge all parents to reconsider entrusting their children to this poorly managed establishment. As Charisse advised, please look elsewhere - this organization does not need YOUR business. (This happened a while ago but held off on posting a review in hopes of improvement.) I also know of a ton of families who have switched gyms for similar situations. Management needs to address the unprofessionalism of this manager and begin to have a more routine coaching schedule for the gymnasts to feel comfortable.

She's a very timid kid who's normally very clingy to me. Since her first session she felt comfortable and ready to participate and looks forward to going back each week. She's 3.5 for reference. I do have two cons: The first: parking. It's not really within their control and there are options. The small parking lot and garage are very narrow but not a deal breaker. We prefer to park on El Camino (which has its own challenges with how busy the road is). It's close to HWY 92 which is a plus for us. The second: there are huge windows to watch your child dance/participate yet parents grab chairs and pull it up to directly in front of the glass which makes it harder for everyone else to watch. And those same parents that put their chair against the glass (blocking everyone else's view) end up on their phone not even watching. I wish the school would put up a sign and remind parents to sit further away so everyone can watch.

It's a nice way to introduce different styles of dance to younger kiddos before committing to a specific style of dance. They do two recitals a year - one in December and one in June. I will say, this is definitely not a conventional dance class. It's more play, movement with props and toys. But my toddler LOVES it. I plan to keep her in Small Fry until she turns 5. I will then transition her to PCPA, which is the sister program to Small Fry for older kids.

Tim Sheehan, the 5th degree black belt who owns and run the school, is a really down to earth, friendly, fun and amazing guy. The curriculum is pretty intense as it covers kicking, punching, blocking, throwing, falling, chocking, grappling, joint locking, pressure point manipulation, some gymnastic, and most of the basic weapons. Ideally, a student will attend at least 2 days a week, if not more, so that they can slowly build a mastery of the techniques. I highly recommend this style of martial art for any one aged 5 to 70, and of any physical size.

My 5 year old loves going to classes here - it's hands down his favorite after school activity! What I love about the classes is that it's actual instruction. We have done trials at a few other martial arts places and at the 4-5 year old level, it often just degenerates into a glorified gymnastics session or just play time. Sure, it's nice to get the energy out, but I can just as easily do that with a play date. I'm impressed by how much my son has learned in 4 months, all the while having a great time and not even realizing it's instruction. Master Tim has a great way of making class fun for the young kids and I love how he teaches the younger kids' classes himself. He instills good values all the while teaching the physical instruction.

There were times where I woke up and I was so sore I had to skip that day for the week! Great gymnastics area, no weight lifting, all core and power with CARDIO! It's like CrossFit x Insanity except more space, no weights, and a lot of determination. It's worth the money guys, he let's you try his bootcamp for ONE Week for FREE, and if you DO NOT like it, then you do not have to continue going. BUT I guarantee you, you'll like it! On a side note, as a fitness instructor Cleveland has a very chill attitude. He pushes you to succeed, but he wont push you too hard. He knows people have limitations, for example I am a RECENT CANCER PATIENT AND SURVIVOR -- He knows that I can't hang like a normal person and modifies his training program to fit MY needs.

I normally hate group classes, and having to work out in front of other people. But the environment was one of support and positivity! Cleveland's energy is infectious and really makes you want to work harder and better! During the first class he evaluated the group so he could assess our fitness levels, but he did so in a way that didn't single out any one person and make them feel bad. Any time someone would say something negative, he would make us turn it around in a positive way. After every class we applaud ourselves and each other for just leaving the house to improve our health! Cleveland prepared us a Meal Prep Plan so we could stay on track when we're at home. This was perfect for helping me make healthy choices when out shopping. He also goes one step above and helps explain some of the science behind exercise, healthy eating, and the pillars of fitness. I feel like I'm not only working out my body, but I'm also handed the building blocks to improve every aspect of my physical and mental wellbeing. Before attending one of his training sessions I hated running, like refused to run ever. During the first class we had to warm up by...running. I gritted my teeth and started jogging. It hurt and I hated it but he pushed us in an encouraging way. I can now say that I do actually enjoy going for a run on the weekends, and jogging during class. This one change in my personal life is huge, and I owe it entirely to his boot camp! Every class I go home sweaty, and tired, but feeling like I did something great for my body! I can't recommend him enough as a trainer, and if you're wondering if you should take that first step towards a healthy lifestyle- I say go for it!!
