The Little Gym of Abington

I first brought my daughter to The Little Gym on her first birthday. We have been taking her ever since and we just celebrated her third birthday with a Little Gym Awesome Bash! She has really grown there and the whole family enjoys parent/​child classes, camp days and now watching her take classes by herself. Our 6 month old will be starting classes soon. Catie and the rest of the staff are wonderful and we are very pleased with our membership.

Little Gym of Abington is amazing! My 2.5 year old son takes a gym class on Sundays and it’s perfect. Mr. Ben is his teacher and he’s amazing with the kids. Great mix of free play and also structured skills and each week there is a relevant theme. My son «practices» when he’s not there and really utilizes the skills. Mostly he just burns off a lot of excess energy and has a great time. So grateful for the weekend scheduling as well. I’d recommend them to everyone!

I now have my older son in a combination Beasts/​Super Beasts class with Mr. Ben one evening a week, and my younger son (16 months) in the Birds class with Miss Alexa on Saturday mornings. I love the way Mr. Ben adds personal touches to the classes. My older son is not very athletically inclined and has trouble with a lot of the gymnastics, but Mr. Ben makes it fun for him and finds ways for him to try things he normally would not want to. Taking both kids to the Little Gym was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made as a parent. Similarly, Miss Alexa has been so influential in my younger son’s development! I took him in when he was not even cruising yet, and after one class, he started cruising and was using the skills he learned from class. She really took the time to work with him and teach me some tricks into getting him to transition from baby to toddler. Now he runs around the gym and climbs on everything and absolutely loves it all. My sons are very different from one another; one is easygoing and athletic and the other is more shy, but both get so much out of their classes. My older son asks me every day if that day will be his class and when I get to tell him «yes», the smile that lights up his face is priceless.
I have been to a few birthday parties at the Little Gym (one was for my older son’s 2^nd birthday) and now that I have planned parties elsewhere, I can safely say that the Little Gym is one of the best possible places to have your child’s birthday party. It’s organized, they take care of everything for you, the teachers are fun, and the kids will love every minute.
I wish that my kids could attend the practice sessions, but my kids cannot go unless the sessions are on weeknights or weekends. Perhaps there will be a weekend or weeknight practice session scheduled in the future.

We have been going to this location for six years. My sons have been to karate classes, parties and summer camp here. They have had at least 4 parties of their own here. This location is convenient, friendly and easily handles my son’s nut allergy. The parties are wonderful — 1.5 hours for small kids is perfect and no cleanup at home! The summer camp was great this year– bought a flex class 10 pack which I used for 5 full days of camp (9am– 4pm). My son loved it.

The Little Gym Staff and Parent/​Caretaker Community has welcomed us with open arms. It’s great to talk with like-​minded professionals and families, and celebrate your child’s achievements and milestones. The teaching staff are always available and willing to give specific feedback to each family. It takes a village to raise a child, and you can feel that support as soon as you walk in the door at the Little Gym of Abington.

This is a review for a party I attended here. I think this is a more personalized option to the regular Chuck E Cheese birthday party, since you get the privacy of the whole room and don’t have to have your child dive into a pit of dirty balls.
Pros:
1. Gym staff provides guidance and supervision for some fo the kids to do some cool tricks
2. Kids ages 2 — 7 will LOVE this place
3. Safety is key
4. They have a parking lot for guests
5. Waiting room for parents who don’t want to participate
Cons:
1. Time spent playing is super short (like 1 hr)
2. Staff in the party area are just like in Chuck E Cheese and have very little common sense, so come prepared with everything you need.
3. Party room is kind of dungey looking, no music, and standing room only for adults.
I was impressed with how smooth a 3 year old’s birthday party could be and considered opening up my own Little Gym after realizing what a sweet hustle it is to charge $ 350 for a party that last only 1.5 hrs.

I just had my son 2^nd Birthday Party here 2 weeks ago. I have to say, best decision I made to have it here for his 2^nd birthday. A Lot of his friends were 1 years old and up. They all had an amazing time! Even the little ones who weren’t quite fully a walker had a great time. I got a lot of great feedback’s from the parents that their kids had an amazing time. I’m so glad they did and that is all I really wanted is for my son and the kids to have a great time. I’m glad there was a tv in the lobby where the dads were hanging out to watch football and that’s a plus for the dads who didn’t want to be in the gym.
The only complaint I have is that I wish the party was longer. My guest wished the party was longer too. Hopefully in the near future they can accommodate longer parties and not just for the last party time frame. Other then that, the staffs are great with the kids and everything ran smoothly and professionally.

My daughter had her 6^th birthday party here & it was fantastic! The majority of guests were in kindergarten but even the few older siblings –11 yrs old or so, really enjoyed themselves!
The instructors /​party helpers were great & kept the kids completely entertained. From a parents point of view they couldn’t have been kinder or more helping.
The best part — us grown ups got to socialize. The Little Gym handles absolutely everything. All we had to do was show up with the cake & the birthday girl! It was a wonderful party !!

Unpleasant experience for my 1^st grandchilds 1^st birthday. We paid $ 350 almost a month in advance for 4 pizzas, boxed drinks and 15 children. We had to bring the cake and soda for adults along with ice and pay $ 10 for each additional pizza which was fine except i got annoying calls asking me to prepay for the pizzas and party favors when i had no idea how many I’d need. Needless to say i was stressed out over this. We arrived 10 minutes early as the last party was leaving which is poor party planning. We were suppose to have 1 hour of supervised gym time which was a hot mess. Then they served the children pizza and cake and rushed us out as the next party was early. very embarassing. I have had better parties at McDonalds. Save your money.:(

My 20 month old loves it here. Mrs. Siobhan is great for the Beasties :)

We used them for a birthday party for our four year old son.
We had been through a lot and set this up last minute for our son.
It went off very well. All the 3 and 4 year olds loved every minute of this. It was pure chaos, the kids all running around the gym. But, parents were encouraged to stay out and let the staff handle, which they did.
I just wish there was a longer party. That is my only complaint. Everything else was run very professionally. A meal was included along with gifts for each of the children attending.
Would do this again and recommend the party to anyone else wanting something they do not want to plan.
As everything was done by the little gym, even the mailing out of invitations to the guests.
