We first came to the gym for a friend’s birthday party and had such a good time that we decided to get a membership. This program has been the BEST activity for our two active kids! We look forward to class every week (along with the regular open gym hours). The owners are phenomenal, the “lessons” are thoughtfully created and engaging, and (most importantly) I see my kids using what they learn to play safer and more creatively wherever they go. We highly recommend The Little Gym to anyone! ◡̈
The staff are super friendly and helpful. They are flexible with make up sessions. We had a birthday party here and it was super fun for everyone. Parents can watch the class which is nice.
I can’t say enough good things about The Little Gym of Carmel.
We have been attending classes with our 2 kids on and off over the last 3 years and have always had a wonderful experience. The only reason we have cancelled classes is because our kids wanted to try other sports and we didn’t want to commit to multiple activities at the same time.
Pricing / registration: reasonable pricing and very flexible scheduling. They offer make-up classes if you miss your regularly scheduled class. Signing up and cancelling is incredibly easy, which I appreciate. You don’t have to jump through hoops like you do with many other companies.
Facility: They have a great set up. There’s a small play area for kids while you wait for classes and/or for siblings not in class. Everything is always tidy and clean. The gym portion has all glass windows and plenty of seating, so families can watch their kids the whole time.
Staff: We’ve always had a positive experience with the staff at The Little Gym. They are warm, friendly, and take the time to get to know families. The owners are very involved and radiate positivity.
Classes: We really enjoyed the structure of the classes. They are a combination of free-play and teacher-led group activities. Classes are catered to specific age groups / development levels. What we like most about the classes, other than the valuable physical skills learned, is that children are not forced to participate. Teachers lead by example and use positive methods to encourage children to be part of the group and work with them to meet them where they’re at.
In addition to classes, we also had a birthday party with The Little Gym earlier this year and it was a major hit! The pricing was reasonable, and the experience was perfect. You can bring your own decorations or pay a little extra to have them decorate & set everything up. We opted for a Bluey party, and they had all the materials – eatery, balloons, tablecloths, and birthday banners. It was really nice to just show up and everything be set up. You can bring your own outside food, and they have a kitchenette with a fridge, sink, and microwave for food preparation. The employees took care of tear down as well.
For the party activities, they provided a combination of free play and structured activities. The staff did a wonderful job of keeping the kids engaged and monitoring the interest of the children. We had a mix of kids ranging from 1 year to 5 years old and each one had a great time and was able to participate. The kids had so much fun; it was hard to get them to leave.
If you’re thinking about registering for a class or booking a birthday party, you will not regret doing it!
My wife and I had our kids birthday party there last weekend. The kids had a blast, The ladies running the party were amazing, It honestly exceeded all expectations we had and more.. We’ve already recommended at least three or four families to the little gym for bday parties! Keep up the good work.

We're thrilled to hear that your kids' birthday party was a hit! It's wonderful to know that our team exceeded your expectations. Thank you for recommending us to other families, we truly appreciate it. We look forward to hosting more memorable parties in the future.
Both of my daughters attend regular classes here (aged 4 and 6). We also had a birthday party recently for my daughter's 4th birthday. The birthday party was amazing, it was very organized, and reasonably priced. The two team members that supported my daughter's birthday party really kept the kids entertained. This was the lowest stress children's birthday party I have ever had. Kids ranging from 2-9 attended the party, and all were entertained. Overall, the staff here are extremely patient with children of all ages, and I really admire them for it!

This place was very prejudice towards my son. One of the kids tood my son that he couldn't play because he was black. Never going again. Some if the other parents were even snotty towards me and the mother of my son.

So this is not a review about the business, our classes or our staff. It's a review of the people that were in the class with you. I appreciate you sharing your concerns. I have always found that most people that come to The Little Gym are happy, positive, and inclusive. After all, it is an environment of love, nurture, and development for children. We would be happy to gift you a month of classes so your family can have a larger sample size. Just email us at TLGcarmelin@thelittlegym.com
My daughter loves her weekly class so much we did her birthday party there. They have helped her skill and confidence tremendously. Only positive things to say about them.

We've been attending The Little Gym regularly for about 3 years. The staff has always been very welcoming and greets your kids by name. When my son had trouble transitioning to a parent/child class to a solo child class, Steve was very patient and provided different options to help my son feel comfortable. Both of my kids love going to the gym and I love seeing them gain their confidence!

It's such a great feeling to know that we left you with such a remarkable impression of The Little Gym of Carmel. We're overjoyed to see your rating and truly thank you for sharing!
Just had our daughters 5th Birthday party here - her first "real" party with friends. It was THE BEST! Online scheduling - easy. Steve answered all of my questions about how the event would work and put my mind at ease that it would be a hit and it was. Party room was all set up and decorated. Online waiver was a nice option to do ahead of time. Free time at the party start was nice until all guests arrived. Very organized activities in between free times to make the birthday girl feel very special. Steve and the other instructors were patient and energetic. I can't say enough about how wonderful of a time us and all the kiddos had - their smiles were contagious. Thank you for making it a special event!
