The Little Gym of Ardmore

We have been coming here just a couple months and LOVE it. We were simultaneously in another toddler gymnastics class and felt such a stark difference in the coaches, the activities, and the culture that we couldn't continue with the other one. Like most young toddlers, our child is very active, very confident, and learns through exploration and variety. She's definitely not the child clinging to their parent (although if your child is more shy, it's still a great experience for them) This class allows her to balance between free exploration of the gymnastics stations and age appropriate structure. In her other gymnastics class, we felt stressed the entire time because her developmental stage was not supported as expected for a class supposedly designed for her age group and we felt judged if our child didn't want to practice something or couldn't stand still in line. At the Little Gym, however, even if she sometimes chooses not to participate in a skill because she's too excited by all the cool things in the room, she's free to do so. She'll practice other skills and at no point do we ever feel that the coach will be rude or annoyed with a toddler being a toddler. They are very supportive, experienced, and patient and in just a couple months of weekly classes, our 22 month old daughter has learned so much. She's confident on the balance beam, she's improving on the bars, she is learning the concept of having a structure in a class setting as they also break up the class with other toddler centered activities like balls, bubbles, and singing. They introduce skills necessary for gymnastics through such fun ways....I mean a bouncey mat for them to jump on? Love it. Everything is geared for sensory and spatial development. All the coaches are friendly and patient. Our daughter especially responds well to Coach Parker. Rescheduling is very flexible. I also like that they have occasional member benefits like an extra free session or activity, hopefully there'll be more of those! We also love that that both my husband and I can be with her in the class. Sooooo glad we found this place.

We could not be happier that a Little Gym opened in Ardmore. We’ve been members for a few months now - my daughter is in the Beasts class and absolutely loves it. It’s been great for growing her confidence and interacting with other littles her age. She gets so excited to go every week and see Mr Parker, who is absolutely wonderful with how he teaches and engages with the children. The gym is brightly decorated, clean, and loads of fun!

The Little Gym of Ardmore has been an absolute delight for our 19-month-old's tumbling class. The environment is perfectly suited for young children, with age-appropriate equipment and activities that keep them engaged and excited. Mr. Parker, Miss Jules, and Miss Natalie are exceptional instructors who create a welcoming and fun atmosphere. They have a unique way of connecting with the kids, making each class enjoyable and educational. Our child has gained so much confidence and independence under their guidance. We couldn't be happier with our experience at The Little Gym of Ardmore and highly recommend it to other parents looking for a fantastic toddler tumbling class.

The Little Gym has been instrumental in helping my son hit physical developmental milestones and learning how to socialize with other babies. It contains structured and unstructured activities that give babies/toddlers opportunities to learn specific skills and explore on their own. The coach, Mr. Parker, is great with the kids. He is patient and energetic and helps them learn new skills safely at their own pace/comfort level.

I dropped in this past Sunday with my 3 year-old & 1 year-old to check out the “Funny Bugs & Giggle Worms” ages 3-4 class. We had a WONDERFUL experience! The facility was clean, bright and kid-friendly; staff were so kind and my inexperienced, usually shy 3 year old had an amazing time enjoying the class with staff and her peers. I was particularly impressed with the staff’s ability to balance all the various personalities while maintaining an active, playful, and engaging environment. Also they had tiny colorful hair ties in the bathroom! Lovely touch. We’ll definitely return. Thank you!
