5 months agoWe spent 2 years going to My Gym and only stopped because we moved away. The staff here is one of a kind. Truly some of the best. They are so engaging with the kids - from the circle time, puppet show and activities. I was able to watch my toddler grow so much in socialization and motor skills. It’s so great to have a weekly activity to go to, especially in the winter months. I highly recommend MyGym, especially this location

a year agoGreat place for a birthday party or to join and have a weekly outing. Staff is great with the kids and keeps them active and engaged. Recommend for ages 2-8.

a year agoHad a great experience at this place, parking spaces at the street are rarely an issue plus it’s free, once you become a mygym member you can easily schedule and cancel the classes and open gym on their website. Kids get so excited to be here and they become more active, I also end up exhausted . Glad I found this place where I can connect more w my little one. I still think the playground settings could be safer, like there’s metal bases that even w protectors some areas are still exposed. The last couple times we went to a class I noticed a baby roach on the blue circle that I killed immediately before a kid touched it, a few spiders here and there, also so much humidity where the water dispenser is the carpet feels always damp in that area and there’s small humidity flys flying around.

a year agoI've been coming here with my son and daughter, since they were both 2 years old, for the past 6 years, and it's a great way to have your kids to learn physical, and social skills in a structured environment. The staff here at River Forrest MyGym is exceptional. Nyelle and Justin do a wonderful job getting the kids involved, and are very patient, and also know how to handle all types of kids. I have been very impressed over the years, and I think this place is great for getting your kids ready for any structured environment like Pre-K, and for getting your kids endless energy out.

2 years agoThis location is great. The staff are friendly to my children and others. They do a good job of engaging and encouraging kids while still letting them explore (even during circle times). I'd definitely recommend them for open gym, classes and parties. Their online portal on the other hand I give one star (so won't slight this location with that review). It's horrendous and just not what one expects from a gym. I'd expect to be able to schedule one-off drop ins for my kids. However you can't do that online but only scheduled recurring classes, which will bill you right away. My wife, who does IT product management, thought she was an idiot when trying to schedule a single drop in class. I felt the same way when trying to. It shouldn't be this hard and I have to imagine is scaring away customers including myself.
