The Little Gym of Seattle at Maple Leaf

I have been taking children to The Little Gym for 20+ years. As a nanny, I have seen transformations. Every child I have cared for has benefited in ways you might not expect. Strength outside, but more importantly INSIDE. Every child get's one on one encouragement with the teacher. The Maple Leaf gym has been such a resource with my current twins, different personalities... kind of feisty, but they help them and redirect them like PROS! Because they are! ❤️

The little gym has been a pivotal part in my kiddos growth (beast/superbeast) he has gained confidence, independence, and better coordination. Teacher Jackie, is hands down one of the best directors to work at little gym. She is so informative and passionate and she radiates the exact energy you need on a good day or bad day. She makes this Seattle weather a little bit more bearable for a lot of us. This specific location has some of the absolute BEST teachers overall. Always kind, greeting us with smiles, and always happy to jump in and help when the kiddos get a little rowdy. We not only attend Mondays, but also on Friday and our littlest (4 months) attends as well for the bugs class. It’s an amazing program for all ages, and these teachers really believe in its curriculum, as do I! 🩷 little gym is monumental.

EDIT: The owner resolved the issues with calling shortly after I posted this review. I continued going for a few months and had a generally good experience. Main reason I stopped is because the classes no longer worked with my son’s nap time ——— You need to call to schedule a make up class or cancel membership but they NEVER pick up the phone. I’ve tried calling at several different days and times. I know they’re not busy because every time I’ve been there there are at least 3 employees milling about doing nothing. Don’t come here if you want good customer service

We absolutely love this place! My three-year-old started taking classes there with Teacher Sarah last year. This place made her fall in love with gymnastics. She is now in Teacher Marlo's class. Teacher Elaine often are there when the class need two teachers. My daughter love all of them. They are all very athletic, kind, patient, and good with kids. My daughter learned A LOT from their classes. Besides the teachers are fantastic, the kids and parents are nice people too. And the facility is always clean. They even provide water, fruit, clean wiping cloth, etc for the little ones. They sanitize the floor completely after each class. My daughter was so looking forward to this fun&educational class every week. They also have FREE play time for members often. That is so convenient for us. We always tried to drop in those free play time on Friday after school. It is a great way to burn out her left energy, especially in rainy Seattle when all the outdoor playgrounds are wet and dark! Absolutely would recommend to any one I know, and I have been doing so!

My grandson and I started attending The Little Gym in Maple Leaf probably about 3-4 m ago .He is now 19m old . It has been such a positive experience. Interacting with other children , gym skills , short circle time appropriate to their age ( ok if they wander too) music , front rolls , bubbles , balls, gym equipment placed creatively and differently each week, friendly and knowledgeable staff . Our first teacher, I believe her name was Miss Melissa and Miss Sara our next teacher were both amazing !! My grandson would sometimes cry and run off and I never repeat never got anything but understanding from staff . Clean and sanitized between classes . The only reason we are not attending anymore is because we are moving . I highly highly recommend The Little Gym , Maple Leaf .
