Little gym is very professional and hands on teaching. They put your kids in the proper level after reasonable testing and keep kids motivated. I have a younger kid who is more athletic and motivated. However, she had to quit other places because other places that would put her with her old sister but everyone knows two sisters are completely different. Little gym has one instructor was junior Olympian that tells you about the high quality they possess. All instructors are warm and helpful in class. Each class has two or more instructors the better teacher student ratio is really helpful. I feel lucky that we have little gym in Brentwood :-)Thank you Little Gym - you are the star!

The Little Gym of Brentwood has been pivotal in helping my son develop his fine motor skills. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. My son looks forward to his class every week. We can’t wait to start bringing our daughter once she is old enough. Do not hesitate to sign your child up for classes here, it is worth every penny!

We absolutely have the BEST time with Miss Megan and Mr Jim. Both teach wonderful classes and truly engage with all the kiddos where they are at developmentally and it’s amazing to watch.We have noticed a HUGE jump in developmental skills since enrolling with the Little Gym. Only wish we could have MORE classes to help fill some downtime during the week, outside of that, we really LOVE our class and time at the Little Gym. 10/10 recommend for all local East Bay parents

My review is solely based on birthday party experience on 4/1. I loved how the employees were so engaged and had so many games for the kids to do. There wasn't a moment the kids sat down because they were "bored". I never knew this place existed and I'm glad I do now (with a little one on the way), we went to a similar place in Walnut Creek. The fun the kids had made me so happy to see. Sure a few boo boos happened but employees were quick to offer an ice pack with care. My girls couldn't stop talking about the time they had and the info about the employees on the wall had them so interested about who was there. I can't speak for the classes they do and I hope to soon once our little guy has arrived. I know my girls will be asking until we can make it in. But just by the birthday party I'm sure the classes they have are just as amazing. Employees there are what really make a great experience and the 2 we had during the party was fantastic.

We joined The Little Gym of Brentwood family once they reopened following the pandemic and loved the experience from our first visit so much we made the trek from Castro Valley every week. Every instructor from Miss Marissa to Miss Olivia to Miss Megan has been professional, patient, kind and fun! My pandemic baby became more outgoing and confident with every week. Five stars for the staff, the management, the location and the commitment to cleanliness! Try it, you'll love it!

All three of my kids have enjoyed the pleasure of this wonderful experience. The Little Gym is fun, engaging, but above all it enhances the development of children on multiple levels. Highly recommended.

Love everything about Little Gym of Brentwood. I called them to join the Little Birds class in October 2022 and they put me on waitlist. Luckily, they had an open spot about 3 weeks later and we joined when my daughter was 10 months old. She was crawling when we joined and she learned so much in every Sunday morning class she attended. Megan is a great instructor!!! We love her so much. She is very welcoming, personable and knowleagable about childhood development. They have structured session with lots of parent child activities, skill of the week and free play exploration. 45 mins goes by fast when you are in there.They also give a monogrammed bag full of gym actitivities toys like ball, shaker, sticks and jump rope etc. to use during activities. You can take the bag home and even if you forget it at home, they provide those actitivies toys there during the session.My daughter started walking confidently and also improved her social skills over the course of 3 months.My husband also really enjoyed the class. But he noticed that my daughter got most out of the class and gym activities when she started walking and not so much while she was still a crawler. Nevertheless, she loved it.They are always so welcoming and the lobby is so clean all the time. We had to use bathroom a few times and it was fully stocked and clean. We skipped some classes because my daughter got sick so many times during winter. I made sure to call them the same day and they were super nice about it. They add you to future makeup class in the system and you can attend other classes on Tuesday, Saturdays. So you get your money's worth.They are also very good about cleaning the gym. I was very impressed with Instagram video they uploaded where they deep cleaned the gym and sanitized everything. During the gym session, if babies drooled on mats the instructor cleaned it with sanitizing wipes right away. I highly recommend this place for toddlers. We definitely loved it as first time parents.

The better part of a decade and still going.Why this is a great place...I started my daughters when they were just learning to walk. These were parent and child classes. Great skill building and structure. We talk about skills, learn skills, and even learn sign language. Each week is different.Now my girls are 7 and 8 years old in the bigger classes. My son is 15 months and in the parent/child classes again.The older children's classes help to build structure and independence. The instructors are AWESOME (shoutout to Megan!). You watch in the lobby. It's amazing to see their confidence build week over week.Jim, by the way, is probably one of the nicest guys on the planet. He is direct in his communication, he's not going to BS you, does what is in the best interest of safety. Upmost respect to Jim. He's always been welcoming to all different backgrounds and needs. For missing classes you need to communicate in advance and schedule make-ups, timely. It's not like a rollover plan where you can take classes in a week to make up for missing prior weeks, for example.The gym is cleaned daily and I know this because I see the teams at work. They also host birthday parties and private events. For my son, we already have planned to see if we can host it here.Overall it's a great place. I have one shy daughter and one outgoing daughter. At the little gym they find a common ground and we love taking them here. I highly recommend.

We absolutely love this gym! Very clean facility and the staff is amazing. We have the last class of the night and I've watched how thorough they are with cleaning. All mats are sanitized and the equipment wiped down. They are patient & know each child by name. Mr Jim is always welcoming & truly cares about my daughter and how she's doing outside of the gym as well. He's friendly along with all his amazing staff. My daughter looks forward to going every week and always says she had fun. It's great exercise and has increased her confidence in herself and her ability to master anything she puts her mind to. The staff help the kids individually work on skills so no one feels behind. We've had two birthday parties there and all the guests have told me it was the best party they've attended and their kids came home tired & happy. They tailor the party to what the birthday child enjoys and play the best upbeat music while they're playing. I highly recommend The Little Gym!

I am going to update my review here and explain exactly why I was upset with the whole situation since you need examples. 1. I called Jim letting him know I have at least 4 make up days (2 from Oct, 2 from Nov) and he tells me I have none and proceeds with "well did you call?" And I replied YES. I spoke to YOU. He chuckles and says well idk what happen there but it shows you have no classes to make up. WRONG, first rule in business, you don't ever tell the client they're wrong and proceed to make them sound like they're lying. Why would I even lie about making up classes? Does that even benefit me? 2. 30 day notice - dumbest thing I ever heard. Even professionally you need 2 weeks notice, not 4. He then proceeds to ask me if preschools get make up days. First of all Jim, your little gym is NOT a preschool, so do not compare apples to oranges. He also used this on another mom and she works for a preschool and no, they don't require a 30 day notice. She also found that very rude that he'd try to school her when she in fact, works at one. He also allowed my mom friend to quit little gym without a 30 day notice and when I mentioned it he said he's not sure about that... right. Again, play d**** Us mothers talk, we know what's going on. 3. After my review he calls and texts my mom friends asking them what he did wrong. They even told him I did indeed have missed multiple classes last month and this month, he then says "people make mistakes." Granted he NEVER said that to me because he didn't believe I had any make-ups because in his system it says I do not. When you make a mistake with a client, you DO NOT CALL THEIR FRIENDS. You call the client and apologize. He eventually calls me back +24 hours later after calling and texting my friends (VERY UNPROFESSIONAL) and I told him I am not interested in talking. I will NEVER associate with someone who talks to me like I am stupid and proceeds to involve my friends. What are we? In high school? 4. Lastly, do not send an email blast to us parents telling us you clean the gym daily. YOU DO NOT. I put my socks on inside the red mat and when my son and I leave, my socks and his feet are dirty. There was a birthday party on Oct 30th, kids and parents left with black feet. That's disgusting. Again, we are not stupid. So don't EVER speak to a client in any disrespectful or condescending manner and expect them to treat you with any type of respect just because you're the business owner.
