My daughter is two and absolutely loves this place. Very kind, clean and friendly. Not too many children in a class and they learn to use their bodies quickly! I highly recommend this place

Our daughter has been coming here for about a year and we love it. The coaches are great and accommodating. The facility is clean. I look forward to class every week to watch her grow and learn.

Love coach Jennifer. Best place to go for beginners. My daughter loves gymnastic because of this place and not only is she excelling but she is being taught carefully (the basic gymnastics skills that are needed). She was at another gym and felt insecure and wasn't able to succeed in the foundation needed in the class. If you have tiny tots that wants to start gymnastics, this is a great spot. And monthly is also cheaper. Smaller classes also.

I highly recommend Gymtots. My daughter loves the coaches and I appreciate the structure that they provide for the students. Children know what to expect when they attend. I have noticed my daughter gain an awareness of her body as she attended classes. Coach Jennifer does a terrific job of showing the students the moves or exercises and then does not let your child do it incorrectly. She guides the child and corrects form. I feel like this is a quality program. The student to instructor ratio is also low and allows your child to always be under the attention and direction of an instructor. Thank you to all the coaches for their patience, diligence and clear instruction.

This post is for Parents with Special Needs Kids. This place is not friendly with children with disabilities. I have read all the positive reviews from yelp and wanted to try it out for my child. I have a four year old daughter with mild autism. Though she is non-verbal, she loves to tumble and climb. When we arrived at Gymtots she loved the place right away and wanted to explore, some kids were already warming up. We met Coach Jennifer. I have explained to her that my daughter is on the spectrum. My daughter went straightaway to the gym structures and explored. When she would not sit on the mat with the other kids, Coach Jennifer escorted her and brought her back to me and said, "we will try later." Coach Jennifer continued to instruct the other kids, while we watched. Roughly, five minutes later, my daughter wanted to go in but she went straight to the gym structures yet again. Coach Jennifer carried her back to me and said, "Sorry, we cannot accommodate her. Our programs are all structured." I asked if they have a beginner programs that my daughter can participate in since this is the first time that she has been in a gymnastics center. Coach Jennifer downright rejected her and told us that they don't have programs for suitable for her. No consideration or anything. I left Gymtots with my daughter crying. She had been enjoying herself and wanted to stay. I was heartbroken for her and for the fact that she had been discriminated against due to her disability. She is only four years old and I am realizing now how harsh this world can be for children like her. She could not access recreational activities such as gymnastics like any other kid. I would expect that, in this day and age, coaches and private sport centers would be attune to the needs of, not only disabled children but all children who maybe different than the elite. Now, having read previous posts on this forum, it is clear that Coach Jennifer has had problematic behaviors like this with very young children in the past, 2 year old. The owner replied to the negative review, said that changes would be made internally. It seems evident that the same problems are ongoing.

WE LOVE GYMTOTS !! We can't say enough good things about this place!! From their amazing coaches to their CLEAN, organized facility. Every week they have a fun new activity planned out, meaning the kids are always learning new skills. My child is always greeted by name & made feel welcomed and remembered. Thank you GYMTOTS for all you do. You are appreciated

This is the best gymnastics center ever! We have been to a couple but there is no care like the care the trainers give the students. Each week is a new development is skills and it's so perfectly designed. My baby girl will b going here for the rest of her gymnastics life

The coaches and classes were great! My daughter took classes here for 2 years. We moved right before the pandemic when she was close to 5, otherwise we would have stayed until she reaches the upper age limit here. Because of the excellent experience, I enrolled her in a gym near my new place last year. Though she is now in school age classes, for the last year I have observed quite a bit the preschool classes at the new place and appreciate more how lucky we were to have Gymtot closeby when she was younger. The coaches we had at Gymtot were all nice, some more bubblely some more quiet but all keep their attentions on the kids all the time during class. In comparison I was a bit shocked to see a coach at my new place looking or talking on her phone often while teaching preschoolers. Luckily she doesn't teach school age kids here. I also felt Gymtot classes have a good balance of structure and fun compared to the preschool classes I witnessed here. While at Gymtot when not exercising together, the kids would be in a "circus" doing different activities/stations in sequence with the coach(es) staying at fixed places helping/correcting the kids on the "bigger" skill in the sequence, while keeping an eye on the other stations. The whole process seemed pretty structured/efficient to me. I checked out yelp review back then before I started my kid here. Today while researching gyms for school age kids I checked back here again, and thought I should give a shout out to Gymtot, and recommend it to all who likes the kind of classes I tried to describe above. Open gym might be a better fit for parents/kids who prefers more free-spirited less structured gym activities.

We waited 6 months for a trail class, we showed up on time, and ready to learn, explore and have fun. My daughter is only 20 months old, she is free spirited but a sweetheart who loves gymnastics. I honestly didn’t like how controlled every activity was for her, and thought throughout the class we would not come back. Then she was introduced to the toy room , and I saw her light up and have even more fun. I thought I needed to give this class a real chance, try it a few times see what happens. Towards the end of class she went number two in her diaper, like any baby would! I asked to use a bathroom and was really upset when I walked into a restroom with no changing table, I had to change her standing up. Which was horrible, I kept thinking how do you offer a gymnastics class for babies?! and nowhere to change them safely. I changed her and went out, I asked the coach where should we sign up to attend future classes, she told me my daughter would not be a good fit for that class!!!! It was too structured, and that we should get on another waitlist to a little baby class with no structure. I was at a complete loss for words, how do you offer a class that is for her age group, knowing that young children do not always listen and decide for no reason that my child isn’t good enough for your class. We have been to a few gymnastics classes trying to find the perfect fit, & location all of her teachers have had nothing, but kind & positive feedback for my free spirited intelligent little girl. I would not recommend this place to any Mother with a child who has a mind of their own, and the drive to live life on their own terms. I’ve also never written a bad review like this, this incident literally kept me up all night debating on if I should write a review or just walk away, as a mother you have to stand for your child rights, I feel like I had zero choice in writing this review. I hope that coach, and that gym can take this constructive criticism and learn to be more inclusive going forward.

I started bringing my 1 year old to the tots in motion class in June and we both really enjoyed the classes. Coach Jennifer was great with all the kids especially mine, my little girl will be 2 in August so her attention span is short and she is super excited from the moment we walk in she just runs around in excitement. I would chase my daughter around so she would be involved in what coach Jennifer was singing & doing but the coach told me to just let her express herself and let her be free so I stopped chasing her around as much & let her enjoy herself. Come to July they got a new coach and right off the bat I was already not feeling her. My daughter ran to rang the bell like she always does & the new coach starts telling her no that's only for teachers which is strange bc my daughter & all the other kids always ring it (it's also hung at a TODDLER LEVEL) & coach Jennifer never said a thing. It's time for us to sit in our circle and sing & dance & my daughter being a NORMAL 1 year old didn't want to stay & sit on a dot on the mat, she wanted to run around & play like she normally would & I could tell the new coach was getting frustrated with my daughter right away, she keeps telling her to sit down & stuff. Which was kind of bothering me bc the other coaches never would say anything. But whatever I let it go, & just tried to get my daughter to sit & listen but she wanted to play. The teacher starts handing out toys for the kids & my daughter was like her little tail crying for a toy but the teacher was saying sit down for your toy make sure you sit down. I grab my daughter so she can sit with me & get her toy, while I'm doing my best to keep my daughter on the dot sitting, my daughter is crying & getting frustrated bc she wants a toy & doesn't want to be forced to sit, the coach is handing a toy to the kid next to us & as it's our turn for a toy she skips us & goes to another kid & makes my kid scream & cry more. Like I don't understand what was the point of that? To teach a one year old a lesson? You see her crying for a toy & she's sitting down but you go & skip her. After that I was PISSED. My daughter was frustrated as well & still didn't want to just sit so we grabbed our stuff & walked out bc the new coach was making us feel like we were bothering the rest of the class. I did not like the vibe that she was giving, I like the old coach better, coach Jennifer. Mind you this is a class for 18 month olds & 3 year olds, if you don't have the patience to work with kids then this ain't the job for you. I already paid for the month so I'm going to continue to bring my daughter for the rest of the month but these NEW coaches need to learn how to work with toddlers. I still gave three stars bc the first month we REALLY ENJOYED & had no issues, it's this new coach that is ruining our experience.

Gym tots has been so great for my two kiddos (ages 2 and 4)...Coach Jennifer is “takes no nonsense” in a kind and productive way. It’s been amazing for my kids to have to take instructions from someone who is not a parent. Their coordination and athleticism has also been greatly improved. I can’t recommend Gym Tots enough!
