Our granddaughter has been going to The Little Gym in Friendswood for a few months. She LOVES it. The teachers are engaging, always explaining how to do different skills, and encouraging. We look forward to her class every week.

Love the Little Gym-Friendswood! Have been attending this location for 4 years now and had great experiences. My son is 4 and always loved the fun activities and energy in the classes. Made a bunch of friends here as well! The owner is wonderful and takes great interest in the parents.. really listens and cares. Well worth your time and money! All 3 of my children have loved it!

Would give zero stars if possible. I am extremely disappointed with how my son was treated yesterday by his teacher. I signed my 3 year old son up a few weeks ago and he loved the class. He's been having a hard time fitting in with the other kids because he was the only boy in the class and he has never been in a class type setting. He's a kid and gets loud when he's excited. Yesterday I watched as he and a few of the girls yelled back and forth at one another "MY TURN". While I understand she has to "correct" them she had no right to do what she did. The teacher was visibilly annoyed by him and went up to my son and grabbed him by the arm and walked him across to the other side. This made me FURIOUS. She sees me watching and completely changes her demeanor. My son was singled out every single class simply for being loud and energetic. There was a girl there that was mean to him and would tell him he couldn't be where she was so my son would get upset and yell stuff like "we're supposed to take turns" or "it's my turn"... and it never failed. Instead of asking what happened or what's wrong she (the teacher) scolded him. He's only three years old, he doesn't know how to regulate his emotions. My son loved his classes and looked forward to them every week, but I will not be taking him back after what I saw. I refuse to pay another cent just for them to treat him poorly. I emailed yesterday about this incident and I still have not heard back.Other reasons why we decided to cancel:- They are not very flexible. If kid gets sick less than 24 hours before your class they won't let you make up the class. Which sucks because kids don’t get sick on a schedule and we can’t know 24 hours before to be able to plan accordingly.- There is only one teacher, so she can't really focus on each kid enough for them to retain much.- Not much communication from the people working there as far as their policies and stuff like that.- place is also dealing with a roach issue. We've seen roaches in the restroom the past few visits.

Both of my daughters have attended classes at The Little Gym, my youngest currently in the toddler class. They’ve both learned great skills & coordination, the teachers are helpful, and most importantly they have fun!

I have two great grandkids that go to the Little gym. They love it and we could not be any happier. They have programs set up for their ages. We love to go watch them. We are planning to have our great grandson have his 2 year old party. Other parties we have gone to are so much fun for them. We love to watch them. The instructors are great. They help each child to achieve their goals. They are great.

This little gym was amazing! My daughter needed something to get her energy out and this definitely helped. The gym was always clean and they worked on different skills each week. There was a good mixture of play and gymnastics which is great for little busy minds. The instructors there were great and my daughter always had a blast

I have a 11 month baby. I can not predict when my baby goes down for a nap. My baby has a hard time sleeping in general. If you miss a class and do not give a 24 hour notice, you can not make up the class. I refuse to wake up my baby from a nap to drag him to class. This is the only The Little Gym that has a strict policy like that. I have been to another Little Gym and they had a more understanding management staff. My kid has gotten sick from attending this location and I never blamed them. The ladies that teach the class are wonderful and nice. The manager however is extremely rude.

Little Gym is such a fun little place for the littles! My 18 month old and I really enjoy the gym. She gets to socialize and play. She blossoms with every visit! The teachers and owner are so nice. Siblings are not allowed, and this may be an issue for people without childcare. You must also give 24 hour notice for any cancellations.

Enjoyed the class until the end. Started and stopped going there twice due to trying other actives.The first time I canceled, it was like pulling teeth due to them charging my card every month. Even with doing their policy of informing them as well as writing a letter to cancel out 30 day notice. We also had make up classes we never made up.Second time, I informed them that I was not going to put my card on file and I would pay via online. Which I did for over 6 months. Faithfully.Now, this time around. I hadn't renewed and when they called me to tell me i had a payment due. I started inquiring about the make up classes and canceling out, due to again wanting to do other activities.Was told that this Sunday 10/16/22 would be the last paid class or his last day that would be paid for. Told them that was fine as well as inquiring about the 2 makeup days again, we still had never used.Told us that we can't do the make up days because we needed to pay for another month to get those....so pay for something that's already been paid for? That makes total since. So I said fine Sunday will be his last day.Husband takes him as normal and guess what, he had to pay for that class. Now saying that last weekend 10/9/22 was the last class (they called me on 10/11/22 about the payment and canceling, as well as the last paid class being 10/16/22.) So guess what they made us pay for today as a single class. Until I called and they said they would refund the $25 my husband paid for.Ridiculous and sneaky.Like this program. Don't like how they handle their business side.Let the kids play but watch your wallet is the best advise I have to give.

My 19 month old loves the class and the instructor. Only reason I give three stars is because they could’ve done a better job at explaining their missed class policy.We missed due to my toddler waking up sick and they refused to work with us because we didn’t call the day before to let them know we were missing class (which was impossible because she was fine the day before).This wasn’t clearly explained to us beforehand. I thought we needed to let them know 24 hours before scheduling a new class, not 24 hours before a missed class.
