The Little Gym of Arlington

"Great place for kids - lots of fun activities and “lessons” behind each activity. Friendly staff, quick response, and very flexible. Highly recommend!"

"I used to love this place. I took my son here from four months of age until he was about 18 months. Our favorite teacher left, the prices went up, they sold to a pretty sketch company (Google them), and they had some waiver that they wanted us to sign that my husband looked over and said it was pretty concerning. We decided to take a little break because I was expecting a baby and we didn't want to expose ourselves to germs on top of all of the changes that we really didn't care for. My sister has her 7 month old enrolled and I thought it's been a few months, I will bring my now four month old in for a drop in class. As a note that used to be free --your first class to try. When I called they told me it would be $33 and said it's no longer free for a drop in class. I'm officially done with the Little Gym. I will not be giving them one more nickel. They are just a cash cow now. I found a place called Empower Gym not too far away and it's $18 a class vs $33. $33 for 45 minutes when most of the classes are so packed is NOT worth it. Empower starts at 1 year-- my sister said as soon as her son hits a year she will be changing over and I am just going to hold off enrolling my baby until he reaches one. I'm very disappointed. I met a lot of great mom friends here and used to really like this place but of the seven mother friends I made only two still go bc of all the changes and charges. I used to recommend TLG to everyone and now it's a running joke among my mom friends that we recommend it to no one and recommend they avoid. They certainly have lost a lot of old business but I'm sure they are getting a lot of new business. I genuinely don't really think they care about the customers and it’s just about the bottom line. I never used to feel that way before they sold the company. I’m honestly sort of sad about it— it became such a part of our routine and I was looking forward to watching cousins play together, but they got selfish."

"Instructors are good with the kids but Ms. Emily is very rude and treats parents and children, differently. There’s also distracting chit chat by her and others in the parents’ area and, overall, unprofessional behavior that would be expected from a child learning place."

"We reserved a time three months out for birthday party but because of scheduling conflict, we had to cancel it a week later. However the little gym of Arlington does not even consider to refund it even though we were never informed about the nonrefundable deposit nor canceling the last minute. This is not the way you should treat your customer, not to mention they have so many rules regarding party no outside food, I only pizza you can order, only minimum guested can attend the party. To All the parents, please go somewhere else for a party unless you don’t care about how much it’s gonna cost you. Updated - The manager called and refunded the deposit. They claim the deposit can be used towards any future classes which was different than what we were told. Thank you for following up with us."

"My son and I attended a birthday party for a friend that was hosted here, and I was so impressed with the way the staff interacted with the kids. My son was being fairly willful and contrary that day, and they just rolled with it and patiently created good boundaries for him while also being accommodating. The venue is a great place for kids to run around and have a great time, but the staff were the really stellar part of the experience!"
