The Little Gym of Seattle at Maple Leaf

"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 daughter had a great first class, but her second class included far too many kids per instructor (six 3-4 year olds per instructor, so 12 kids and 2 instructors). The class was chaos without enough supervision. My 3 year old daughter’s hand was smashed in a door by another kid in class because there wasn’t any order. The manager did not apologize for the situation and basically told us to take our kid and leave."

"A teacher gave my 3 and a half year old a time out for touching other kids shoulders. I get he needs to learn appropriate social skills and it is not ok without asking but the teacher made no effort to redirect or teach him quickly. Instead he was outside with his mom with no idea what he did. I was.livid."

"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 ."

"We love this place! We are newer members, and it has taken several classes for our 3yr old to warm up so far. She still has moments of hiding in a corner watching but the teachers are so patient and encouraging, she has really started to enjoy herself. I am also very thankful for their offering of Parent Survival Night, so Daddy and I can have a nice dinner together while she plays!"
