The Little Gym of Gaithersburg at Downtown Crown

"The teachers and staff here are wonderful and you can tell they love their jobs and are so dedicated to the gym and the gymnasts."

"I take my niece here, lovely facility. She has so much fun and learns from the teachers and the other children. If you have the chance to go to a class with teacher Leilani, do it! She is always so fun and has the most energy with the kids."

"We had our daughter’s joint birthday party here on February 26th (one turning 5 and the other turning 3). We were super excited after touring the facility because it was very clean, had a place for parents to observe their kids, and our party would a have full access to the entire gym (no one else would be there accept those invited to our party, which is hard to come by). The other thing we liked was that the facility took care of setting up and cleaning afterwards!! Fantastic. We were also told that they would serve the pizza and cake so that we would not have to worry about it (which is one of the reasons I can only give them a 4.5, discussed later). This was, in my opinion, by far the best birthday that we have had for our girls!! The staff that led the birthday party (ENTER HERE) was very high energy and the kids responded well and really liked the games. We chose a princess theme and it was decorated very well. They provided a juice box for each child and water to follow (number two reason that they did not get a 5, but luckily we had enough water for everyone). The games were engaging for the kids. The facility asked us if we wanted specific games and were very considerate about making sure what we wanted as far as that is concerned was provided. I forgot the candles (mom fail lol) and the staff was wonderful enough to find a few for us to use. They did let me know that it was my responsibility to bring the candles so this is not to point out something they did wrong, it is the point out how helpful they were. I feel like I am being picky here, but it is very expensive to rent a space for a party so I just want to be as transparent as possible for those who want to use this facility. Do not get me wrong, despite the list of cons to follow, this was one of my favorite places because the kids had such a blast…and in the end that is what it is about. So, to recap…. the facility was very clean, neat and organized. The staff was bubbly and engaging. The kids had a fantastic time. Our guests really enjoyed it and also want to book future parties here so do not discount them because of a few gripes. Cons 1. This facility does not provide paper products for adults (like many other facilities here)- We were ready for this, but because we ran out of stuff for the kids we had to dig into the adult supply so that is why I bring this up. PREVENTIVE MEASURE: Bring lots of plates, napkins/paper towels, and utensils 2. The Pizza- We were told that they would serve the pizza and that did not happen. I will say that a staff member did put a slice of pizza on a plate for each of the place settings, however somehow we had about 3 or 4 kids that did not have a chair or a place to sit. Again, this is not a huge disappointment because people inevitable bring additional people or forget to RSVP so were flexible with this. Also, we ran out of plates for the kids. PREVENTIVE MEASURE: Bring lots of plates, napkins/paper towels, and utensils. 3. The cake- it is hard to cut cake lol, so when the facility said that they would cut the cake and help serve it, I was so happy. This did not happen. I think this is one of the things I was most disappointed in because the parents of the guests had to jump in and help us cut and pass out the cake. If the staff would have helped a little bit more that would have been amazing. I also understand that some people may want to cut their own cake so again, this is personal preference and may not be a big deal for some. 4. Additional charges- This added up in the end so my advice would be to let people know that if they want to bring an additional child to the event that they would have to cover the additional cost (difficult to expect, slippery slope, etc.) or just be prepared and move on like we did lol."

"Great place! Melissa is a great instructor. Very clean. All the equipment and items like balls or shakers are cleaned after each class, also the mats. Easy to make-up a class if you can't go to your scheduled one. Just call beforehand and choose a class on a different day that's the age group for your child. There's circle time, free explore time, learn new skills, practice old ones, sometimes the air track (a soft trampoline type thing), sometimes parachute, and always bubbles at the end! Bubbles at least for the younger classes. I've only been to 2yr and under classes. We've mastered the balance beam, rings, forward flip, backward flip, some bar skills, and wheelbarrow to name several! Classes are about $30/class so a bit pricey."

"Absolutely love this gym. All the teachers my daughter has had have been amazing. It’s very clean, lots of energy, so motivating. My daughter has definitely come out of her COVID baby shell. We don’t live 30 minutes away and even though there are other franchises close by, we make the drive because we love the staff. Highly recommend"
