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.

Everything was good except 7/8 of the time my daughter gets sick?

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 1.5 year old loves The Little Gym! The instructors are great and it's a good sized space for the kids to explore. Definitely recommend!

My little girl loves it. The instructors are so nice and caring. They emphasize learning and development. A great place to help your child develop social skills, and motor skills.

My four year old loves the giggle worms class and camp. Instructors are great and their makeup policy is appreciated. Highly recommend TLG!

Just hosted our 5year-olds bday here, today, and I would DEFINITELY do it again for the following reasons:1) budget friendly--you'd be hard-pressed to find a better deal in this area @ an indoor play-space 2) we had the whole facility to ourselves 3) throughout our entire process, every staff Member was professional, helpful, friendly & communicated effectively w/o exception even w/our last minute questions 4) short drive from our home (Capitol Hill/Navy Yard)5) ease of parking & general access to place @The Little Gym Proprietor & Staff--keep doing what you're doing! This picky D.C. mama was thoroughly pleased. THANK YOU.

My toddler and I tried out their class today, and I have to say that the staff was a dream! My little one didn't want to join in the activities and just felt like exploring the mats and beams most of the time, and the staff was totally accommodating, which made me feel great, bc it's such a stress when you feel like you have to make your kid do something. So many other sweet kiddos to interact with too!

Ms. Jess is amazing! Love her enthusiasm and energy during the little Bugs class. She really gives it her all. There's an awesome educational component to it that ties in all the senses, sign language, kinesthetic learning, etc.I was originally debating whether to enroll our 5.5 mo old during CV19, but after seeing how impeccable Little Gym is maintained, the masking, and parents socially distancing, I felt confident to enroll and get the membership after our first trial.My little babes had a great time seeing other babies (fiiinally), and I enjoyed meeting other parents, and having fun tumbling with my little cutie pie and introducing her to a fun environment.

Unfairness and Discrimination. I don't even understand how they are capable of doing that to those little ones ?.
