The Little Gym

our story

For children ages 4 months to 12 years (and their parents), The Little Gym gymnastics programs help children learn and grow through movement and imaginative play.

About us

A History
of Serious Fun

An innovative educator, musician, and kinesiologist, The Little Gym founder Robin Wes envisioned a nurturing place where children could explore their physical development, while also growing socially, emotionally, and intellectually.

He opened the first The Little Gym in 1976 in Bellevue, Washington, and infused those early classes with the same positive, non-competitive spirit that characterizes us today. Over forty-five years later, children in more than 300 locations worldwide experience the benefits and SERIOUS FUN of The Little Gym.

What is Three-Dimensional Learning?

Our environment is fun, but our purpose is serious. That’s why we embrace a proprietary philosophy called Three-Dimensional Learning, in which physical activity is a conduit for nurturing your whole child. The Three-Dimensional Learning approach to skill development means that every class we offer fosters growth in three holistic dimensions—Get Moving, Brain Boost, and Citizen Kid. 

Get Moving

Developing flexibility, strength, balance, and coordination through varied physical activities and gymnastics skills.

Brain Boost

Nurturing listening skills, concentration and decision-making that benefit your child well beyond the gym.

Citizen Kid

Promoting sharing, teamwork, cooperation, and leadership through spending time with friends and peers.
