I am looking for gym/movement classes for my daughter and am wondering if anyone has experience with MyGym and Little Gym. Are they basically the same? What are any differences and do you have a preference for one over the other? The closest one to me is Little Gym on Tatum and Cactus in Scottsdale. Thanks!

What can I do next?

We've been very happy with The Little Gym. My daughter has been going since she was about 1 - she's 4 1/2 now and still loves it. My son is nearly 3 and has been going for a year or so and also loves it. I really like the teachers and I like that it is structured and they learn real skills, not just free play. I also like that there are lots of choices - dance, gymnastics, karate, etc. for my kids as they get older. It's a good way to try new classes without committing to the costume/recital madness of many dance studios, or the seriousness of competitive gymnastics.

We go to the one in Gilbert - I think the owners also own and run the Scottsdale location. Most places will let you do a trial class for free - check out both of them.

I have had my daughter in Little Gym quite a few times. We actually tried out MyGym and Little Gym and at Little Gym my daughter was wanting to participate whereas MyGym she wanted to stick right by us. I would say bring your daughter to both and try them out and you probably will get a good feel for which one is right. We finally stopped with Little Gym as she has gotten bored over the past year, but she's 2.5 now. I think it is really good for a 10mo old because it helps with their coordination, balance, etc. I think it's a good thing overall.

I would highly recommend the Little Gym. My son (who is now 22 mo)has been going since he was 4 months old. The instructors are very knowledgeable about child development, and what is safe for different ages as well as what are safe challenges for them to try.
From what I understand, My Gym is more of a play place and The Little Gym is more of motor skill development and overall development.
Have fun!

If I could work at The Little Gym I would!! Their mission statement is Motor Skill Development, Made Fun, Builds Confidence that Leads to a Lifetime of Success. (Yes I research the heck out of places I take my daughter!) If that's not every parent's wish for their child I don't know what is.
We attend classes at the PV (Cactus and Tatum) location and Miss Kim has become a great friend to my daughter. They taught her to crawl, then walk, be social and it gives me a chance to interact with other moms who are going through the same stages. I really like that they are curiculum based and not just free play. They explain to you WHY they do the different activities. Like Bubbles- yes it's fun but it teaches them hand eye coordination and spacial awareness. Too cool!
Go for the free class- you won't regret it!

My daughter enjoyed Little Gym, especially since she wasn't in daycare the first 1.5 years. Being with other children was great for her and she liked the activities.

There wasn't one close...so finally stopped when she started at a wonderful private school last fall. Felt she was getting similar activities and time with children her own age which is what I using Little Gym for during the past year.

You can try the class for free...I would suggest testing the different time slots you are interested in since there is a difference in instructors. My daughter always enjoyed it, but we definitely liked one instructor above all others.

Enjoy.
