The Little Gym of Durham-Chapel Hill

Very fun classes and summer camps, and a fabulous place for Birthday Parties!
We’ve had 5 parties here over the past 3 years for kids ranging 3 – 6 years old. And every party has been tons of fun. All you need to bring is a cake and party favors, and they order pizza, entertain the kids and take care of the clean up.
My kids have taken sports and gymnastics classes and summer camp here and the teachers have been great.
The only downside was that at Gymboree, all 3 of my kids could take class together, whereas here, each class is only for a very narrow age range, so my kids would all be in separate classes. That was too hard to schedule, so one of them isn’t taking class here anymore. But overall, we love Little Gym, and my kids are excited for more camp and classes this summer.

I held my daughter’s 3-​year birthday here, and it was fun and perfect for the age group. Since then, we joined as members, and my daughter continues to take weekly classes. She is now almost 5. She loves the gymnastics, and I’ve watched her skills grow. She is excited and happy to go to class. We have not yet taken advantage of the Parent Survival nights, but this is another great option. The employees are very friendly and fun with great skills working with kids of various ages. Love this place!

My 5 year old daughter and I love this place! The teachers are very nice and friendly and they do a great job with the kids. My daughter absolutely loves her teacher Emily and wakes up very early every Sunday to get ready for her class. She has tried many different things like swimming and soccer but this has been the only place where she has liked it and she has learned so much in such a short period of time. I highly recommend this place for your kids… I promise they’ll love it as well!

VERY cool place! I brought my 17-​month-​old here (Birds class, 10 – 19 month-​olds) to try their intro class (for $ 15), and had a great time. Greeted as we walked in the door, and I didn’t have many expectations for what the kids would be doing but I was pleasantly surprised!
First off, the facility is very clean and well-​kept. The staff was very nice and professional as well. The class size at this class had maybe 8 or so parent/​toddler pairs, so it wasn’t chaotic in the least. There is a good structure to this class, and I was impressed to see they integrated lessons beyond physical skills, such as social greetings, helping others, etc. I was afraid at first because my toddler doesn’t like to sit still, and we were all sitting in a circle for the first portion (when all she wanted to do was run around). It was great when the teacher let them go off and explore the area. The time frame and length for the whole class was perfect; right before afternoon nap, and their class times are different each day of the week to help accommodate kids’ nap times! Wonderful!
The gym space itself was quite impressive, too. Lots of wedges, balance beams, bars, blocks for the kids to explore on. There’s even a mini rock wall and slopes for sliding, as well as other lesson tools such as parachutes, balls, hula hoops, tunnels, etc. It was a great experience, the schedule is accommodating to most kids’ routines, and the pricing doesn’t seem to be terrible.
I do wish that they offered a free trial vs. an introductory $ 15 class — that’s what kept us away from trying this class months ago (but my child’s recent affinity to climbing is making me look for new options)! Will definitely consider joining!

I was a big fan of Gymboree and was very disappointed that they closed, but now I am happy that they did because I found The Little Gym. I feel that my son and daughter are getting more out of their classes here. My 8 month old daughter loves her class. I thought that the class for her age group was going to be for the parents to get out and socialize, but to my amazement, the kids in the 4 to 10 month class love playing with their peers and the teacher for the class is awesome.
I had my son’s third birthday party there as well. All the children had a blast. I plan on having his forth birthday party there again. It was nice to have the instructors leading the children in play while the adults got to relax and watch their children have fun. Plus there is no clean up. It’s an easy and fun birthday party.
