Gymboree Play & Music

Excellent location and staff. My son has come to various classes to find the best one for him and Heather and the staff are very accommodating and friendly, as hopefully all instructors are. M
It’s a highlight of my week to see how much fun this is for my son.

Really great for kids teachers are great it’s all around a wonderful experience my kids have been in Gymboree for a little over 2 years and it has been great for there interaction with other kids

I love this place they are so friendly and kind perhaps a bit too rigid on the learning but that is the class. I will be returning.

I’ve been taking my daughter here regularly since she was about a year old. She’s 2 ½ now and she still loves it just as much as when she first started her classes! I agree with the other Unilocalers Heather is the best teacher, she truly has a great personality and really gets all the toddlers to participate which can be quite challenging at times for the other teachers. I wish she could teach all the classes but the other ones are ok too. I love that the classes tie in with gymbucks that’s a plus for our family! The play area is clean and I’ve seen ladies come in during class to wipe down the gym equipment which is a huge deal to me especially bc kids pass sicknesses around so quickly, thanks gymboree !

My son has been attending class here since before he can walk. We love it here, and with the recent upgrade to the facility it’s even nicer to play in. They change the configuration of the room every few weeks, so it’s never boring.
The staff is great… we especially love Ms. Heather, my hubby says he enjoys her tone when she sings. There is something in her voice that’s very fun and inviting.

I took my 1^st daughter to Upland Gymboree from age 6 months until she graduated at age 3 years. I’m currently taking my 2^nd daughter there as well, she has already been there for 4 months. My experiences have been great. The staff, especially Teachers Liz and Heather, are phenomenal. They offer excellent advice, and they are interactive with the little ones. My 1^st daughter, now 6 years old, still adores the teachers. Gymboree is a wonderful way to get children to socialize with others their age, and to motivate them to be physically active. I would recommend Gymboree to any parent.

I would give more stars, if I could!
We took our daughter to Gymboree Play and Learn when she was 9 months old until she was 3 years old. She loved, loved, LOVED it! Teacher Heather is the best. I am a teacher also, so my expectations are quite high and she surpassed all of them. My daughter is now 5 years old and she still talks about Teacher Heather. She draws pictures for her and asks me to mail them to her. Her drawings are quite good, which I think is due to the art class that I enrolled her in at 3 at Gymboree. I recommend the art classes, as well.
Check out Gymboree. They offer a free trial class. A reviewer mentioned that it’s not worth the price. I disagree! I’ve recommended Gymboree to many of my friends, and their kids had so much fun. My daughter was so happy at Gymboree. I remember when we told her she was too old for Gymboree and couldn’t go anymore, she was very upset. :(
Gymboree has given us many wonderful memories. It’s a good place for parents (especially first-​time moms) and their little ones!

I have taken my son to the Gymboree on Tuesday nights for almost 4 months now. My son (19 months old) and I love this class. Miss Heather is one of the best people I know to teach a class like this. It is incredible how active she is with these kids, everyone feels included and she remembers everyone’s name without using name tags!
My son knows when it’s time to go to Gymboree and he gets so excited. He has improved so much in so many areas. He is around adults all day and going to this class has helped him get acclamated to other children. He has learned to sign (which is so helpful), climb, jump, balance, share (still working on that) and so many other things. He has even made new friends
I would recommend this class to all new parents. I would give it more stars if i could!

I attended a free class at this Gymboree whn my baby was 5mo. It was very nice, clean, and the teacher seemed very knowledgeable about babies. As a new 1^st time mommy, the instructor really gave me some helpful advise. I think she may hv been a retired nurse.
I then attended a free class at MyGym in Rancho Cucamonga. In comparison with Gymboree, it was like «nigh & day». MyGym had (and always has) at least 2 instructors regardless of class size. The instructors are very active, outgoing and playful with the kids. There was more to do at MyGym also. At MyGym they have a ball pit (which they clean weekly), many climbing structures, trampoline, toys, bubbles, parachute, one on one obstacle courses, and various gymnastics. They also have song, dance, puppet, and kids only (turtle time) activities.
Gymboree was more of s sing, music, parachute, and puppet play. They have play structures there that are soft and cutesy and a little bridge, but its not very challenging or promotes growth of skills.
I like that Gymboree is more well lit. Thats mainly because it has an all glass wall with a view of the parking lot. MyGym is darker inside and the carpet is darker.
I guess if you are a very cautious parent who wants to make sure your kid definitely will not fall climbing tall structures, run around and be chased for fun, explore on their own sometimes, and learn sharing and other social skills, and have the instructor sit in one place singing and shaking instruments, then you should choose Gymboree.
If you want instructors who are more active and not sit in one place singing songs, but act like kids themselves (yet very responsible), and challenge your kids with different activities each visit, different games, songs, and etc, then MyGym is for you.
I tried to give Gymboree one more chance now that my baby is 2yrs old and she loved playing with the new toys and all, but afterwards was still hyped to do something else. Maybe my child is just super hyper and needs more. Who knows. But, I ended up taking her to MyGym to have «free play» after the light «warm up» at Gymboree.
Both are great places for kids. Both are a little costly (Mygym $ 65 monthly/​Gymboree $ 75 monthly). It all depends on your and your child’s preference.
My preference is MyGym and I decided to continue at MyGym.

I have attended this location for many years and the program is absolutely fantastic! They have age appropriate classes with play time, parachutes, bubbles, lap rides and gymbo! The staff is very friendly and the facility is clean. Every time we drive by Gymboree my child always screams out Gymbo! I definitely recommend going to Gymboree of Upland. You guys rock!

Our experience with the Upland Gymboree facility is the worst there is among all the other Gymboree locations we have enrolled in the past. The owner and the staff does not have the heart to help us when we enrolled our 3 year old son hoping for him to grow out of separation anxiety. Our son was taken to a separate room from the rest of the class, and he would cry whenever our car pulls up to the parking lot. After explaining the situation, we had no choice but to discontinue his current enrollment after 3 months of enrollment. An email was sent for cancellation on 6÷22÷11, but our contract’s monthly billing date was on the 21^st of every month. They have immediately debited our CC on file on the 22^nd. The staff did not explain to us that we would be losing a month if we decide to cancel. The owner offered 4 free classes to compensate but we simply refused. It is only for a small amount of $ 81, but they have lost us as a customer for life.
