Our state-of-the-art facility, extensively trained staff, award-winning class programs, and excellent student/teacher ratio have earned My Gym the reputation as the best early learning program of its kind.

The thrill of accomplishment from achieving a physical task builds self-esteem and confidence that carry over into all aspects of a child’s life. Interaction with our highly trained staff provides children the opportunity to establish warm relationships with compassionate adults, thus raising their level of comfort as they begin preschool/kindergarten. Our My Gym Kids learn more about themselves as they develop independence, self-discipline, social skills and even a sense of humor, all of which lead to an increased feeling of self-worth. A child who feels good about him/herself has a jumpstart on the path to success.





What is MOST important to you?

***As you choose a program for your child, we know that quality, safety, cleanliness and your child's development are most important***

Physical, Cognitive and Emotional Development!
Your child will grow by leaps and bounds at MY GYM. Physical benefits include increase strength, balance, fitness, coordination and motor skills. MY GYM kids have the opportunity to develop socially, as they interact with their teachers and others their own age. Body awareness, teamwork concepts and valuable sports skills are gained naturally, as children advance through the classes. Perhaps the most important contribution we will make to your child's well-being is a greater leave of confidence and self-esteem. This is truly a special program that both you and your child are sure to love!

Quality Programs!
For a quarter of a century, MY GYM has continually enhanced and refined our programming geared to children's growing needs. During this time, we have established ourselves as the leader in our industry - now with more than 190 locations in 20 countries. What makes us the best? We never lose our focus on what is important: the experience we provide your child each week. As your child grows and progresses through our programs, we continually introduce new activities to challenge him or her accordingly. You can always count on a noncompetitive, nurturing experience - not to mention a totally fun-filled and exciting one too!

A Safe and Clean Environment!
We all want our little ones to be confident and safe when exploring their world. It is for this reason that MY GYM has maintained an industry-leading student-to-teacher ratio. In parent participation classes, moms and dads play a role in our safety policy with close supervision of their children.

Cleanliness is of the utmost importance. When MY GYM teachers are not in class having fun with your children, they are usually cleaning! Our rigorous cleaning process happens several times throughout the day. We strive to provide every child and parent with an environment that is as immaculate as possible. Whether attending the first class of the week or the last, you will find our facility spotless!

Classes & Programs:

The philosophy that guides My Gym’s programming and breakdown for classes has been developed through intensive physiological, psychological and sociological research, along with decades of hands-on experience by hundreds of My Gym child and fitness experts.

Our carefully constructed programs are constantly analyzed and adjusted according to up-to-the-minute advances in medical and psychological research. My Gym's main objectives are to ensure that program ingredients are safe, age-appropriate and optimal for building self-esteem.

***Parent Participation Classes - Designed to grow along with your child's rapid progress***

1. TINY TYKES - 6 Months to 13 Months
As the babies gain hand, arm and trunk control and become mobile, we introduce new and stimulating activities. Our experienced teachers are sensitive to the strong emotional attachment these little ones are developing with their mothers, and each parent/child unit is nurtured according to their specific needs.

Our Tiny Tykes and their parents are led through a variety of beginning stretches, exercises, infant songs and dances, baby-safe rides and adventures, balance and agility skills, and introductory tumbling during this 45-minute program. A relationship to movement and physical activity begins to develop, as our Tiny Tykes discover their natural abilities and enhance their physical and cognitive development.

2. WADDLERS - 14 Months to 22 Months
This stimulating 1-hour program introduces balancing, tumbling, hanging and agility skills, which helps the children develop a love of physical activity and a sense of pride in their achievements.

At this age, a child’s level of independent mobility will typically progress from aggressive crawling to running. Additional fine and gross motor skills developed during this stage include kicking a ball, building a block tower, riding a tricycle, and walking up stairs.

Our highly trained instructors shower the children with affection, as they guide our Waddlers in early social skills through interactive songs, choreographed dances, age-specific puppet shows, special rides, and a variety of swings and other original activities.

3. GYMSTERS - 23 Months to 2.5 Years
The gross motor abilities of early 2-year-olds are often characterized by more confident running, jumping on two feet, and an overall improved spatial awareness of their bodies. This is the earliest age group with which we work on fine and gross manipulatives in a structured format, as the 2 to 2 1/2-year-olds’ attention span grows, allowing the child to focus for longer periods of time.

During this 1-hour program, the youngsters are elated as they sing, dance, swing, play games, watch puppet shows, take turns on special rides, and have “Surprise Time!” Our Gymsters feel great about themselves as they learn gymnastics in a constantly changing program with fresh ingredients and new equipment setups each week.

4. TERRIFIC TOTS - 2.5 Years to 3 Years
In addition to having fun with structured games, fascinating Adventures, and pre-gymnastics, our Terrific Tots learn beginning sports skills, gain fine and gross motor proficiency, and strengthen manipulative skills.

The youngsters become more independent as teachers are now interacting more directly with them. Parental involvement is gradually decreased through inviting activities with love and understanding, and the children exude pride and self-esteem as they are treated like “big kids.”

In this age group, teaching physical skills is a top priority. During this 1-hour program, the development of social skills is also emphasized, as the youngsters become good listeners, follow directions, cooperate in a group, and learn more about themselves.

***Independent Classes - Created to teach fitness, as children develop physically, cognitively and emotionally***

1. MIGHTY MITES - 3 Year to 4.5 Years
With greater independence comes the ability to participate without the parent, and our Mighty Mites are lavished with positive reinforcement for self-reliance and following directions.

Strength, flexibility, and agility are increased, as our teachers introduce gymnastic skills with the safest spotting techniques and communication through language geared to build self-esteem and confidence. Sensitive to peer pressure, these 3-year-olds are nurtured so tenderly and always with a success-oriented approach.

Relays, more complex games, and beginning sports skills lead to increased strength, enhanced manipulative ability, and improved hand-eye coordination during this 1-hour program.

2. WHIZ KIDS - 4.5 Years to 6 Years
These children are now ready to refine and master basic gross motor skills such as running, jumping, hopping, skipping, throwing, kicking and catching. Designed to prepare a child for group sports and instill a sense of confidence in connection with physical activity, our Whiz Kids program emphasizes each of these important skills.

The children build strength, balance, agility, flexibility and coordination in this 1-hour program, as our instructors maintain a positive, supportive and noncompetitive atmosphere. Our Whiz Kids are showered with praise as they develop perseverance and self-control.

3. CHAMPIONS - 6 Years to 8 Years
This is the first age group at My Gym where perfecting form and mastering sports and gymnastic skills become priorities. During this 1-hour program, the children learn to work hard and aim toward a goal. As with all our older classes, the Champions program is fast-paced and completely structured with organized ingredients throughout the hour.

Many of our Champions are involved in organized sports in parks and schools or study dance or martial arts. This class introduces a wide range of physical skills and cooperative group activities in preparation for these outside activities. We emphasize effort, diligence and a spirit of camaraderie, as our Champions are taught the meaning of fair play and teamwork.

4. KARATE/MARTIAL ARTS - 4 Years and Up
My Gym Karate incorporates all the protocol and discipline of a more traditional martial arts studio, but in a unique and fun manner for our students. The physical benefits are profound, as children practice kicking, punching, blocking, yelling, stretching, running and jumping during each interactive class.

In addition, our students grow emotionally and learn about respect, discipline, self-control, concentration and goal setting, as we instill these values employing the distinctive and fun My Gym method. The program is progressive, using belt promotions as the strong motivator. As children get older, their training becomes more serious and intense, but always fun!

***Special Programs and Activities***

1. OPEN GYM (Currently Enrolled Members)
Families will enjoy special times laughing, loving, learning and playing together during Open Gym sessions at My Gym. Children build important developmental skills and heighten their sense of wonder and discovery in a free form, fun-filled unstructured setting. Parent-child bonding is nourished as everyone has a great time!

2. PARENTS' NIGHT OUT - 2 Years to 9 Years
Need an evening without the kids? My Gym’s Parents’ Night Out gives our parents the opportunity to take a well-deserved break. Go out for a night on the town feeling confident that your little ones are safe and having the time of their lives with their favorite My Gym teachers.

This incredible evening for your children is filled with a variety of fun games, rides and activities, and they won’t want the night to end! And don’t worry about food – we’ll take care of that too!!

3. CAMPS - 2 Years to 7 Years
My Gym camp is simply the best! Children participate in energizing fitness games, noncompetitive gymnastics, arts and crafts, music and so much more. Each camp program is uniquely designed to keep your children moving and active, as we emphasize physical development and personal success. Our themes and programs change daily, so no two camp days at My Gym are ever the same.

Whether you are looking for the best place to send your children on cold and rainy days or trying to keep them active and cool during the hot summer months, My Gym camp is the place to be. We make it easy for parents with our drop-off program, pay-by-the day options, and multi-day and sibling discounts.
