Great gym! We took our 1 year old daughter here for open play on a cold Sunday morning. What a great activity to do in the winter, instead of being cooped up inside. So many fun activities at the gym. We will definitely be back!

We had a joint birthday party for my girls two in December 2024, aged 8 and 6 years old. My girls and their friends had a great time with the bouncy house, trampoline, rock climbing wall, and ball pit. The favor add ons (personalized water bottle with the names of each guest) were a huge hit with the kids and parents! Robyn and Danny at FunFit were very accommodating and nice. Thank you for a great time!

We celebrated by 3 years old birthday party here this weekend and we had a fabulous and easy time! Each stage of the process was simple and streamlined. Robyn answered my emails promptly and her husband was at the location for me to see the space and he led the party. The team was even able to reschedule the party the morning of when my kid woke up sick. I highly recommend them!

Phenomenal birthday venue—my 3-year-old and his school friends (ages 1-5) had an amazing time. The owner went above and beyond, creating an engaging obstacle course for the kids and even speaking some Hebrew, which we all appreciated. The adults had a great experience too. This place stands out for its warmth and flexibility, unlike other venues that strictly enforce a 90-minute slot and rush you out. Overall, a perfect 100/100!

There's simply no other camp my son wants to attend! A great place for creativity and play, we've been taking him to FunFit Kids for years and are having a wonderful summertime there now — it's like a sensory gym filled with engaging activities, talented coaches, delightful peers + the option of swim lessons. I love the mixed age range of children, seeing their social skills develop, and how the new West End location is so close to Riverside Park's enchanting Hippo Playground and Dinosaur Playground that they frequent. Just can't say enough about this terrific neighborhood gem.
