The Little Gym of Houston-Memorial

We recently held my son's birthday party here, and it could not have gone better. The ladies who were working on the date of his birthday party, 3/2/24 were so helpful in setting up the table prior to our arrival, and made everything look better than I would have! They were attentive, friendly, and professional. The Little Gym was spotless, and all the parents and kiddos were happy. We will definitely have more birthday parties here.

I found this gym through an online internet search. They offer a $20 introductory class to those who are interested in learning more about the gym and possibly becoming a member. My daughter is 5 and there were about 6 girls total in this particular class and 3 instructors (high schoolers who work there). They do spray everything down but not really thoroughly. The class is an hour long and they perform different activities. Since there were 3 instructors and 6 kids it would've been productive for each instructor to take on 2 kids each and give those 2 kids undivided attention, however that was not the case. One girl barely interacted with the girls instead I saw her several times checking her watch like she couldn't wait for the class to be over. The instructor would show the kids what to do one time and expect 6/7 year Olds to remember it. At times I would see my daughter just standing there unsure of what to do and the girls who work there are just standing there. No encouragement or lack thereof. Little support and minimal engagement. Towards the end they did seem to be more engaged with the kids. My daughter seemed to have fun and that's all that matters. However I don't think I would enroll my child here due to the girls working there who seemed very uninterested at even being there.

I was going to enroll my son in this place but wanted to voice a concern I had with how many exposed metal beams they had. He had tripped and almost went head first into a metal beam but I caught him. I was still going to enroll as I was speaking to the girl who worked there when the owner rushed out of the office and asked me what the issue was. When I told her she said “I think this is too much for you and maybe it’s not the right place for you”. She was very rude and snobbish it was completely unnecessary. For someone who owns a business that deals with children she does not know how to deal with concerned parents or constructive criticism. I was simply seeking reassurance on the safety of the location, and suggesting a safety measure that could help parents feel much safer, instead she got defensive and told me to go elsewhere. This place is definitely not safe for toddlers who are just learning how to walk. I visited other gyms that have all their metal beams wrapped with padded mats. Try KIDSTRONG, they have great customer service and are very involved with the children.

We love The Little Gym Memorial! Ms. Catherine is our teacher and she is fantastic. My little one is toddler age and so enjoys our weekly sessions, he’s learning so much and amazes me with his new skills and abilities. The gym is bright and spacious as well very clean and well maintained. The ladies at TLG are diligent with cleaning between classes and encouraging hand sanitizer use which is so important these days!

We love this Little Gym! We’ve been coming here for years, and we are so happy with it. The teachers are upbeat and awesome (we love Ms. Maya and Ms. Kayla), the space and equipment are great, and the kids have so much fun and get great exercise. Awesome place!
