"We've been attending classes for three years, and my daughter loves it! The instructors are warm, playful and great with kids. I love that my daughter not only learns gymnastics skills, but she gets a chance to run and play active games with other kids her age. Highly recommended!"

"My son loves coming here for classes. We do the Birds class, and the coaches are very engaging and clearly enjoy their jobs. I love that they remember the kids' names and cheer them on even as the kids are exploring. Very safe and clean gym."

"We’ve been coming to TLG for a few months now and have nothing but great things to say! Everyone knows my son’s name as soon as we walk in the door and the instructors are all incredibly engaging. They do so well working with my son who can be a little standoffish LOL. We do the birds class and it’s such a fun way to bond with my son while also getting him out of the house and burning off some energy. We love it here and recommend them to everyone we know with kids!"
