Specialties
The Little Gym of Park Meadows is a small family owned business that offers classes for children 4 months to 12 years of age. At The Little Gym of Park Meadows, we take a holistic «Three-Dimensional Learning» approach to gymnastics and skill development. This philosophy is based on three core tenets: «Get Moving» to foster flexibility, strength, balance and coordination; «Brain Boost» to nurture listening skills, concentration and decision making; and «Citizen Kid» to promote sharing, teamwork, cooperation and leadership abilities.
Our goal is to provide a nurturing place where children can explore their physical development, while also growing socially, emotionally and intellectually. We use gymnastics, karate, dance, and sports as our medium to support this growth.
History
Established in 2009.
The Little Gym of Park Meadows was founded in March 2009 and is owned by Scott and Cari Risby. After years of dreaming of owning their own business and exploring many different business opportunities, Scott and Cari decided that they wanted to do something that made a difference and had a positive impact on people and their community. Once they found The Little Gym, they knew they had found their calling.
Scott and Cari moved The Little Gym of Park Meadows in January 2013 to new location only minutes down the street.
Meet the Business Owner
Scott R.
Business Owner
Scott and Cari Risby received their degrees in Business from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Scott went on to a career in Marketing and International Business, while Cari went on to earn her Masters Degree in Elementary Education and teach First Grade. However, both look back on their extensive childhood experiences in sports and athletics as key building blocks in making them the people they are today. Scott learned leadership and teamwork skills as the captain of his high school baseball team and learned the importance of determination as he qualified for and completed the Boston Marathon. Cari learned about teamwork and the ability to overcome obstacles as she and her soccer team traveled to Europe to compete. Therefore, both Scott and Cari feel so fortunate to be have opened their own The Little Gym, so the children of Douglas County and the surrounding area can learn those lessons and more in a fun, non-competitive and nurturing environment.
