The Little Gym of Stevens Creek

My 2 year old daughter and I, LOVE The Little Gym! Her face lights up with joy every time we go. We tried a bunch of similar places and were really impressed with the quality of the staff here — so caring and passionate about childhood development. It seems expensive, but it’s really not in comparison + you’re in excellent hands. Its a great blend of singing, socializing, running around and trying new things.

Our twins have been coming here for almost two years, since they were two. The teachers are great and enthusiastic. The curriculum is fabulous. Our kids have learned a lot, and not just about gymnastics.

We just recently started to attend Little Gym. I’ve been a member of many gyms, but this gym treats you like family. The staff is hard working, supportive, friendly and enthusiastic. All the trainers are approachable and professional. I like that they do not push a kid to try new skills if the kid is really scared or shy. They encourage to gradually go outside of the comfort zone, but never force them. This approach works perfect on my daughter. She’s learning a lot: balance, interaction, participation in group, sharing. Thank you, Little Gym!

Both thumbs up for the lil gym. It is a great place for lil ones and the parents. The teachers are gentle and nice and very patient. My lo loves going coming here.

My son loves this place! He is in the Sporty Beasts class, and the staff are great… my husband and I have really learned a lot just from watching them interact with the kids. My son’s attention span isn’t so great, so he tends to run off and do his own thing most of the class, but the teachers are always patient and flexible. Really, really like how they focus on specific development milestones, and helping the little one’s try new things, building confidence. Easy, monthly payments online. Pretty hassle free from parents standpoint. T

My 3 year-​old son was a student here this year in the Super Beasts and Funny Bugs classes. I was really torn when my son wasn’t very much into the fun gym activities, songs, and dances the first few months and instead would do his own thing during class. I really appreciated the enthusiasm and patience of Miss Samantha (Sam) and her colleagues in rounding up my son and other mischievous little ones and getting them to participate. By the middle of the term, my son was enjoying his gym time and learning new skills. Don’t miss out on this great Lil’ Gym!

Zero stars.
NO refund whatsoever.
NO refund when the same owner shut down the Milpitas Little Gym.
NO refund when they cancel the Christmas party session at Stevens Creek after charging my credit card.
I am a fool to be scammed twice.
The owner and the management should be forbidden to run any business.

We recently had our daughter’s 5^th birthday party at Little Gym. My daughter and her friends absolutely enjoyed the party!!! Both Ms Kristina and Ms Ruth were fun, friendly and enthusiastic and did a great job organizing the kids activities. They were also great help in arranging the food and tables post the activities.

The Little Gym is such a family oriented and welcoming environment. How great is it to say that I get to have fun at work EVERY day. I love working at The Little Gym and look forward to seeing my students each week. Here is to many more years of Serious Fun and relationships that will last a life time! :D

My son has been going to the little gym for over a year. He loves it. The teachers are gentle, nice and patient. I am very happy my son likes coming here. Mr. Denis is the best!

I’ve been bringing my 4 year old daughter here for about 7 months now. She absolutely loves her instructors Miss Sam and Miss Danielle. She looks forward to her class every week and it’s helped build her confidence and socialization. We love Little Gym of Stevens Creek!

My twin almost-​4yo boys had attended about two months of classes here. The season is about to be over, but I’ve already enrolled them for the fall season because the classes here are great! The structure of class is as follows: 1) ~20 min of large group activity; 2) ~25 min of «stations»; 3) ~15 min of game and instructions. The lead instructor will also come out after the stations are over and debrief the parents on concepts the session was focusing on.
My kids currently go to a small home-​based daycare, which means they have limited experience with structured settings with many children. After reading the rave reviews and hearing about the class from a previous employee at another location, I decided to try it out. Although my boys are still shy during the large group activity and don’t really follow the instructors’ exact directions, they definitely have fun and now know that they can’t just wander off whenever they want to. They’re also getting more adventurous and brave, walking on the balance beam, doing somersaults, and even trying the high bar once in awhile (no flips yet, though).
I should also mention that my boys were born extremely premature, so physical development has always been a concern of mine. However, their prematurity also caused me to baby them more and be more cautious and wary of more adventurous play on a playground or around the house. Little Gym is a perfect balance for me because I know the instructors will keep them safe, but also will challenge them to try things they hadn’t thought of doing before. We can’t wait for the start of the new session!

This is a long over due review. My daughter who is now 6 started going to little gym before the age of one. My son who is now 3 and still attends LG has been going since he was around 8 months or so, around the time he was crawling. Both my kids have thrived at this place and we LOVE Mr. Dennis. My son looks forward to going every week because as he says it, «I like Mr. Dennis». He is a superior coach. He’s very skilled working with babies and toddlers. In fact, all the employees at this location are super friendly and provide great customer service. They are good about returning phone calls and assisting you with anything you need.
I also like that this location is wide and spacious, clean, and close to other businesses that I often go to afterwards (Safeway, a party store, and a pretty good sandwich shop next door). My mother in law who usually is the person that took/​takes my child also gives this place high marks for its convenient location (corner of Steven’s Creek and Lawrence Expressway), clean facility, great coaches and staff. It is a bit on the pricey end (approx. $ 400 per session) but I really believe they provide high quality programs for our children. I also appreciate their point system which allows you to use them for future classes. We were able to use them for one semester worth of classes. You build points every time you register for a class. You can apply these points to b-​day parties too.
The day my kids outgrow little gym will be a sad one… we love this place so much as I’ve seen my kids increase their sense of confidence, master certain skills like front roll-​overs, improve coordination, and is a great primer for preschool. I highly recommend this place and any class that Mr. Dennis teaches.
Lastly, I love how they do a «graduation» ceremony at the end of each session where the kids get to show off what they learned and receive a medal at the end. Such a great way of ending each class.

We recently celebrated our daughters 4^th birthday here and it was wonderful! We were able to arrive early in the day to have items stored, the staff sets the tables, cleans up, checks to see if the kids need assistance.
The first hour of the party the staff have the kids play games, and sample some of the activities that the Little Gym has to offer. What struck me most were the instructors abilities to get the kids moving, in a fun, safe environment.
Five Stars for the party.
Our daughter also took classes here and loved it too! She is all signed up for the next school year and we are looking forward to the experience.

We LOVE the Little Gym! My preschool aged daughter did the trial class, and was hooked from day one. It’s been fun to watch her skill level grow, and her confidence bloom with each class. It’s the one class we do each week where she doesn’t protest or fuss at all. In fact, she spends the week counting down the days until her next class here. Love the Parent’s Survival Nights – we’ve done two. It’s great for us, and great for her. Definitely going to keep on going, and planning on summer camps this year as well.
Love the staff, clean facilities, and a great physical curriculum that also teaches about letters, manners, chores, community heroes, etc. Fun learning in a physical and creative way. We have nothing but great things to say about Little Gym!

I had a groupon to check this place out. I’ve heard good things about the program. I decided to wait until she was 1 year old which was a good idea. She started walking before a year old and I think she got more out of it waiting until she walked.
It’s mid semester so I would like to wait until the new start. It is a bit pricey so we need to do this or swim, can’t do both.
Worthwhile for the lessons, exploring and mr. Dennis is very good. Patient teacher. Clean and varied program.
One of my friends, who also Unilocal liked the program but had issues with the financial side. He overall praised the program and me. Dennis. I’d return when I know its financially the right time.
Thanks for intro. My daughter and I enjoyed the fun structure!

My daughter went to the Little Gym for most of last year and part of this year. She loved it and it was a great experience. She went from Little Beasts then to Super Beasts. The instructors are really good and geniunely care about the kids. Mr. Dennis is very good. My daughter loves the curriculum and the play time in each class. I miss seeing her interact with all the other adorable kids. Thank you Mr. Dennis. This is the good part of the review and justifies the rating.
Here comes the bad part of the review. Money ended up being tight due to some financial setbacks. We were really hurting. We had previously pre-​paid for summer and fall of this year. Two weeks before the fall session started, I contacted the Little Gym and requested cancellation of the fall session. Person on the phone said that I made it before the deadline and I should receive my full refund.
My wife and spoke to Karen at the LG separately about four times since I think it was August. Excuses. «We’ll send a refund on your credit card soon… The owner said our month end is coming and we are a little delayed in getting your card refunded… There will be another little delay, how about we send you a check instead… Oh, we are so sorry. We are having trouble with our system and we should be getting a check out to you first thing Monday morning. You will be the first.» Lies, business lies, and customer service lies. We are now more than three months from my request. I called recently and the excuse was «The owner said the check was sent and we don’t know why you didn’t receive it. Let me check on it and call you back.» That was two weeks ago. One to NO Stars.
Businesses like this have NO excuse for lying to customers. I can understand a short delay but over three months is unacceptable.
Don’t go to the Little Gym if you change your mind and want a refund. You won’t get it. I am so busy with other things with work and personal business. I am really infuriated with the Little Gym’s owner (if there really is someone, who remain anonymous.) and Karen for continually lying to us about a refund check. Next steps will be totally warranted now.

I would love to give this place 5 STARS, but the prices are just a tad steeper than other establishment offering similar services. I’m a firm believer that you get what you pay for, so don’t be deterred from going here just based on price. Feel confident that you’re getting high quality care and coaching for the cost.
The coaches are all friendly, and I think it’s great that you can watch your kid through large glass windows — it also gives the kids a way to see you and remain calm! The training is very repetitious, which at times feels like nothing new is being taught … But it’s clear that kids (especially younger kids) need the repetition in order to learn. My daughter has found that she LOVES cartwheels, and we’ve noticed her balance has improved drastically after going here for two years now. She’s made friends, and looks forward to going each week. She also has participated in several summer camps.
All in all, you should feel confident taking your child here!

My wife and I first decided to see if Little Gym was right for my two-​year-​old son over the summer. We enrolled him in Ms. Karen’s Little Beast program, and he seemed to enjoy it. I noticed improvements, not only in his confidence, balancing, and willingness to try new things, but also in his social skills (interacting with other kids and the teacher).
After summer, we decided to sign him up for Mr. Dennis’s Super Beast program. Though the fees are on the pricey side, you can totally see what you’re spending your money on: awesome, caring teachers, clean facilities, a safe environment for playing and physical experimentation, and a structured program with defined goals.
The best part about Little Gym is definitely the teachers. Ms. Karen and Mr. Dennis are both fantastic; both were able to immediately win my son’s trust and confidence.

The bub was nearly 10 months and I decided she could do with some activity!
I took her in for a free class… and she loved it :) the facility was clean, the teachers very friendly and the class well structured!
Slightly pricey though!
