The Little Gym of Chicago is a movement-based learning center dedicated to the holistic development of children aged 4 months to 12 years. Founded by innovative educator Robin Wes in 1976, The Little Gym offers a safe and nurturing environment where children can explore physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth through gymnastics and imaginative play. With a focus on Three-Dimensional Learning, the programs at The Little Gym aim to develop flexibility, strength, balance, coordination, teamwork, cooperation, leadership, and social skills.
From parent-child classes for infants to gymnastics programs for preschoolers and grade school children, The Little Gym provides a supportive and positive community for both children and parents. Through a proprietary philosophy that emphasizes physical activity as a conduit for nurturing the whole child, The Little Gym helps children build confidence and skills at each stage of childhood. With over 45 years of experience and more than 300 locations worldwide, The Little Gym continues to offer SERIOUS FUN while promoting growth in three holistic dimensions: Get Moving, Brain Boost, and Citizen Kid.
Aside from gymnastics programs, The Little Gym also offers themed birthday parties such as the Llama Llama™ Awesome Birthday Adventure and The Very Hungry Caterpillar™ Birthday Adventure. Committed to improving the lives of children globally and in local communities, The Little Gym’s philanthropic and sustainability program, Big Hearts, seeks to positively impact communities and ensure a safe and healthy environment for children to thrive.
