This is a cute little gym, and we wanted to love it unfortunately, despite their mission statements and what's presented upon signing up, it doesn't at all align with gentle parenting and we were faced with some rude, pushy and consecending teachers (I will add some were absolutely WONDERFUL too!). If you are into gentle/attachment parenting this isn't the gym for you. Upon joining, we were assured and assured we could help ease our nervous 3 year old into the class with several options but turns out if she's upset and needs to come out, it's a problem. After attempting to coach her in ourselves, we were approached and told rather rudely that we needed to move to the back so she can't see us while remaining out of her view and to "just leave her and go get coffee" while our daughter who is terrified of new places, screams and cries. I was appalled. Not only is this not our parenting style at all, it's also not at all how they made it seem the acclimation period would be. Today was her last class and the teacher tried to force my crying daughter to stay in, standing in front of the door, pushing her away where I clearly came to escort her out to leave (neither my daughter nor myself were opening the door ourselves at this time, I was motioning I wanted her out because she was clearly terrified and the teacher rolled her eyes at me)

My children know they ALWAYS have the ability to come to me if they are afraid or nervous, PERIOD. Now, I'm certain the employees will respond to this review and explain the need for limited interruption to the class - I totally respect that. I understand classes need a flow and kids coming in and out frequently can disrupt that. However I think they're forgetting some of these little kids have never been around others like this before and this is brand new and scary for them. A little grace and compassion goes a long way and sadly I felt it lacking at Little Gym of Smyrna.

Awesome place for classes AND parties! Our daughter did the 18 month old classes & loved her time with the kids/instructors. We also just had her 2nd Birthday Party at this location & had a great time! Fair prices, open gym for her friends with plenty of room for parents. The staff was extremely helpful & did most of the set up & clean up! Paper plates, plastic ware, table cloth & seating for the kids is all provided. Thanks so much!!!

We have such a fun time in Mrs. Amber's class! My daughter has blossomed in the year we have been taking classes and I'm so proud of all her accomplishments! We just had her 3rd Birthday party here and it completely exceeded my expectations! There were plenty of instructors and staff members on hand and they insisted that I didn't lift a finger to set up, serve food, clean or pack up! I was able to visit with our invited guests and have fun with my daughter and husband at her party! SO THANKFUL for such a great experience!

I think their classes are overpriced but my kids have had tremendous fun when attending birthday parties here. I especially like this location because it is intimate and quaint. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They take their sanitation seriously and I appreciate the cleanliness!

Organized, and the kids stay occupied. Set up and clean up is done. It helped so much that the staff served the food, and cuts the cake. I did not have to worry about anything. They packed everything up at the end of the party. It was great!

My kids love the little gym. My one year old is becoming more confident in moving around and beginning to walk on his own. Ms Destiny always encourages him to do his best and be brave. My three year old loves the jazzy bug class. She loves her teachers and learning dance techniques and going into the gym. This was a great gift idea that my mother n law blessed us with. We have enjoyed the summer session.

I love how organized The Little Gym team is. We've hosted our child's birthday twice at the little gym of Smyrna, and would absolutely have our children's parties there again. Other parents were asking me how I found this awesome venue! I love that it's an active, fun time where the kids are all together. Having the area completely booked for the birthday party is great. Team members, both years we had our parties, were sweet, engaging, helpful to us as parents trying to set up food etc. They literally take care of everything. The Dora and Princess themes are also lovely. Other themes available too. Many thanks to a fun, energetic and consistently professional team at the little gym.

We love the little gym! Ms Blair is amazing. Patient, kind, enthusiastic, encouraging, fun, supportive... I could go on all day! The facility is clean, inviting, and safe. Oscar has developed his gross motor skills as well as patience. We look forward to class and practice time every week.

I have loved The little gym since Oliver started almost 2 years ago. The teachers are wonderful! Ms Kate, Ms Destiny and Blair are wonderful teachers with kind hearts who truly care for the kids! My son has exceeded and has gained more confidence over the years. He liked it so much we added one more class a week! Can't say enough good things about TLG! Thank you team and Jane!

My 7 year old daughter loved her birthday bash. The staff is very friendly. Everything was set up for us when we arrived.
My daughter is already planning her next birthday at The Little Gym!

We loved that everything was turn key and handled! My 2 year old son loved it, the instructors led everything and kept the kids entertained. It was very nice to have the facility to ourselves and our guests only. I would recommend adding an additional half hour as to not feel as though the party is rushed, we did and it was perfect! I would definitely recommend The Little Gym Smyrna for any party.

Staff is awesome. Structured classes, but toddlers can also do their own thing if they want to. My son loves it!!!! He looks forward to every class.

We had an introductory class for our kid (4 years). Nice instructors who knows the wavelength of kids. We tried dance and gym for him which he liked gym most.

We held my son's 2nd birthday party at The Little Gym of Smyrna and could not have been more pleased with the experience. From the time we walked in the door until all presents were loaded in the car, the staff handled every important detail with a smile. I can't think of an easier party to throw. My son and his friends absolutely loved the gym equipment and planned activities. I loved the service, having the gym to ourselves, dedicated party room and the tremendous value for what we paid. Highly recommend!

We had a GREAT time at Hadley's Princess Birthday Party. The kids had a blast playing in the gym and it was super easy for us to just bring cake and snacks and not have to worry about any set up or clean up.

I Love it! It teaches my daughter Trust, Independence, and Confidence. Instructors are so welcoming and caring here.
