I've had 3 birthday parties over the years here for my children. It is a fantastic place- the staff is amazing and the kids have a wonderful time, and the adults actually get to talk to each other. I wouldn't go anywhere else to have a kid's birthday.

Wonderful gym space for children to get their energy out while playing a bit with their peers and learning the concept of a class and listening to instructions and learning rules sometimes.

Booked my daughter’s 4th year birthday at MyGym (83rd street location). Everything from the initial contact (answering questions), booking, planning (getting organized leading up to the event), and actual event was amazing! It was stress free and the communication was clear. Most importantly, the kids all had a blast!!

My son really enjoys coming to classes here! Millie and the other instructors are so kind and friendly. Price is good compared to other classes in the area because of the unlimited Practice and Play sessions you can add to the weekly instructor-led class. Would definitely recommend :)

I truly can’t talk more highly about how phenomenal my families experience with MYGYM on 83rd has been. Each visit is so fun, exciting, and the classes have helped both my kids immensely. A BIG shout out to MILLIE who has been with us since the beginning she is so prompt in responses and supportive in every way possible- thanks to her I was always able to get into open plays even on a last minute basis. I would recommend this to anyone; hands down one of the best decisions we have made joining the MYGYM family
🫶🏼❤️ WE LOVE YOU

We love My Gym! Our daughter is a very active toddler who gets bored easily and she absolutely loves her Waddlers classes. The space is well-thought-out, clean, modern, and the instructors are very caring/involved.

We have been coming to this location for over a year and I’m sad we didn’t start sooner. The instructors are absolutely amazing - warm, engaging, helpful, and very helpful/professional with the administration. My kid is a loud handful and they not only helped him they recommended different times that let him thrive. I couldn’t be happier!! He loves it here so much we go daily and even when the weather is nice, we go before or after the park. Very grateful to have this place - well worth every penny!

MyGym E 83rd St is truly a special place! My 22 month old daughter has been attending classes here for the past year and absolutely loves it, as do my husband and I. All of the instructors are fantastic and so invested in each child's wellbeing and development. Furthermore, the facility is always immaculate and well organized. We feel so lucky to have such a wonderful program in our neighborhood.

A baby mouse roaming around in this gym that is meant for babies! Disgusting and very unsafe especially for the babies. So sad and shameful to those parents who put their children in this trusting that the place is safe from these rodents. Disgusting!!!

My two daughters have enjoyed MyGym over the last year and a half. Its been a great outlet for them to get their energy out throughout the winter and on rainy days. The staff has been wonderful with scheduling assistance and make ups. There are other gyms in the neighborhood however the flexibility of MyGym with unlimited open plays make it the best value.

We joined my gym just as my son was turning 10 months old. He had little exposure to other people/babies at the time as we had been terrified of covid. From the start, Finn was always happiest at My Gym. From the moment he walked in, he was always proud to show us all the things he could do! My nanny would send us videos of Finn trying to crawl up a ramp and the message would say, one day he'll do it and then one day he did! I remember when the gym emailed and said Finn was ready for the Waddlers. He was just 1 and I thought, but he's not even walking... Just a few sessions in - he was walking! My son really grew up and developed so well here and I would recommend this class to any new mom in the city - it’s great for adventure, socialization, testing new skills and gaining confidence!

When we moved, my almost 2 year old had a gap period in daycare which was really not working from him, you could see he felt lonely and was craving the interaction with other children and some semi-structured play time in a safe and fun environment. We were so lucky to find MyGym. Ms Lauren, Mr Chris and the rest of the staff are amazing, the space is great and clean, and the fun for a toddler is real. My son is so excited everytime we go and even just walking by it makes him smile. Absolutely recommended!

Lauren is a wonderful teacher! I originally thought of tumbling class as a way for my toddler to release energy, but, it turns out, Lauren’s tumbling class is so much more! My son gets to practice listening skills, following directions, transitioning from one activity to the next, waiting for his turn, cheering his peers on, and developing strength. The tumbling class at My Gym has become a very important part of his development. I couldn’t be more pleased with the class and with Lauren.

I took my granddaughter (2.5 years old) to a class at MyGym recently and was very impressed. Liz and Lauren were very accommodating of a personal situation. They were warm and welcoming to Brie and to me. She loved the routine and the challenge of the activities, and I appreciated the encouragement for her to try new things, as well as their focus on cleanliness and safety.

My son has attended My Gym for the past four months and it’s been such a great experience for him. I chose my gym initially because it is a great value. I compared my gym with other similar children’s gyms in the area and my gym had the best schedule of classes and offered unlimited practice and plays, which other gyms did not. My son (and I) love the practice and plays. They are a great way to blow off steam and enjoy some open ended play. The teachers do a fun short puppet show at the end which is adorable.

My gym also has such enthusiastic, warm, fun teachers. They seem to really enjoy working with children and have such positive attitudes. They greet them by name warmly at the beginning of class and remember things about your child. One day my son was being cranky and one of the teachers (Miss Melanie) took apart one of the play structures they had put together to give my son the ladder piece because she knew he loved it so much.

I find that the classes have just the right level of challenge and the teachers respect children’s boundaries. They encourage them to try new things but don’t push or force. The classes start out with a short circle time (about 5-10 minutes I believe which seems developmentally appropriate) with a warm up, skill, and song/game and then breaks into stations that switch out every 10 minutes or so. During the stations, they are encouraged to participate and try the activity but also able to explore freely if they choose.

I have also appreciated their flexibility during our time there. My son is a bit of a spicy pickle and went through a tough phase during teething and kait (the assistant manager) worked with us to find a setting that would work for him (that ultimately meant joining a weekend class so my husband could join and tag team). Luckily he quickly grew out of it and blossomed.

Thank you so much to my gym for giving my son such a wonderful first gym experience! We look forward to being members for years to come!

We absolutely LOVE My Gym! My son (21 months) has been taking these classes since he was about 6 months old - the classes are never 2 of the same and there is always room for him to grow into the next level with more fun challenges.

We take about 4 different enrichment classes weekly and My Gym takes the cake for the #1. The whole family knows the words to the My Gym welcome song because he asks us to sing it again and again :)

Our daughter has been enrolled here since she was about 13 months, and recently turned 3. It's been amazing to see her develop physically of course, but what has also been so special is how the team here takes care to make this a real community. We threw her 3rd birthday part here and I just can't say enough great things about the experience. The team made it easy to plan and kept everything safe and fun (all the kids had a blast) but it was also clear that they put a lot of thought and genuine caring into planning the activities of the party itself, since they know and care about our daughter. It was truly special, not that I would have expected anything different given our great experiences with them over the past 3 years (and continuing!).

My Gym UES is such a great place! Miss Sara and the other teachers are so sweet and caring. My son loves going to his weekly classes there! He also has become such an explorer, tumbling and climbing everywhere - which I love. Thank you My Gym UES for giving him the confidence to climb!

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about the staff and facilities of My Gym on East 83rd Street in Manhattan.

Our children, now 5 and 3, each started taking classes there at age 1. I was constantly amazed by how much the staff members all love what they do – Karine, Emily, Vanessa, Liz (the owner) and others. It’s obviously very comforting as a parent to see your infants and toddlers with people who are not just “doing their jobs”, but by those who genuinely care.

A number of the employees have attended birthday parties of our children and their classmates in Central Park. And during the Ice Bucket Challenge craze of a few years ago, several other mothers and I participated in a group “splash” hosted by My Gym.

My Gym is also a great place to meet other families. As new parents we were overwhelmed with unfamiliar responsibilities, and prior social lives become extinct. Although many of us have since moved out of Manhattan, some of our closest friends now are those we met there.

Several of us tried other children’s gyms but we all agree that none compare to My Gym on East 83rd Street.
