We recently started going to My Gym and it has been absolutely amazing from my 8 month old. My son has recently started crawling and always wants to do something. My Gym has been great because there is so much room for him to move around with soft floors and soft things to play on (mats, stairs, etc). The teachers are awesome and set up different exercises for the kids, and they do a great job helping them through the exercise and making it a positive experience. The owner, Charles, is also extremely nice, great with kids and has created an awesome business. Highly recommend for littles who need something to do!

Without a doubt the best place to bring your kids. Whether you attend weekly classes or host a birthday party here I cannot rave enough about Charles and his team! My son has been attending classes for 3 years and is now in a drop off pre-gymnastics class and he has learned so many skills here (not just athletic). His body awareness and confidence is what it is because of my gym, he also has learned kindness, patience and numerous other positive social skills here as well. So if you are looking for a complete package place to take your kids look no further, MY GYM is it! Weekly classes, birthday parties, summer camp you can’t beat a place like this. So thankful for the team at MY Gym!

We have been apart of the MyGym family for almost 6 years now, Coach Charles being there from the very beginning. Under Coach Charles leadership MyGym has a wonderful staff, a clean and safe facility and such a fun atmosphere for children to play, socialize and learn. I really appreciate the safety protocols taken with the doors being closed during class times and the constant cleaning and sanitizing, MyGym really cares about the wellbeing of everyone, child and adult. Thank you MyGym !

Where do I start, I am so proud of Coach Charles and how successful and fun this gym is! My son lovessss MyGym and is constantly asking to go and hates to leave. Coach Charles and his employees keep the gym immaculately clean and well ventilated, using a food grade sanitizer in between classes they sanitize all of the toys and equipment ensuring that the kids and parents stay safe from colds that are so prevalent in these age groups. The AC is always on and provides a more than comfortable environment for all. The front door stays closed thank goodness since busy De La Vina is right outside and our littles are running around constantly. So smart and safe! Charles is so wonderful and caring with the children and is always playing the jams! Can’t beat the price for how many times you can attend a week! Highly recommended for the little ones and a great all around vibe. My son’s listening and following directions better than ever and these classes and coaches instill such confidence in these kids it’s unmatched. Thank you Coach Charles!

It used to be a great place to take the kids, but my experience today was very disappointing. The place smelled strongly of Clorox, and there was poor ventilation—no fans at all. They didn’t even open the doors to allow fresh air to circulate in the gym. I believe that investing in a few fans and keeping the door open wouldn’t be too expensive. There must be better cleaning solutions available than the harsh smell of Clorox. I felt like my skin absorbed the odor. I won’t be returning, as the strong smell made for a very unpleasant experience.

We started coming here over a year ago because we had gotten tired of the park and wanted some variety (and air conditioning!). We stayed for the high fives, stamps, and story time. It’s always a fun time at mygym just remember your socks!

Very uplifting positive staff. Very hands on pace where kids can climb and experience physical things they usually won't at home. Plus it's a good opportunity for your child to interact with other kids in a positive setting.

I want to first and foremost thank you, My Gym, and Coach Charles, the owner, for everything you are doing in our community of Santa Barbara. It was so heartbreaking to see a parent write such a negative comment, which, to me, seems to be biased. But that is beside the point. But how will someone post something anonymously and negatively about someone and not say it face to face? So many people were so positive and uplifting, so I am going to contribute to that collection and write a review where it matters most.

We have been a part of My Gym since late 2023, and from the moment we signed up online, which they state is the only way to handle your account, everything has been sent to us directly and explained thoroughly. Using your phone versus your computer is a big adjustment, but staff members walked me through the steps, so setting up my account was easy. Furthermore, they made us feel like we had known them for years, making my children feel special every day they walked in and making me feel like more than just a bank. They truly care.

Coach Jack told me when signing up that the gym only sends updates via text messages to current members. This is an excellent thing, in my opinion. If you’re on your way to one of their classes and they had to cancel due to weather or illness, you get that information right away rather than showing up to a closed gym or scrambling through your spam mail. You’re never getting a lot of spam messages or emails. When you first sign up, they send you a digital copy of their gym policy. When you enroll, they send you a digital copy of their schedule, which has been helpful as I can keep that on my phone and access it easily. This Winter, they changed their policy just for the cold season, which, as a Mom of 3, I was so grateful for! Again, they sent a message stating the policy a month before, as well as a few reminders. The staff is accommodating and thorough in helping us with our accounts.

I wanted to cancel one of my accounts. I sent a message and got detailed step-by-step instructions on how to cancel my account. But then we were told in that same message about freezing our account. So I asked how I would go about doing that instead, as it seemed like the better option. Once again, I got detailed instructions on how to do it.
I understand that technology can be hard for some people and we get busy with our personal lives and overwhelmed with all the information we receive on a daily basis, but you can not fault a business for sending you clear instructions. Especially if you, are choosing to not adhere to them. That just childish and silly to blame a business when you are actually at fault.

Lastly, I want to say thank you to these four men who are not only nurturing, sweet, and caring, but also show boys that you can have a heart and still be strong. Two of my boys love to play My Gym at home and want to be like Coach Charles and Coach Quin. My youngest always says Coach Ethan is a giant. Coach Charles, you make doing what you do look effortless and flawless. Thank you again. You are honest, loving, and always smiling, even when you are incredibly short-staffed. Thank you for sharing your business with us and still teaching these classes, many of which you are doing solo.
It may seem like we don’t notice or say thank you enough, but this community appreciates you. Don’t let, “Negative Nancy’s.” rain on your beautiful parade!

As a grandmother of two young children, I am thrilled to take the little ones to My Gym in Santa Barbara, a jewel of a resource run by Charles, a man with a vision and understanding of child development. .

Once at My Gym, the kids kick off their session with circle time of stretches, dances and skill practice, followed by activities that change virtually every ten minutes. From mini-zip lining to swinging in animal-shaped swings to balancing on boards, the kids pack in a lot of activities, all leading to independent time where the adults sit back and the children develop their inner resources, exploring a tub of toys, including the teapot my grandson loves to use to pour imaginary tea.

Following independent time, the session comes to a close, again in the circle, with a puppet show, in which Charles or Quinn or another talented kids coach tells a story with colorful animal puppets before leading the tykes in the "Time to Say Good-Bye Song" hands waving and kids ready to dart over to get their hands stamped with little animal figures.

Fun!

Had our daughters joint birthday party there and it was awesome! Coach Jack and Grace kept the energy up and activities moving. We just had to show up with snacks and cupcakes, and they took care of all the rest. We had a somewhat large age range in guests 4 - 10 years old and the activities still were engaging for all ages. We upgraded from the Delux Party package to make it 2 hours versus 1.5 hours, and we’re glad we did do it worked out better for parents to just drop off their kids rather than stick around. It’s somewhat pricey but they give you a great experience. Our girls loved it all!

We love MyGym! My son absolutely enjoys every class and practice and play. Coach Charles really knows how to make every class a positive, engaging experience. I love that the staff here knows all the kiddos names and always makes an effort to make them feel special and help them grow their confidence. I appreciate how clean and organized the entire place is and all the safety precautions the staff takes to make sure the children are in a safe environment. The PNO’s they host every month are a bonus and I love the excitement in my sons face when he gets to come to class. Thank you coach Charles and staff for investing in our children!

I cannot say enough good things about My Gym. We have been coming here for six years. I started with my son when he was an infant, and now take my daughter. There is singing, dancing, gymnastics, puppet shows, toys, etc. There are so many skills that the kids practice each class. It’s such a good time, and we all love it. Not to mention, I met two of my best friends in My Gym when my son was a baby. We have had birthday parties there, and date nights. Charles is AWESOME and so good with the kids. It’s always clean, conveniently located, has parking, and fair prices. Try it, you won’t regret it!!

Mother of 5. I wish we knew about this place for all of my children. My youngest daughter has been attending classes almost a year and we love it!!!!! Everyone is so kind and professional. My Gym makes it easy with one low monthly fee it includes weekly classes and unlimited practice and plays. We just had her 2nd birthday party there and Charles and his staff made her feel so special🥰 all of the kids and parents had a wonderful time. My first stress free party.

We love our Sunday mornings at my gym! We have taken our 1 year old for a few months now and he always has a blast. The practice and plays are a great benefit as well. (An open gym time for free if you are enrolled in a class.)

Plus the new location at 2801 De La vina is a great location to go straight to tj’s after our Sunday morning class and miss the crowds!

We love My Gym, and are so happy they are back in Santa Barbara! The NEW LOCATION (2801 De La Vina) is smaller than the old location, but set up to maximize the space and is very clean. Charles and Jake do an amazing job with our class! They not only know all of the families and greet the kids by name every time they come in to the gym, but are also very prepared during the class and work well together. They know what's going on at all times, and communicate with each other and with the families in a positive way. My son is only 15 months and is nervous about going to other people, but Charles and Jake are patient with him and understanding and always focus on the positive.

They do a great job cleaning and sanitizing after every class and even during class if they see a kid put something in their mouth. They also keep up with the local health guidelines and let every family decide what they are comfortable with (regarding masks and distancing).

Not worth it. Smaller facility at 2801 De La Vina st. Not a lot of variety in activities for my 2-year-old. Each 50 minute class comes out to $30. Have to buy 4-course class package for $120. You have to attend to your child the whole time and cannot be on your phone. Automatic billing cycles can catch you by surprise. I was only planning on doing it for 1 month and was unaware of automatic billing and wound up paying for 3 months just to catch up with a whole months worth of missed classes. Wound up with a couple classes I was unable to make-up, so the whole thing really wasn't really worth it for me. Perhaps if they were more flexible with billing and make-ups this might have been a better experience. Also limited time slots available for each age group.

We came for a 3 year old's birthday. Charles was GREAT! He was wonderful at keeping the kids engaged. The only criticism is that I think 3 is a little young for the amount of games they tried to organize. Open play is definitely what our kiddo was more interested in. But the bubbles, music, obstacle courses, and trampolines were a lot of fun! Our kiddo was so upset that the party was over.
