I'd give six stars if I could!!!
Sebastian and his team are incredible: knowledgeable/skilled, professional, caring, and wonderful with children. My daughter absolutely loves going! I'm so glad I brought my daughter here and will continue to do so.
They will also get right back to you via e-mail.
I highly recommend this positive environment for your child!
*My daughter attends the Tuesday class led by Sebastian, Mari, Mariah, and Bridget--all are EXCEPTIONAL!
UPDATE-Shoutouts to the amazing Ms. Tanya and Jorge as well!

Great place with good customer service. I pulled our toddler out when the Maplewood location opened, because it was closer. But I'm now coming back to this gym instead. Recommended.

We had our daughter’s second birthday party at The Little Gym of Summit, and it was absolutely perfect! Mr. Sebastian and Mr. Julian were phenomenal — so energetic, patient, and genuinely engaged with every child. They kept the activities fun, safe, and age-appropriate, and their enthusiasm made the whole experience feel extra special.

The kids were laughing and running around the entire time at the party, and the parents were impressed with how smoothly everything was organized. We didn’t have to worry about a single detail — from set-up to clean-up, they had it all covered.

We also go to The Little Gym weekly for class with Miss Jen, who is just as fantastic! She’s warm, encouraging, and knows exactly how to keep the little ones engaged while helping them grow their skills and confidence.

Mr. Sebastian, Mr. Julian, Miss Jen, and the entire Little Gym of Summit crew truly make it such a special place for our family, and we’re so grateful for the wonderful memories they’ve helped create. Highly recommend!

My wife and I have been bringing our daughter here since the earliest stages of her life. This place was a huge part of her socializing and growing. We would highly recommend this place to anyone. The employees to run the programs are terrific and made my daughter, who is very shy, always feel welcome and happy. Tanya was the first non-family member that my daughter interacted with on a regular basis and they grew a great relationship together over the 1.5 years or so that we were coming to class. This place was 100% worth the money and we are so happy that our daughter had this experience.

We've been members at the Little Gym for about 2 years now. My son is insanely shy and had a really had time adjusting but Jenn and Sebastian went out of their way to make sure he feels welcomed, safe and included, even on his worst days. We love our gym days and his class has help him come out of his shell so much. The skills and curriculum are great but they come a far second to the confidence my little one has gained through his classes.

This facility is so organized all the staff members are so friendly and welcoming. My son has attended the little gym since he is 11 months old and for the past 5 months we have never had a bad experience. We have attended different classes and take advantage of the practice times which allows us to meet all staff members and I can assure you, all the teachers are fantastic. I could not have found a better place for my energetic toddler to burn out some of his energy before naps/ bed time. We will continue enjoying classes with Miss Tania on Saturday mornings.

We love TLG of Summit!! Our son is almost 3 years old and he’s been going to classes since he was 10 months old. It’s helped him with climbing, walking and other strength activities. It keeps him active and he has so much fun! All the teachers are wonderful and so kind and caring with the kiddos.

The facilities are clean and they are also sanitized regularly/between each class.

We are so happy to be part of TLG of Summit!

We truly love the Little Gym in Summit! We have been going there since my daughter was 2.5 years old and it’s the best decision we have ever made for her. You don’t realize that they not only teach them things like how to skip and hop but it also teaches them to listen to their teachers, take direction and wait their turn in the funniest ways. We have had almost every teacher and my daughter loves each one more and more after each group. If you are on the fence sign up! You won’t be disappointed!

I can not recommend TLG Summit enough! Kids stay active, learn new skills, and build confidence at their own comfort level, all while having a BLAST. The staff is AMAZING!!! They are encouraging, skilled, and genuinely invested in each student. You’ll see familiar faces week after week, creating a strong sense of community for both kids and parents. Every visit is a positive experience from the moment you walk in the door. 10/10 recommend!

My daughter has been going to The Little Gym since she was 8 months old, and now at 3 ½, she still absolutely loves it! The teachers are all so friendly, welcoming, and great with the kids—they really know how to make every child feel comfortable and confident. The environment is positive and supportive, and it’s clear the staff genuinely care. The gym is also very accommodating, with a flexible and easy-to-use make-up class program that’s been a big help to our schedule. We’re so grateful for the role The Little Gym has played in our daughter’s early development and happiness!

I have been attending the little gym of summit since 2019 first as a nanny and now as a mama of two littles. From day one I was always so welcomed by Jenn, Tanya, and Sebastian! Thanks to the little gym and there open play times we always have something fun to do! Our absolute favorite throughout the years has been there holiday events! From as little as 4 months old all the way to 6 years old we have experienced the enjoyment of attending! Going in it feels like one big family! My kids have a blast and even I have a blast. I highly recommend the little gym of summit to all parents of littles because it is a great community for your children to grow up in!

We cannot say enough good things about the Little Gym of Summit. We have two budding gymnasts, one who lives to be the center of attention and one who is more reserved. The talented, thoughtful teachers at the Little Gym (shout out to Miss Tanya and Mr. George!) work beautifully with both of them and make both of them feel seen and included. The facility is spotless, the communication is seamless, and the family play times and events are super fun. We recently moved from IL to NJ, and the Little Gym has been a source of community for my husband and me, as well as our children. If you're on the fence, don't be!

I started bringing my son to The Little Gym of Summit since he was 5 months old, he is now 3 years old and still loving his class at TLG! The moment we first walked in the door we felt the warm welcome and positive energy from the teachers and staff and we were immediately hooked. What started out as a class to have “something to do” as a new mom, quickly turned into a class we look forward to with great enthusiasm every week. Not only does my son have a blast at his class, his strength and coordination have improved at such a fast rate. Family and friends are always so impressed at how he can handle himself at the playground or running around outside, and I always give TLG classes a ton of credit for this. We adore all the teachers at TLG of Summit. They are so knowledgeable and personable, they truly create magic for these little ones each and every single day. With all of these positives, the most important thing (in my opinion) that we have taken away from TLG are the friendships we have made. My son has a little friend he adores that he met from class and now we have grown to become close friends with his parents as well. We are so grateful to TLG for giving us the opportunity to meet such amazing people and create beautiful memories. I can’t wait to start my youngest son on his Little Gym journey next month!

TLG of Summit has been a wonderful place for my daughter’s physical and social development. When she was diagnosed with dyspraxia and SPD, her OT recommended that she continue, and I’m so glad she did. She has been attending classes for 9yrs and still loves going, mainly because of the amazing instructors. They go at each child's pace and know exactly when a gentle push or encouragement is needed. The instructors are patient, enthusiastic, and truly dedicated. They’ve created a space that is warm, welcoming, and supportive. Even during COVID, they provided a safe and clean environment. My daughter also celebrated her birthday there a couple of times, and both times she had a great experience.

We have been long time members at the little gym of summit! As longtime members we value the consistent staff, cleanliness, professionalism, curriculum, engagement, extra events and the communication- which is often, clear and concise in a nonaggressive manner. We have LOVED the consistency, growth in all three of our children and dedication and LOVE of this facility. We walk in and feel like family. Ms. Tanya holds an extra special place in our hearts as all of my children have bonded with her. Her warm approach and dedication to her unique teaching style makes every single child in the room glow. She is TRULY special. My oldest carried strong bonds with Mr. Sebastian who is warm and silly but effective at making individualized connections. His abundant love for the children and his exceptional playlists make every person in the room dance. My younger son's teacher, Mr. George, is running a high energy, exciting, focused classes. His obvious love of kids is on display in his mutual interactions of fun and respect, paired with some silliness and he is the perfect piece to this gym ! Last but definitely not least is Ms. Jen, who aside from running an excellent gym, really understands the mom aspect of balancing it all. She gives moms that much needed break by engaging, laughing, building confidence and helping the parents in the room just as much as the kids. She is the glue here that holds it all together. We have appreciated our 7 years in this facility and recommend and refer everyone we know. If you need this kind of environment for your child, you’d be sorely mistaken not to give this location a try! I will be DEVASTATED the day my kids are no longer here.

We go to weekly classes here for over a year and my son loves it. He has grown in confidence and looks forward to seeing the wonderful instructors, especially Ms. Jenn. We just had his 3rd birthday last weekend and it was perfect. All the kids had a blast, the little gym team members had amazing energy and kept the kids engaged the whole time. They were helpful, clean, and truly wonderful to work with. Thank you!

We have some concerns about the sanitary conditions at this gym, which do not appear to be adequately addressed by the management.

Pros:
- The class structure is well-organized.
- The instructors, particularly Miss Tanya, are kind and engaging.
- The texting system is effective for communication.

Cons:
- Sanitary Practices and Culture: During a class, a parent was kicking balls barefoot while my 14-month-old child was biting and licking the same balls. That night, my child developed diarrhea, though it is unclear if this incident was the direct cause.

- When I raised this concern and suggested that parents be reminded to wear socks to maintain hygiene in the future, the response from management was, "It's our policy, and we are unsure what we can do."

If this level of hygiene is not a concern for you, this gym may be a suitable option. However, for those who prioritize stricter sanitary practices, it may not be the right fit.

The search is over! The little gym of summit is where you need to bring your kids, if you are looking for a physical, extra curricular activity, that keep your kids active! The gym itself is spotless, cleaned in between every class I have ever witnessed and extremely organized. The three instructors that my children, wife, I , have personal experience with, Mrs Jen, Mrs Tania, and Mr Sebastian, go above and beyond what is generally expected of the people your children interact with. Based off of my observations, The instructors are there because they love children and have a passion for teaching their students fun new skills!

The BEST activity for my 2 year old. He seriously loves this place and talks about “Ms Jen” anytime he does something remotely related to gymnastics! Perfect amount of time for a class for a 2 year old and EVERY class is different yet consistent that my kid knows exactly what to do! They are so awesome in scheduling also, whether it’s a make up or changing our schedule completely they have been above and beyond in making it happen. Love this place and the staff.

My son started at The Little Gym of Summit when he was 7 months old and he still continues to thrive there as an almost 3 year old. The teachers are dynamic and they are what makes this place truly special. They are genuinely caring and really get to know each student, encouraging them to try their best on each skill and activity. My son looks forward to going to class each week and has grown tremendously when it comes to his focus and gymnastics skills.

Try getting a phone call back. Due to various reasons I’ve had to reschedule the one class I can take my daughter to on the weekend. Phone call back seems impossible after 3 messages and 5 days. That’s terrible customer service.
Additionally, how about catering more to parents who work during the week and can’t take their kids to class other than weekends.
I have one option on the weekend.

We absolutely love the little gym in Summit. We started 2 years ago with our daughter and she has become so social and so active because of the fun environment and incredible instructors. We truly believe she's gotten her confidence to try new things from LGS. Now we have started classes for our son, too, and can't wait to see how it will shape him. We can't recommend this place enough!

We have class weekly with Ms. Jenn. She is absolutely amazing. Her voice and presence has the kids engaged the entire time. She is sweet, knowledgeable, kind and gentle! We have a great time at the Little Gym!

We recently also just had my daughter’s 2nd birthday party here as well. We used the entire party time for play time in the gym (vs using a portion of it for food/cake). For the 90 minutes Sebastian and team (Ms. Titi & Ms. Mary) we’re amazing. We had a large age group and they were able to cater the entire 90 minutes to each age group that was there. While doing this, they kept the kids engaged, in control, having a blast with the constant reminder of “whose birthday is it?” So it truly felt like my daughters birthday party. Each game was thought out, fun and appropriate. The staff was friendly, kind, upbeat, knowledgeable and had “yes” personalities. I couldn’t have been happier with how the party turned out!

The Little Gym in general is a very clean atmosphere and equipment is always up kept!

We love it here!!

The facility is extremely clean. The instructor that my son has (Justine) is very enthusiastic, fun and friendly. The facility is bright and organized. We had my daughters five year old birthday party there and it was fantastic. The instructors ware great (with all 30+ kids!). They moved the party along at a perfect pace leaving plenty of time for playing and eating. They also take care of the cleanup which is a big perk. Several of my daughters friends moms were so pleased that they even booked their kids parties there. Highly recommend!
