For over 45 years, The Little Gym has been impacting the lives of children throughout the U.S. and across the world. Our non-competitive, nurturing environment gives kids a space where they can grow socially, emotionally, and intellectually. We are a global leader in the industry and offer a unique opportunity that has garnered an impressive collection of awards. Our environment is fun, but our purpose is serious. There are quite a few reasons why you should choose our kids’ gym franchise - and we are excited to tell you about them.
The Little Gym offers a diverse line-up of programs that include music, movement, learning, and, most importantly, fun! Our age-appropriate curriculum facilitates ongoing skill development through a system called Three-Dimensional Learning. This approach uses physical activity as a conduit for learning.
Our three :
Get Moving!: Includes physical activities that develop balance and coordination, build flexibility and strength, and burn boundless energy. Also teaches healthy habits and instills the importance of overall health and fitness.
Brain Boost!: Includes exercises that develop a love of learning and expand the mind. They also teach problem-solving skills and reinforce school lessons.
Citizen Kid!: This program helps create well-rounded and well-adjusted individuals by teaching patience, sharing, group work, and listening.

Capitalizing on over 45 years of hands on experience, early childhood research, and thoughtful parental feedback, The Little Gym has developed a unique curriculum based on a holistic "Three-Dimensional" approach to learning. Through this philosophy, children are challenged to master new physical, emotional, and life skills, laying the groundwork for a lifetime of healthy habits.
Fun, physical activity is at the core The Little Gym's program. Children build flexibility and strength, develop balance and coordination, and improve their agility, rhythm and overall fitness.
Through all programs, children foster listening skills, sustained concentration, creative expression and problem-solving. These skills help prepare little ones for school and reinforce lessons learned by school-age children.
With physical activity as the framework, children learn life skills like sharing, working in a group, cooperation and leadership – all valuable tools to help them grow into well-adjusted, well-rounded citizens of their world.
“To be part of The Little Gym franchise to me has truly meant the world for many different reasons. One is that I get to be my own boss, set my own schedule, and be in my children’s life events.”
- Mitchell Kantrowitz
