What is The Little Gym ?
A South African concept!
The Little Gym is the world’s premier experiential learning and physical development center for children ages four months through 12 years old. Each week, progressively structured classes and a positive learning environment create opportunities for children to try new things and build self-confidence, all with a grin that stretches from ear to ear.
Over 40 Years of Serious Fun – Educator, musician and kinesiologist, Robin Wes, a South African native, envisioned a nurturing place where children could explore their physical development while also growing socially, emotionally and intellectually. Not being able to develop his concept in South Africa at the time, due to the political situation of the country, he opened the first The Little Gym in 1976 in Bellevue, Washington and infused those early classes with the same positive, non-competitive spirit that characterizes us today. Forty years later, children in almost 400 locations worldwide experience the Serious Fun.
The Little Gym program helps develop new levels of coordination, know how, physical skills and self-confidence. A lesson children will carry with them into the classroom, to the playground and throughout their life!
