My Gym was born out of our passion to teach children in a fun, physically engaging environment. My Gym's delight in seeing children's eyes light up for all those incredible milestones, from the tentative first steps to tumbling down soft mats. Sharing the parents’ excitement at their children’s accomplishments was the high point of our day.

My Gym knew from the start that, through fun and captivating activities, they could accomplish great things. Their goal: To create an environment where children feel loved and supported so their self-esteem and confidence can flourish. Now, more than 35 years later, they are proud to say that all children of all abilities can succeed and thrive at My Gym.

With 700+ locations worldwide, our dream of active, giggling children growing into happy and confident adults has been realized. They cherish every one of our members and are grateful to have each as part of our My Gym family.

Meet the Owners, Cory and Monique

In 1989, Monique and Cory bought the original My Gym located in Van Nuys, CA and, over the next 29 years, have had a blast! There is no better place to create moments that matter than in a My Gym; and, very early into their career with My Gym, they realized that its magic should be available for every family to enjoy.
 
They started their franchising adventure in the early ‘90s and have been growing bigger and better ever since. Almost unbelievably, today there are over 600 My Gym Children’s Fitness Centers in over 30 countries. The My Gym curriculum is taught in another estimated 2,000 off-My Gym locations, and there are over 4,000 My Gym-trained teachers working (or better said… playing) in the world today.

Waddlers

Waddlers is for children 6mths - 18mths and these classes run for 50 minutes.

This stimulating program introduces balancing, tumbling, hanging and agility skills, which helps the children develop a love of physical activity and a sense of pride in their achievements.

At this age, a child's level of independent mobility will typically progress from aggressive crawling to running. Additional fine and gross motor skills developed during this stage include kicking a ball, building a block tower, riding a tricycle, and walking up stairs.

My Gym's highly trained instructors shower the children with affection, as they guide our Waddlers in early social skills through interactive songs, choreographed dances, age-specific puppet shows, special rides, and a variety of swings and other original activities.

Gymsters   

Gymster is for children 18mths - 2yrs and 6mths and these classes run for 50 minutes.

The gross motor abilities of early 2-year-olds are often characterized by more confident running and jumping on two feet as well as an overall improved spatial awareness of their bodies. This is the earliest age group with which we work on fine and gross manipulatives in a structured format, as the 2 to 2½-year-old's attention span grows, allowing the child to focus for longer periods of time.

During this engaging class, the youngsters are elated as they sing, dance, swing, play games, watch puppet shows, take turns on special rides, and have "Surprise Time!" Our Gymsters feel great about themselves as they learn gymnastics in a constantly changing program with fresh ingredients and new equipment setups each week.

This fun class focuses on experimenting with a wide variety of materials while developing children's sensory, recognition of shapes and colours as well as their find motor skills and through scribbling, printing, moulding, painting and other activities.

In addition to having fun with structured games, fascinating "Adventures," and pre-gymnastics, our Terrific Tots learn beginning sports skills, gain fine and gross motor proficiency, and strengthen manipulative skills.

The youngsters become more independent as teachers are now interacting more directly with them. Parental involvement is gradually decreased through inviting activities with love and understanding, and the children exude pride and self-esteem as they are treated like "big kids."

In this age group, teaching physical skills is a top priority. The development of social skills is also emphasized, as the youngsters become good listeners, follow directions, cooperate in a group, and learn more about themselves.
