The Little Gym Wandsworth & Fulham

The Little Gym of Wandsworth & Fulham offers progressively structured classes and a positive learning environment to create opportunities for your child to try new things and build self-confidence, all with a grin that stretches from ear to ear.
My parents nurtured a passion for sport in me from a young age.
James and Emma developed a love for gymnastics, and I am grateful to them both for the introduction.
My son, Luca, was 18 months old when I first learned about The Little Gym.
and started my new adventure with The Little Gym.
These days, around 650 children of all ages and skill levels pass through our doors every week.
I can't even begin to express how great it is to watch the children in our classrooms mature and advance each week.
We love to hear stories and get videos from parents showing how our classes are boosting kids happiness and development at school and home.
It keeps coming up that our song, It's Time to, is also encouraging kids to complete tasks around the house, much to the relief of parents.
I appreciate how at ease dads and grandfathers are in our gym because I used to be a stay-at-home parent.
On Saturdays, in particular, our gym has a totally different atmosphere to other days.
Let's just say that in our parent-child programmes on Saturday mornings, there can be a little bit more Dad-led risk taking!
One of our funniest moments in the gym occurred when a child arrived at his parent-child class with a chauffeur (since the nanny was unwell and Dad/Mum couldn't bring him).
Our coaches, in particular, are what make the gym what it is.
Our five permanent employees have, on average, worked with us for six years.
I remain intensely concerned about the importance of physical activity in a child's life.
And we consider it a great honour that, over the past 12 years, more than 8,000 members have allowed us to contribute to their children's growth.
I'm constantly trying to think of ways to make your time at our gym better.
Therefore, if you have any suggestions or comments, do let us know.
While the atmosphere is lighthearted at The Little Gym, our goals are serious.
Thats why we embrace a proprietary philosophy called Three-Dimensional Learning, in which physical activity is a conduit for nurturing your whole child.
Every course we offer promotes progress in three comprehensive dimensions according to the Three-Dimensional Learning approach to skill development.
Life Skills, Brain Boost, and both!

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 characterises us today.
