My Gym Buffalo Grove

My 3 yr old has been attending MyGym for over a year now, and we love it! Very highly recommend their classes. It’s especially great when the weather is cold that we have somewhere indoors to run around and climb. The first time we came to a trial class, my daughter was very nervous and didn’t want to play, but Kyle had her out on the floor giggling with other kids within about 15 minutes (record time, I assure you — she loved him instantly). Allie and Kyle are two of my daughter’s favorite people, they are supportive and silly and really fantastic with this age group (calming squabbles, encouraging participation, minimizing tears, maximizing shrieks of glee and giggles). The class we started in (~2yrs old) was a mostly free play environment, with stretching, singing, and dancing at circle time and skills taught loosely by taking a kids aside during free play period one by one to work with them. The next level up is a transition class that is about half free play and half more structured — It starts with circle time again, the kids are divided into groups and wait their turn to practice a skill with an instructor. After each skill, there’s a break for free play again. The gym facility is great, it’s clean and well laid out (cubbies for shoes, socks, jackets at the entrance; lots of benches for seating; potty seats, wipes, changing tables, and stepstools in each bathroom). I was particularly tickled to see the ceiling anchor setup in the gym area (to which ropes and carabiner clips are attached allowing all sorts of suspended playing possibilities). The layout of the gym equipment changes weekly, so there’s always something new to explore. There’s even a special new swing set up each week — sometimes a big basket, other times a giant squishy platform for multiple kids or a partner swing. We can’t say enough good things about their classes and their staff!

Today we had my sons 4^th birthday party at my gym.
I always enjoyed the class here. I think Kyle that runs the place is a great guy, very bubbly, connect with the kids on a great way. But he wasn’t the one running our bday party today. And honestly is not the same think. The 2 girls there were very sweet and polite, but not very engaging .
Overall my son and all the kids had a great time. But I know that Kyle does a better job.

We drove an hour and a half to go to a birthday party there. The place was very clean the owner was funny and really related to the kids. My kids are older then the birthday child and they were able to be very accommodating with not forcing them to join in with the toddler things and let it be a semi open gym and also engaged the younger children after food they allowed the kids to back and play I was really happy and give this place 5 stars

I have a 10 min max drive rule (maybe 15 for something really special) when it comes to kid classes so we won’t be signing up for My Gym in Buffalo Grove, but my almost 3 year old recently attended a bday party here and had fun.
As far as bday parties go they make it easy here (at least appeared that way). We let all the little ones loose for an hour in the gym and they had a blast jumping, climbing, throwing, etc
I probably appreciated the staff here more than most since leading gymnastics bday parties was my high school job and the staff here put my high school self to shame. At one point my son was crying from a fall and one the guys who works here had him smiling again in no time (with the old «the dinosaur on your shirt is pretending to bite my finger» trick).
After an hour we made it into the party room. Pretty small, but fine for the less than 30 min it took all the toddlers (and parents) to wolf down some pizza and cake. We then grabbed our my gym goody bags and balloon (holding up well a week later) and jumped into the car to head to our next bday party. He slept the entire way there which means My Gym did a great job of tiring him out.

We brought my child here for a little over a year and really enjoyed it. The place was clean and the staff was great. They have since moved facilities and we took a few classes at the new place but honestly preferred the old one so between that and the drive was a bit far we decided to cancel. But all in all we loved our time at My Gym (just wish they were closer!)

We have been members of My Gym for almost 5 years now and after trying different park district classes, etc., I would not go anywhere else. Their facility is clean and organized, the staff is always friendly and easy going and the classes are always so much fun. I have 2 boys, one is 3 and the other is 5 and we have been taking classes there since they were 1. Each class my boys have taken has been filled with new skills to learn, exciting games to play and confidence boosting experiences. The staff does a wonderful job getting to know your individual child, working with them on their level and making them feel proud and special. My older son had his 5^th birthday party there and Kyle went out of his way to ask what my son was into and made sure the party was a blast for him and his friends. He literally knew every child’s name by the time the party started and made everybody laugh with his silly jokes and his fun and happy demeanor.

We have been members of My Gym for about a year. The classes are good– especially for younger ones that are building confidence and early gym skills. Our daughter made a lot of progress in the class. The personalities of the people that work at My Gym really do well with the kids.
In addition, we just had her 3^rd birthday party at the gym. Kyle did our party, and every single kid at that party laughed their faces off the entire time. We had a few kids at the party that were shy, and they responded so well to him. The party was fantastic. I highly recommend him to host your party. He works very hard to make everything really great!
Would recommend My Gym for kids of all ages. At our party there were kids under 2 up to 5 and all had fun.

was there for the first time attending a party. this place was fanastic I was really impressed with the organization and the staff involvement with the kids during the party. I picked up a schedule on my way out we’ll definitely be back!

My 2 ½ year old son has been attending My Gym in Buffalo Grove for over a year now– He absolutely LOVES it. New activities every week, GREAT instructors, not to mention the fact that it really keeps him active. He would want to go every day if he could

Called to inquire about signing my daughter up for their program and got a call back from some snotty lady with a condescending attitude. I felt like I was talking to some government agency. Never would I sign my daughter up there for the mere fear of how they might talk to/​treat the children. Lost our business!
