JuneBug’s Gym

I like the idea of this gym & I also like that my daughter at 1 years old enjoys climbing & moving around this gym but I can’t get over how many sick children they let come in. I’ve asked multiple times why this is okay and allowed, and I always get the same answer «we do our best to encourage parents not to bring their kids here when they are sick, and will ask them to leave.» This is not the case. Today I counted 6 children with green snot, one mom wiping it on a ball, her child’s pants, her pants, and than in the foam pit!!! Gross! Seriously!!! A different mom standing by the big trampoline said to another mom, «oh yea my child has had a 102 fever for 2 days now!» What! At that point I left early, and sadly I won’t be coming back, unless things change and June Bugs can actually in force some guidelines about being sick! I’m disappointed. And I get told to try and have my one year old sit in my lab during circle time (even though she hates sitting) and to not have her roam around (and if she won’t sit go hide in the back… Like that’s going to happen, she’s not a dog). I «like» that those rules are more important than their sick rules.

My son loves this place! I took him to the crawler class and he had so much fun. It’s nice because the babies can do their own thing but the instructor also sings songs and has little games for them as well.

This used to be a great place. I took my 7 year old here when she was 2 and it was fine. But this round with my toddler has been disappointing. What’s going on? My 2 year old daughter is on her third session. We come to class, there are 12 children and 12 parents packed in to a very small room. Much too small for this number of people. As a result, the children are competing with each other for space and activities. There are 2 women who are alleged to be the instructors but they don’t greet the children or work one on one with them. Most of the class they are in the back, eating talking to each other or to the receptionist. After 12 weeks of class I doubt they know my daughter’s name and they certainly have never approached or interacted with her. They largely avoid the kids and then about halfway through the class on of the teachers announces an obstacle course that this way beyond the ability or understanding of any of these toddlers and with the room so crowded would be dangerous to attempt anyway. There is a brief circle time and a short period with a parachute, both a little over the heads of these less than 2 year olds and when class is over, the teachers don’t say good bye.

This place is amazing. The instructors are passionate, knowledgeable and creative. I love the combo of gymnastics, trampolines and music. It’s perfect for my almost 2 year old. I can’t think of anything I would change. The price is great and the families are super nice. What a gem.

Awesome place! My 3 year old niece and 6 year old nephew had their birthday party there. It was a lot fun for children and their staff were amazing.

This place is an amazing gym for children. My daughter attended from 5 – 6 years and she loved it. Her favorite teacher was Kyle, he did so great with the amount of rambunctious kids that were in my daughters class. He was patient and she achieved her goal of doing the splits and cartwheels. Still working on handstands. She is getting too big for it now, but we have yet to find a gym that is as great as this one in Santa Cruz county. If your debating whether to join, do it. Your kids will love it and my daughter still sports her June bug gym shirt when she can.

We love this place! I have never seen my 1 year old so happy. We dropped in for a Caterpillar class by a friend’s recommendation, and June and her assistant created a beautiful class: time for free play and structured singing and dance. June is warm and has created a wonderful business. Definitely worth the money; we’ll be back!

I started my daughter out in a parks and rec program which didn’t really have instruction for her age group, but she transitioned to June’s program beautifully and my 2 year old son even follows the instruction. If you child is shy about being spotted by anyone other than you, they are totally fine with you being on the floor encouraging and spotting your child through the activities. Been there for a few birthdays too and it’s great!

Yay!!!

I have been looking for a place to enroll my daughter in gymnastics, she is 4 and has some mild motor delays. After attending a party at June Bugs Gym, I knew right away that it was the place for her. For one, she was enamoured with Teacher Kyle, but also the gym is cozy enough to not be too overwhelming for her, and is really geared towards building confidence in young children. I enrolled her in a Friday afternoon class, and my 7-​year-​old son, after observing the class, decided he wanted to enroll too! And now they attend the same class together (sometimes they are split into separate groups, sometimes not, depending on the number of students in class that day), and they both absolutely love it! And I love that they can go together, because my daughter is even more confident with big brother keeping an eye out for her. While we are partial to Kyle, all the other teachers have been great too. I did read the 1 star review below regarding a particular instructor, but he has not taught any of our classes, so we haven’t had that experience.

I have witnessed Junes classes for the last 6 months about 3x a week. June at JuneBug’s gym has created a healthy learning experience for children ages crawling through 8. She has done this by ensuring an environment in which the children are able to age appropriately and safely learn about their body as well as how to interact with others by exploring their environment. They also seem to respond to the friendly staff and coaches in a familiar and comfortable way. JuneBug’s gym is a safe haven for children to explore movement as well as improve their parent child interaction, child to child interaction, and child to instructor interactions.
If you want your child to develop proper motor skills and experince something out of the ordinary bring them to JuneBugs Gym. They will surely enjoy themselves for a resonable price.

Junebug’s Gym is awesome! It is the perfect place to bring your kids! The zipline is a hit with the kids, along with the tramp and foam pit. So many fun things to do. We love Junebug and so do all the kids.
Shelly, your confused… Barry is the owner of tumbling tutor (different company).
Go bugs! :)

My under-​2 toddler has been going to this gym for a year, and she’s learned a lot and gained a lot from June’s classes. She is giddy about going there and loves the place, the equipment, everything. I commend June and her people for working with children, including very young ones. It can’t be easy, yet they are sweet and patient. Moms are the worse, is my guess, and yet they keep a smile for us.
If you’re thinking of an activity for your toddler, this gym is fun, nice and CLEAN! I am definitely going to try and keep her going to gym class for years if I can.

June runs a top notch gym for children! It’s clean and everything is just the right size for the children. The children love it too!
Looking for something fun to do with your child or grandchild. this is the place to go.

Such a cute gym for your toddler! Everything is just the right size and so fun for the little ones. I would only say that my 2 year old has a hard time following instruction and a lot of the time I feel stressed chasing him around thinking that he should be following what the rest of the class is doing, but then I think, «he is 2!» so for his age it might be asking a bit much, but he is getting better and loves the free play.
