TESTIMONIALS

"My Gym has been an integral part of my family's life since my four year old started to walk. We've thrilled together as he's made his way through each successive age group in his weekly class. He even begged to have his last two birthday parties at My Gym! My son has low muscle tone and the teachers have worked beautifully with him, individualizing the skills part of the class to build his confidence while meeting his needs in a sensitive, yet fun manner. I am an Elementary school teacher, and quite selective and picky as to my children's activities. With all of the opportunities in the greater Boston area for my two kids, I find myself always coming back to My Gym, for the quality of its curriculum, the highly-trained, warm and friendly teachers, and the immaculate facility."

My four-year-old daughter Colleen has been taking classes at the My Gym fitness center in Walpole since she was a year old and we have been thrilled with the energy and enthusiasm exhibited by all of the staff members. Colleen was a highly cautious toddler in terms of her comfort level with all of the equipment, but now she is extremely confident and skilled in using everything and I attribute it to the warm, safe environment created by the staff. They all build self-confidence in the students with consistent praise and encouragement while breaking the tasks down into manageable parts that are age-appropriate. They make all of the children feel special and proud of their accomplishments while challenging them to develop beyond their current skill level. The space is the perfect size for the children where they have plenty of room to explore, but it is not overwhelming. It is also the ideal place to host your child's birthday party. We have had two birthday parties at My Gym and the staff does an amazing job taking care of everything! Our family has had a wonderful experience at My Gym and I would highly recommend this fitness center to all families with infants through school-age children!

"My 2 year old daughter, Alana, loves to come to My Gym every week! We have been coming since she was 10 months old. We've never missed a week! We both love the young energetic instructors and each class is filled with a wonderful mix of routine and new fun physical activities. My Gym has played a major role in the development of Alana's self confidence, adventurous spirit and physical capability. Thank you for greeting us each week with giant smiles, fun music, and super fun gymnastics!"

My son Alex, who turns five this year, has been at My Gym since he was a one year old. As he has progressed from Waddlers to Whiz Kids, the My Gym staff has consistently provided just the right challenge in each age class. He always leaves class feeling successful. The My Gym staff instills a sense of accomplishment like no other program I have seen. As an occupational therapist I appreciate their ability to adjust the activities to the needs of each child. With two younger siblings now following in Alex's footsteps we have experienced it all from classes to birthday parties to drop off camp. My boys have loved every moment of their time at My Gym.

"My Gym is a fantastic program, coast to coast. My son was enrolled in the Waddlers class when we were living in San Francisco. When we moved back to the East Coast I enrolled my son in a movement/tumbling class at another gym. Something was missing; it just wasn't like My Gym. When I enrolled my daughter in her first Waddlers class at My Gym Newton, I realized what was missing in the other gym—the My Gym spirit. The staff is energetic, engaging, prepared, and lots of fun. There is something about the spirit of the My Gym staff that takes a great program and makes it outstanding. I feel as if my daughter's hand-eye coordination and confidence in movement during the learning-how-to-walk process has been enhanced greatly by the activities and play equipment at My Gym. The classes are age-appropriate and fun for the parents, too. I can't say enough about what a great program My Gym is—sign us up for another session!!"

"Our son Jason was born prematurely and had a number of medical issues and gross motor delays. We had previously been to a birthday party and an open house at My Gym. So, just before Jason's second birthday, we enrolled him in a weekly class at My Gym of Walpole. By nature he's a very shy, anxious and cautious little boy. For the first month or so, he was basically attached to my leg for much of the class. But then, about four to six weeks into the class, he started to blossom. Since that point his progress has been truly remarkable. He participates in just about everything with very little coaxing from Mommy or Daddy or the staff. He's made a real connection with his teachers—they do a fantastic job of including all the children; reaching out to those that need extra help and coaching. The kids really respond to them. You can tell that teaching classes is not just a "day job" for the instructors. They truly work hard and are thrilled by seeing the children succeed. Jason's gross motor delays are all resolved now. He's tearing up the house like a normal 2-year-old. My Gym classes have not only built his physical abilities, they've also boosted his self-confidence. He's much less anxious, cautious, and shy than he used to be. What started out as a trial set of classes has turned out to be much more. We are so glad we chose My Gym! Jason's progress has been amazing; worth every penny."

"My Gym Boston is an oasis in the city! Both my son and daughter have joined and benefited from the carefully planned programs designed for their age group. From the moment they step onto that soft blue carpeted floor, they are warmly greeted by high energy, caring staff members who oversee a smorgasbord of colorful play structures. The music is so hip and groovy that, even on my most sluggish days, I can't help but dance and move with them! My daughter loves the circle time with fine motor exercises and puppetry and my son loves the massive space to run and climb. The Birthday Parties are incredibly well-run and truly make your child feel special. I am so thankful for everyone at My Gym Boston—from intelligent, caring and conscientious management, to hard-working, loving teachers and the most amazing venue for kids to be kids. My hat goes off!"

"We started coming to My Gym Boston as soon as their doors opened in September 2007. I had looked for a gym class for my 2 kids and tried out a few, but we did not find a place that they really enjoyed. From the moment we came to My Gym Boston we were all thrilled. My Gym is bright and cheerful and you can feel the energy as soon as you walk in. They provide a fun environment where the kids are free to play and explore, while also providing specific gymnastic activities to stimulate the kids and help them learn and practice new skills. I am always impressed at how they change the set-up of the gym every week to provide a new and fun space for the children to explore and enjoy. I love watching my kids being challenged and then seeing the excitement on their faces when they have successfully completed a new skill. And I can't say enough about the teachers! The teachers are excellent and have so much energy! Their enthusiasm is contagious and the kids and parents can't help but have a great time. My children LOVE coming to class each week and even talk about their teachers at home. Last May, we decided to have a joint birthday party for my 2 kids at My Gym and they did an EXCELLENT job! I loved how they made my son and daughter feel so special. My husband and I still talk about the look of pure joy on our son's face as he was paraded around in the birthday wagon! I had many parents tell me that they thought it was one of the best kid's birthday parties they have attended. Thank you, My Gym, for all that you do to make each visit so special for our kids!"

"My son Christopher, who is 9 years old, loves coming to his Super Stars class at My Gym Newton. With their help, he has gotten much better at listening to instructions and taking turns; especially when to talk. He gets a great work out and his balance has become excellent since starting the class. We LOVE it here. All the teachers are great with the ASD kids in the Super Stars class. I love that My Gym is SO CLEAN!"

"Winter would be torture for my 22-month old grandson and me without the cheerful, lively My Gym class to go to. My grandson loves going! He loves the enthusiastic, warm, smiling staff and the multitudes of climbing, jumping, lifting and sliding equipment scattered about the very large, airy, cheerful and clean play space. I am a nurse who insists on a green, clean environment for my grandchild. He has learned to sit in a circle with his classmates; follow the animated instructor's instructions; and do so many different fun activities and exercises. At home he sings the My Gym opening and closing theme songs and does many of his favorite exercises. His parents and I are very pleased with his learning and the physical prowess he has gained from attending My Gym. We heartily recommend this premier educational and play program."
